Voting is fun!
Nov. 2nd, 2004 10:50 amFrom the moment I stepped in line to the moment I put my yellow electronic voter card in the box, it was 45 minutes. Not too shabby. Everyone go cast your lj vote for President here.
Bradley was ahead of me in line, so we talked for a few moments after he voted. Bradley had seen Ben while he was in line. My maternal grandmother was also in line, in front of me. Dad was about 25 people behind me. Mom voted last week. My paternal grandmother is working at a polling station all day. If my family is any indication of how many people are voting, then, well...everyone would be voting.
I saw Dad behind me in line so I called him on his cell phone and told him to lean to the right - he did and he saw me standing out from the line. We started joking around and talking on the phone (despite the fact we could see each other). My grandmother came walking by and Dad and I laughed at her because she didn't notice me until I said her name. Then she walked by Dad and didn't see him, either. When Dad called out her name she was startled and sorta jumped. I burst out laughing from my spot in line. Once she left, Dad and I got back on the phone and laughed at her. It was quite amusing, though I guess you had to be there.
As I said in my phone post, I voted for Stephen Hawking four times, because I couldn't bring myself to vote for John Linde, and not casting a vote for such positions is not nearly as entertaining as writing in your own people. Frodo and Bilbo also got a vote, though I was voting for my possums from three summers ago by those names.
So...yeah. More to come, but probably in a protected post.
