it’s a sweet sweet night. i finally picked a winner.
and in the words of Hedwig Schmidt…”i feel so optimistic”
🙂
election day
so…a lot of people think, why vote, it doesn’t matter. and that may be true, especially for me in ny. it’s a blue state, it will continue to be a blue state so my vote for obama doesn’t matter all that much. but…in 10 years (3 presidents) of voting this is the first one that i’ve really felt was important. i certainly didn’t want to see bush win a 2nd time, but in the end it wasn’t exciting or interesting (frustrating maybe ha). but i’m actually really emotional about this election, people are so much more passionate about the candidates, and it’s clear the voter turn out is incredible. i think it’s a huge message that people want change…and whether you think that change is from obama or mccain, we still want it. that alone should send a message. such an important election, of course i hope it goes a certain way, but regardless…historic. it’s pretty amazing.
i voted at the old polling place with no problem. there were 5 districts voting in the same place, and i was #206 for my district. i had to wait 10 min or so, only because i was behind some senile old people (the one guy signed in to vote, and then got out of line. they asked him if he voted and he said yeah…then..oh yeah i have to go in the booth! wtf! then when he got in the booth he tried to get out without reopening the curtains and thus registering his choices hahaha). they said they had some lines earlier in the morning (i went around 2), and expect lines again from 5-7.
fingers crossed. i so don’t want to go to work!!
an aside…since i was a kid, i’ve been exposed to the big NY metal booths for voting, with the curtain to make it private, and the little levers to register your choices. seeing what other states use to vote, little tables with tiny little walls, the chads of florida etc…i’m so surprised that other voting methods are so old fashioned and archaic.
yup
want to clear up something on the boy post…just cuz i sorta like him, and even if he wasn’t a degenerate, i still don’t date. so it’s really not an issue, or a possibility, i just want to stop dreaming about him. they are not sex dreams or anything like that, they just bother me. the last one which he found amusing was that him and another guy from work came to hang out at my house but i lived in a toys r us, and we went on a swing set and someone started shooting red and blue paint balls at us. there’s another guy at work i think is cute, but he is chinese and i can’t understand a fucking word he says. he’s just nice to look at lol. i think he tried to ask me about atlantic city tonight, but i’m not entirely sure so i usually just laugh and nod and he does the same, cuz most of the time i don’t think he understands what anyone is saying either. and no more thought needs to go into this subject.
GO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!
wow
i’ve seen alot of “worst album cover” pages before but my dad sent me one today with this gem i’ve never seen before. holy cow…
i got woken up today but a call from bob weir (i think) reminding me to vote, courtesy of headcount.org…and i thought…who is bob weir? isn’t he the grateful dead guy? yes, yes he is. and he totally sounded like an old 60s burn out ha. then i wondered how headcount got my phone number. i expected moveon.org to call cuz i sent them money and never got my obama buttons, but nope. headcount is apparently music based…”We were created in 2004 by a group of artists, music industry professionals and fans, all determined to make sure the live music community is well-represented at the polls.”
i can’t wait until tomorrow so i can go vote for my black communist secret muslim president! i am actually nervous about this election. it’s so weird!
Halloween
so…blah i like this boy at work. and it just can’t happen. too many problems. but i keep dreaming about him and it really needs to stop.
in the end, i only had 1 trick or treater so i’m very glad i didn’t go and buy more than one bag of candy. i didn’t carve a pumpkin but it got smashed anyway. there was quite a lot of pumpkin debris on the street when i got home from work. i ended up being michael jackson for halloween, i remembered i still had the thriller jacket at my parents house. it went over pretty well, though i was surprised at the number of people who didn’t know what i was…some people got it right away, and other people would ask if this was what i wore to NIN shows…um i think if i went to shows dressed as MJ i’d get beat up. i took some bad phone pics and threw them up on facebook. real cam pics turned out badly, and i didn’t feel like doing proper self portraits.
dream
strange dream: adr2 bliss and i were traveling in seemingly the boston area. we stopped at an old house turned hotel to get rooms for the night. at this point it’s afternoon and adr2 and bliss went in to book rooms and i stayed in the car. for hours and hours and hours. finally i call adr2 and she doesn’t answer, so i call bliss and she doesn’t answer. i get out of the car and yell HELLO really loud down the street but there’s no one around. i start to go up to the house and call adr2 again and i hear a phone ringing. her phone is on the ground next to me, she threw it out the window. it’s an iphone so i pick it up cuz at least then i can play with it. i go back to the car to call the hotel and see if i can get them on a room phone. the guy answers and i ask for them and he said there’s no one with that name. so i ask for the white girl with pink hair and the black girl who asked for rooms who left me sitting outside in the car for the last 6 hours. he said i’m not allowed to talk to them. i’m like wtf. he starts explaining to me that i can’t see them, that no one can, because they have a disease that in the final stages shows up as a big skin infection, and that they are dying. only a day or 2 left to live. really adr2 has the disease, but bliss wanted to stay with her and it turns out she had already caught it anyway. i can’t see them because they didn’t want me to catch it. so i ask the guy why is he letting them stay and putting himself at risk then. he said something about how he felt bad and that he had a duty. i sorta convince him to let me go to their room, and he tells me how to get there – turn this way and that way and down that hall and i’m like wtf is this place a maze. then he starts giving me a phone number that was bizarrely long that i didn’t remember. finally i’m like whatever, is there another hotel i can stay at, and he gives me directions. so i go to this other hotel and get a room and i’m really fucking pissed off at everything. magically adr2 shows up in the room and i’m like wtf i thought you were dying. i guess there was some miracle and she wasn’t really dying. so i’m like what the fuck, you were just going to fake your death and not ever tell me you were still alive? like i wouldn’t end up seeing you around town or at a show, and then what, how were you going to explain that? and she’s talking about how she’s glad she envisioned me taking this better (cuz i guess that means this wasn’t real and when it really did happen i was going to take it better?) i was so fucking mad and she kept talking and i just stood there glaring at her. then people came to take us off to the psych ward for some reason.
also i’m totally not feeling halloween. i don’t want to dress up for work cuz i really don’t have a costume. i was just going to wear my fishnet dress and my boots i bought some devil horns so i could say i was something, and not just wearing show clothes. i’m also going to freeze in it at work (if it still fits at all). so i dunno what to do…
:)
if i carve a pumpkin to look like sarah palin and then jam a knife into it for display, will that be considered offensive? 🙂
ugh
omg i so can’t wait for the election to be over. i’m so sick of ignorant people confusing things. obama is not a secret muslim (and so what if he was). obama is not a communist. he is not a socialist. and socialism does not = communism. there are plenty of socialist policies in many important countries out there, like most of europe, that does not make them socialist. and i really doubt that the idea of “sharing the wealth” is going to mean we’re all going to end up working on commune farms with fellow comrades like soviet russia. give me a fucking break.
there is such a thing as democratic socialism.
bubba
i still love bill clinton.
watching cnn they had a ticker line that said there is a large number of newly registered voters in NY that have yet to be added to the voter rolls for tuesdays election…which makes me wonder if i’m going to have a problem come tuesday…i’m registered, voted many times the last 10 years, but i sent my new address in to the dmv/election board right after i closed on the house the first week in sept, and my polling place is still listed with my old address. i’m going to go show up at the old place (Gratwick) instead of what the new place would be (board of education bldg) and hope for the best. no one i know has received their voting reminder postcard with their polling place either, which is very odd. i’m not screaming conspiracy here, because in NY it’s really not going to matter being a blue state and all, but still…it’s just odd. maybe they’ve just been so busy with all the new voter applications they are behind and all will be sorted in the next 6 days…
in 6 days i hope to never hear the word “maverick” ever again
yuck
so Trent has disabled my youtube slide show for Central Terminal because i used Leaving Hope as the background music and thus infringed his copyright. I wonder if i was to use a ghosts song, which is creative commons, if it would get shut down….I realize HE probably has nothing to do with this, and it’s interscope or some other entity but i’m still really annoyed.
