Writer's Block: Secret Ballot

Nov 04, 2008 16:44

For me it was a little weird.  My voting place was a local firestation.  I wasn't really sure where to go and I didn't want to go in the wrong place and get busted somewhere I shouldn't be by the firemen.  I'm sort of jealous of all those people who have stickers and all that stuff.  Where I went it was just a table of older ladies signing people in.  There was just me and a man that came in behind me.  Everyone was very nice and helpful  It was nice to be in a political atmosphere without all of the tension that I usually get from having different views from my family and some friends.

But it was weird in other ways too.  I'm not in a party so I don't do all the primary stuff that other people do.  I don't get to vote that often.  I felt like even though it was important and it was something that I've been looking forward to, that I wasn't old enough.  Funny right?  I've been able to vote for almost 10 years.  You'd think I would be used to it by now.
