For the first time in my life I voted for something (at least something involving the government, cause I have voted for school elections and whatnot). My voting was due in large part to Josh Newman, living now in England, who told me that it was killing him that I wasn't going to vote since he couldn't vote himself. He got the appropriate forms for me and mailed them for me after I filled them out (he was that emphatic about it! :lol). To be honest, when I walked over to the polling booth I wasn't even sure if I was really gonna be registered or not, but sure enough my name was on their list. The polling booth was literally across the street, and since I had looked up all the candidates and propositions and what-have-you, I took my cheat sheet with me and was in and out of there in about 5 minutes. For anyone who is wondering, it was a paper ballot, where you had to mark the spaces with a pen that was provided (much like standardized tests in school, except with a pen instead of a pencil). So there you go, my apathy apparently only goes so far, I've now exercized the right for which so many have put so much effort forth for me (and millions like me) to have. Now let's sit back and see who wins :grin
