… and I can’t wait!

I am so excited that I am finally able to vote! 

Obama FTW!*

*and I am obviously voting for him because I am college student who wants to be hip /sarcasm/

I’m sick of hearing that.

I’m also sick of my dad blathering on about how Obama is going to turn the country communist and trying to make me listen to his stupid conservative radio stations WHILE I AM ON THE PHONE! TYVM.. ugh! And all his “this is driving us apart” bullshit. I may not be like who you will be voting for (at ALL) but I’m not going to tell you that “it’s driving us apart”. If you started spewing misogynistic shit, then I would want to be far away from you at all times. Thankfully, even though you probably think that I am one crazyyyy feminist, you views on many of those issues aren’t horrible… But telling me that my choice of voting for Obama is driving us apart, or that you take this seriously (insinuating that I am not), is complete and utter BULLSHIT. 

How do you think I feel, being surrounded by an entire family who seems to go out of their way to hate democrats? Think that feels nice? I’d think not. I’m the one being ostracized by all this, if anyone. Mom doesn’t agree with my politics- she took one look at the Obama sticker on my purse, said “ew, I don’t want to look at that” and didn’t bring it up again. No, ‘it’s tearing us apart’ BS. Clearly, you are the one taking it personally. I am not bringing up politics at all in conversation with you anymore, since this is what you end up doing. If your going to have such a problem with my and my politics I won’t be bringing them up anymore. It’s as though you can’t stand that you can’t control how I decide to vote. And I’m not sorry that is pisses me off the way you write me off all the time- that I don’t understand or know what I’m talking about or that I’m not taking it seriously. Obviously you care about how far it is driving us apart when you are the one not talking to me. UGH!

And what I really hate is that if Obama wins, anything that goes the way you think is wrong or anything that doesn’t go right, you will tell me about it. I’m not looking forward to that, thanks. It’s all going to be stupid me for voting for him. Double UGH!

And if I have to hear one more person tell me that they don’t want to vote for Obama because he’s going to get shot? I will just go live in a cave. Or that there will be riots because of it. Maybe there will be riots, I don’t know. I’m not so ignorant that I would ever think of participating in such a thing, and I guess I’m just optimistic about our country. Hell, maybe if any riots actually happened it would expose how fucking racist some people in this country are. THEY are the ones with the problems. They need to understand their behavior is wrong, not that we shouldn’t elect a president because the fear of that happening.

… *le sigh*

So anyway.

I’m just so excited to be able to vote!

… I really wish they would give us college peeps the day off, that would be helpful. But I full intend on getting my free Starbucks drink! sweeet. I’m going to the polls with my one nursing friend, so I can have someone to go with and not be all by my self, please we can be all excited about voting while we wait. I’m worried I’m going to get the polls and be like “ughhh how do I do this?” lol. But I think I’ll be able to handle it.

I just can’t believe by this time tomorrow night we’ll most likely know who the next president of the US will be.

Nor can I believe that before turning 18 this year elections never mattered to me.

I guess we’ll see how it goes..

(Nikki + Emily, we should definitely be skyping sometime tomorrow!)
