VOAT MOAR
I guess all my Election 08 tags have been leading up to today. Thank god it's almost over; I'm all showered and dressed for the day...I'll probably go vote when I'm done with this entry. It's a comfortable walk to my polling place from where I live (about 20 minutes), so that'll give me an excuse to go for a nice little walk, too.
Hey, there was just a commercial on telling me that Obama wants to ban guns. Way to make me want to vote for him more, NRA.
God, I hate the NRA. It baffles me that people in this country will badmouth the ACLU, but the NRA gets basically a free pass. Those guys are fucking psycho. The ACLU takes up some unpopular and outrageous positions about free speech and minority rights, but they don't hurt anyone. The NRA takes up the stance that we all need armor-piercing bullets and the right to open fire in public. Who is really worse for society? COME ON.
What was I talking about? Voting? Something like that. Maybe I'll vote. We'll see how bored I am. I might just play PS2 all day.
Best part of Election Day: The Daily Show and the Colbert Report team up from 10pm-midnight for Indecision '08 coverage. I'll be watching that.
I am still undeterred in my certainty that McCain is going to win. By mid-October, I was wavering, but thanks to some articles I read in Newsweek and Time and Obama's incompetent strategy for the last few weeks, my faith is renewed. McCain is going to win; I'll honestly be shocked beyond all reason if Obama wins. I think most all of the swing states--especially Ohio and Florida--are going to go easily to McCain, and alot of the Republican strongholds that Obama has fought so hard for and just going to revert to form (Arizona, Colorado, Virginia) because the majority is going to come out to counter their states' changes.
I can't wait to not talk about politics as much. Anyone new to my journal I the last few months since I went mostly F.O. must think I'm a nut. My last, like, 5 or 6 entries that are public viewable are all about the election. I hope that didn't turn anyone off; I just didn't happen to F.O. those entries for some reason.
I'm considering not F.O.-ing anymore. I don't care who is reading my entries and gossiping about it to whom. They aren't relevant to my life anymore anyway, and I'm pretty happy with my public stuff. I don't write this drivel just to hide it. Friends Only experiment just not worth it.
My mouth is the worst part of my life right now. I am having an ulcer attack--I get these every now and then. I'll go a few months with Normal Person Mouth, then I'll just wake up one day with an ulcer somewhere in my mouth. That will be the start of about three weeks or so of continuous ulcers popping up and going away and festering before they all fade out, and I'll have another few months of peace. I'm never sure what kicks them off or why I get them; I've been like this since childhood. I know the week before they started, I had eaten several lemons (I love lemons)...I imagine that can't be good for my mouth. Another reason I need to quit drinking pop at all (I don't drink caffeinated pop or anything with sugar in it, but maybe I need to get the whole acidic crap out of my life) and go harder on the Juicy Juice trail. Juice is expensiver, though.
Anyway, right now I have four ulcers in my mouth. Three of them are mostly unimportant and not any place they can cause much pain, but one is right on my jaw hinge. My molars and wisdom tooth have been clamping down on it repeatedly for a week now when I talk or chew or breathe.
Before you say it...I've tried everything: Gargling with peroxide. Gargling with salt water. Mouthwash. Crushing up Tums and applying them. I've even taken antibiotics. Nothing makes these things go away except time. If you know any other remedy for them, feel free to share, but I feel hopeless in this regard.
I went out with Tara again on Sunday...just for lunch at Olive Garden. it was nice. We ate, then sat around and chatted for an hour or so after we finished. She is fun, yes. Still...I don't know. I guess there is something there because she's texted me several times since then.
I have...hm. More I want to say on the matter. Or kind-of the matter. But...not now? Not now. I have to build up for what I want to say; It takes WILL. So. I think I'mma go vote, and then maybe head out to the store to pick up some juice and pop tarts.
