As we all know, the presidential election was Tuesday, November 4, 2008. I hope y'all all went to vote. It's important whether you think it is or not. Your vote counts. I definitely went out to vote. This is my first time, and I was excited. I'm not quite sure why because I wasn't completely sure who I was going to vote for, but I figured it out quick. My mom and I went at about 5:50 AM to Northwood High School because of the precinct we are in, 106. We didn't get to actually vote until 7:15 AM. It didn't ruin it for me though. It was a new experience and a fun one at that.
I'm glad that this day has finally come because I am tired of hearing people bash both candidates. I am not one to bash anybody. I think both candidates were highly qualified although I don't agree with one of their choices for Vice President: Palin. No one asked me though. I think McCain could have chosen someone better suited. I am tired of telling people what I think, or not saying my opinion at all, because I feel that they will jump all over my case. It is my freakin' opinion. No one has to agree with it. You asked me, and I'm letting you know. It just makes me burning mad to think about it. I was with a friend in a group of people at school Tuesday and got so mad. The friend I was with is for Obama, and the group of people we were with weren't. The girl asked us if we had gone to vote. She knew that my friend was for Obama, and said something along the lines of, "you voted for Obama didn't you." We just stood there. My friend said, "I may have, or I may have voted for McCain." She replied with , "You bitch." I couldn't believe it. That comment was not needed. Why is she a bitch because she doesn't want to tell you who she voted for. It is no bodies business who you vote for unless you choose to make it there business. This comes from a girl who spent 200 dollars on a pair of sunglasses. I couldn't believe that crap by itself. I don't care for this girl as you can probably tell.
I am glad that I have had this experience, and I'm glad it is over. I can move on for the next four years, and hopefully miss out on jury duty until I have to vote again for the next President of the USA. We'll see how that goes. Yay!

I have been wanting to see the movie Nights in Rodanthe lately, but I have avoided going. I heard it was extremely sad, and I am one of those people who is hysterical when I see a movie someone says is sad. I know I will cry my eyes out. So, now I am trying to prepare myself. I purchased the book today, and I am attempting to read it. I want to read it by the time it comes out on DVD so I can rent it. I won't go see it in theatres because I don't want to disturb the people in the theatre. Ha ha. With all my homework, I don't know when I'll be able to finish it. I will stay determined though.

I saw the movie and it was very sad indeed.
I can definately tell you don't like that girl. Anyway, I bet most of those people who get mad about who someone votes for are really ignorant themselves. They probably only go with the majority.
Did you hear about the Howard Stern bit? He went out interviewing voters about the presidential candidates. Stern turned around all the facts to see if these people would catch on. Sadly, they didn't have a clue.
Ha. Well you know how political I am. I agree that people were pretty harsh on both candidates. I also agree with you on Palin. Oh my goodness was she an idiot. He should have chosen Condoleezza Rice.
And you wouldn't be able to get yourself together in Nights of Rodanthe. It was very sad, and even I cried.
