"I have been very quiet about this race, and even now I don't feel it my place to air my political views. I, unlike some people and organizations, do not believe in the promotion of my own political views by any means necessary. I fully respect *everyone's* right to their own opinion. I have seen a lack of respect for mine. I have been told that it would be preferable that I didn't vote because I was voting in a way that they didn't agree with. I don't care who you vote for, but make sure that you voted. Make your own choices, don't let others choose for you. Use your head. Even if you choose NOT to vote, it better be a conscious decision not to. That too is a choice." - Piro (Fred) of www.Megatokyo.com

Yesterday was not a good day. This was my worst essay paper that I've written. I know what killed me this time around, and I didn't feel good about it when I was trying to form up something about it you know. God I need help. Plus the weather was getting pretty bad here in Georgia. The first paragraph above with Fred taking the words right out of my mouth. Yesterday was my first time voting, and was a good feeling that I was actually making a decision.

I had so much work to do, but I just couldn't get on it and it's probably costing me my future. So I stayed up all night the day before the voting. I only got two hours of sleep. Alicia wanted me to call, and we ended up talking female antamony (msp?), so that was quite interest lol and awkward. Then Monica had some wierd problem which she was over reacting, but I wasn't going to tell her that. I told her to calm down, because she was all thinking suicidal thoughts for no reason. So what if your best friend out of town is liking your best friend that came into town. She already has a boyfriend, so why is she worried? That things don't work out? Well I can see that, but why be suicidal over something like that? I don't know.

So I waited in line for 1 hours thank God. Mom got me up around 6 and we went to vote. So the day progresses and math seems quite hard right now, then I have to read up on something for my reading class and I just don't get it. She wants us to find an article and make a test out of it. Of course it was going to be political. Then later on went home, Brittany had nothing to do and started talking to me. I thought that was weird, and I knew something was up. Then she asked who I vote for, first of all I already knew she had voted for Bush. You can see it all over her. Which was fine. But I voted for Kerry, I made that decision. Now that doesn't mean I hate Bush, both of these people really are not standing out much.

brittany was like saying I made an "uneducated vote" and I'm like. Oh my God I know she didn't just bash me for my own decision, at least I went to vote. I just wanted to cuss her out and everything, I was trying to stay calm. And yet she kept on continuing when I said I do not want to talk about it. She was saying I was speechless and shit. I'm like why are you debating when people are voting? Just the fact that she was know bashing Kerry and stuff, I mean she has her own opinion, but trying to say I'm stupid in some sorta nice way. I know what she meant.

What a f*cking BRAT she is. I just can't believe she would let politics get in the way of our friendship. She was like no I'm just debating. Me knowing that I'm a first time voter, and I know I wouldn't do well in debates. I at least read up some articles and try to put things together you know. how dare she do something like that to people, I she was sitting there talking show she got one of her friends who's a Kerry supporter mad. Why are you going to be so proud of that. You voted, they voted, get the hell over it. I'm wondering if this had to do with a lot of religion reasons with her, even though she's quite religious. I believe in God, but as my pastor says, to pray about it, and in the end if God gives you the strength who you should vote for.

I highly doubt that God's going sit there and say Bush, because he's religious. This has nothing to do with that. At least I kept god in my mind and hope I was doing the right thing. It's impssible to know everything so you can really debate you know. I hate the fact that she was going around making people mad and upset. Just leave me alone. I didn't bring up any political thing to her, even if she voted for Bush, then she voted for Bush. She made her decision and I'm not going to hate her for it. I just hate the way she disrespected me, I'm not saying I'm above her or anything. I wish I would have saved that conversation, but I didn't want to look at it anymore. Why should I say I'm sorry for not being more smart and read everyting up on the president election. I'm not going to say sorry to people who are going to act so selfish like that.

She was saying that she IS RIGHT. No one is right, how do you know such a thing!? I lost a lot of respect for her, and she knew that I didn't say much on political things you know. She was saying a lot during class but you can tell I don't speak out yelling and stomping around who's better then who. No one's better then anybody else. To have me this upset to actually write an entry, and mess up my story flow. I'm just glad more people voted. Good for you and me. If Bush wins, hopefully he can clean up what's going on, but he's keeping on the same agenda which isn't looking very good in the rest of world and people here's eyes. If Kerry wins, it feels like I made a difference. That's really all it is about. Dealing with disappointment and such.

I want to apologize to anyone, if I offended anyone in here you know. I'm a bit upset for the fact things like that turn out. In a few days we'll find out who's president, I'm just glad I voted. But I'm mad that I was getting bashed for who I voted for. I voted that's the whole point. Thanks for reading, and I wouldn't mind some comments on this one since I don't really write much on the way I feel on political stuff. Thanks again.
