Yes I Voted
i finally got two days off in a row from work. this hasn't happened for at least a month in a half if not longer. what did i do with all my spare time you ask? well, yesterday i woke up at like 9:30 and fucked around the house for a few hours, put the rent check in the mail, and finally got up enough courage to go to a ballet class at the studio that is a block from my house. this was a huge step for me. i haven't taken a dance class for about a year, and that was only about once a week for a couple months. and before that i hadn't danced for another year. it's really hard to explain why i stopped dancing after taking class 6 and 7 days a week for 14 years. it's a knot of emotions that i can't describe, and i've been avoiding confronting them for 3 years now. but i decided that enough was enough, i love to dance and i've been told i'm pretty good at it, so it was time to get off my ass, suck it up and take a class. it went relatively well. if only i could have retained all of my stamina and technique from when i was at my peak, but i couldn't so i had to take everything very slow, and go easy on myself so as not to injure anything. i will try to go to class once a week (even if stacy has to give me a "for your own good" ass kicking to get me to do it). then today, i spent a couple of hours reading up on all the propositions that were on the ballot to be voted on. i swear there were at least 15 of them! so as an educated voter, i got off my ass for the second time in two days and voted for the first time... oh and i made stacy come with me:) we stood in line for maybe 20 minutes, cast our votes and came home. now i'm just crossing my fingers that the election goes the way i hope it will. as i cleverly (or so i think) put it earlier on the phone with my dad: "I think voting for Kerry is like voting for the lesser of two idiots."
