(no subject)

yesterday was the election..
i voted my first time..
and i was happy with it..
so why do people insist on making me feel like shit.
i went from a couple of extremes today..
manuel and i went down to his aunt's house
where the majority is republican bible thumping yes on 8's ..
and there i was..
one lonely little liberal in a room full of conservatives.
to afraid to defend my beliefs but instead just saying yeah yeah ..
and changing the subject..
she said i shouldn't be afraid to say who i voted for
i said i shouldn't be attacked either..
she's the one who's best friend is gay and she still voted yes on 8.
doesn't she love him enough to think that he might want to marry the person he loves one day..
 i guess not..
she said it was because he laughed and called them breeders..
and she thought hey they laugh at me one moment and then want the same rights i do ..
fuck that.
news flash you don't have to be married to have children..
i wasn't overly preachy..
i made a comment about something someone had said earlier..
about people saying that obama was the antichrist because all the signs were lining up
and i said i was happy with the way things turned out..
and i get attacked..
because of the fact that i don't own a house or buisness and i'm not currently employed this election does not effect me...
this election effects everyone..
more frustrations to be added.
............
i just hate all this bullshit propoganda tossed out by both sides..
i'm done with it all..
and i shouldn't be criticized about my life by anyone..
especially in my opinion to make themselves feel better about the way they are living themselves..
i'm fucking sick of it..
and i want to give up.
i get to manuel's house.
and my grandma calls me after the news was announced.
and asks me if i voted she was so happy..
and she knew who i voted for already.
no need to ask ..
she asked me who manuel voted for..
i told her..
SHOCK..
mccain ???..
we have to change him she says half jokingly..
i explained to manuel after i hung up..
manuel was raised in a more conservative household..
i was raised in a rather liberal one..
each party is pretty open with their beliefs when it comes to that..
and that's it..
i don't judge him.
he doesn't judge me.
i leave it at that..
this entry is me rambling to no end again..
i wanna manuel and i move away..
far away and never see any of the members of our family again..
that would make me partially happy..
at least for a while..
-m
p.s.
the grandma that hates me ..
the one that thinks i'm a waste of space..
is going to be at our thanksgiving..
if i were only born a boy she might not think of me this way.
i feel like calling my mama and scrapping thanksgiving with her..
it's still early enough to so maybe.
