As most of the people who read this blog already know.... today, I will vote for the SECOND time ever. I mean, I've voted for the executive committee at CCHS, a resolution to screw over the state and the environment by allowing Pepsi, Co. and Coke to keep billions of dollars that are not rightfully theirs each year, and for Margaritas for election day.... BUT, because I was a silly science geek in RI for a short time in my life, I did not register to vote in NY until this year. When the candidates for freakin President were finally revealed, I figured it was about that time. Plus the constant annoying ringing in my ear that wouldn't go away.
The first time I voted, I had a small anxiety attack. I needed my mom to show me what to do and then I hesitated pulling the lever.... you know, like at the end of a test when you almost get up out of your seat but quickly turn back to your test and scantron to make sure the answer to the question you skipped was properly recorded on the scantron because if not, ALL of your answers get messed up.... Luckily, all was well and I was able to pull the lever with confidence. And when I did, that little "ding" sound sorta made me giddy. Who knew voting would have such an effect on me? Not me, that's fer sher. If you are a skeptic like me, I say to you (in true Mom fashion), "Try it, you might like it!"
I don't know if I will get that same rush this time around because I'll probably be cranky from waiting in line but I guess there is only one way to find out.
Go on... what else do you have to do today? I'll be sacrificing:
a. treasured time spent with my baby
2. gas + the environment (yes, I am registered in NY however I am not registered in my new place of residence.... albany... oops.)
d. time spent on getting these past 2 and 1/2 years into my past already!
What is your poll tax?
ps- are cupcakes synonymous with election day or something?? On way more than 1 blog, I have been dared to devour election day cupcakes.... You?

I'm pretty sure cupcakes should be present at every election. Or gooey, undercooked hot tranny messes that I like to call pumpkin cheesecake swirl brownies.
grood for you, but im sorry that you didn't get to vote for your fave. let me tell you from experience, voting is a lot more fun when you win, and when you don't vote for the guy who bangs whores.
good for you adb. next year i would be interested to hear your endorsements. you seem to be a very level headed, logical person so i bet you had some good advice.
