Sorry. I have been "busy" with "living life" and developing an obsessive need for a dawg. I have everything I might need for this dawg, not just the dawg yet. No one in the dirt hole has the sort of dawg I crave, desire, want, need, etc. So i have to travel out of the dirt hole, and that takes timing and planning, etc.
Anyways, the Twilight movie is upon us! Ohnoz! People are going crazy! People are upset at being closed out of apperances! Ohnoz! The world has gone to crazy town! I have been following this craziness via Cleolinda's Occupation:Girl and that is all. I get all Twilight info from this website, as she shares my crazy need for Twilight, but not truely understanding the obessive nature of the fangirls towards it. Basically, she makes it funny and I realized reading something today, that is what is missing from the whole thing: funny. Its got no funny charm like Buffy did. Through reading Cleolinda's summaries and take on the whole thing, it became FUNNY! I enjoyed the fourth book purely because I had read her take on the whole thing, and it was fresh in my memory upon reading the book, so I tended to laugh a lot.
I wonder how the dirt hole will handle this craziness?

I rock, I roll, I forget to stop
YAY! BARACK WON!
YAY! ELECTION IS OVER!
YAY! WE CAN START CAMPAIGNING FOR 2012! I AM SO EXCITED!
In other news, I hate close minded people. Some folks my husband works with stated yesterday that people living in the dirt hole should not be allowed to vote as they will vote Democratic, not Republican. WHO CARES IF THEY ARE DEMOCRATS! EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO AND CAN SHOULD VOTE, DAMN IT. How stupid are people? I never heard in my life a person say that "Oh, so and so shouldn't vote because they are Republican." Never. I have heard people say people shouldn't vote because they are stupid, but not based on what paper they are affiliated with. I have only heard close minded people make such comments, and sadly they usually associated themselves with Republicans. WHY?! Why in this day and age are people still making stupid comments like that?
Urg. The other thing is that people in the dirt hole speak Spanish, some of them that is the only laungage they speak. Thus, these close minded people went on to tell my husband that when these Spanish only speaking people show up to vote, the people working point at McCain and tell them to mark that one. This upset me (and a few others) for an array of reasons. One, only US citizens can vote. If you are not born here, to become a citizen one must speak English to a point. Usually better than I speak it, but I digress. They would be able to tell the difference between McCain and Barack. The other thing, which D pointed out to my husband and I, is that while he cannot speak a word of Spanish, he can read names. He can tell the difference between one name from the other and knows who they are. Thus, someone who spoke Spanish and showed up to vote, would know WHO THEY WANTED TO VOTE FOR AND wouldn't be SO STUPID as to FALL FOR THAT ILLEAGAL TRICK.
God, I hate it here. Please, please can I go back to civilization? To my little liberal cocoon? I miss my liberal cocoon. Seriously, where did all these close minded, idiots come from?

Pull the shutters tight
Election day is upon us. Tomorrow, the world will change!
(Never mind it changes every minute of our lives, but tomorrow there will be CHANGE)
Four years ago, when Bush was re-elected (or elected for the first time) I was in Scotland, stumbling around while people kept asking me about the election. The day after the election, I do not think I had been noticed more. Suddenly, I was a glaring American beacon who would tell all what America was thinking and WHY they re-elected (or elected for the first time) an idiot. I had no answers for them, as I had not voted, much to the dismay of many. I did not care, I knew who would win and I knew it did not matter what I did. As I stated before, I was pretty right about the whole thing.
This election, even thought I still felt my vote had little count to it, as I know IL will go Democratic, I still voted. Just because I HATE SARAH PALIN. I know this is a LAME reason to vote, but it is why I went out there, went through the hassel and voted.
And now I am advoiding election news at all costs. My husband as watched the weather channel (they predict if it rains, the Republicans win) and the morning news. Later he was on some news website and looking at maps. I ignored him during these points of time by reading books. Now he is at work, and I have watched DVDs and cable TV that will not tell me any news. I find it is best not to expose myself to election coverage. I did not the last election, and actually did not find out who had won until I think maybe lunch. They were not sure at that point still, but it looked as thought Bush had won. By my last class of the day, they sure were Bush had won, and I was the center of attention.
I wonder if Kerry had won, if I would have been the center of attention?
