Hey, you guys, I voted! I love voting: I mean, I love teeny-tiny polling stations staffed by genteel old ladies, I love how you walk in and everyone is so pleased to see you, I love how in every general election in my memory it's a cherry-blossom May, and full of promise. It's an illusion, maybe, but it's one I'm happy to buy into, for one day at ( Read more... )

Yay! Congratulations on exam results!

(I love voting too! I feel kind of cheated that my mum gets to vote for me today.)

Oooh! You're really unlucky that way; I was thinking that this election probably has some of the oldest first-time voters ever...

(and, thank you!)

I don't get the chance to do so very often (as a Libertarian here I am barred from voting in primaries and similar elections, which pretty much leaves only the presidentials) but I enjoy it too. Maybe things don't come out the way I wanted but at least I made the effort.

Congratulations on your exam results! Having been reading about TE Lawrence (*blush* Yeah, I know...obsessive fangirl), who also went to Oxford, I have a better understanding of just what that means now and how hard it is to achieve. You continue to impress and amaze me. Keep up the good work.

Thanks very much, honey. You're very kind, and I do appreciate it.

Well done on the distinctions!

My sister lives in 'Cameronland' and has found her local Conservative councillors very helpful, but she doesn't like the council's plan to close the local library, and she was horrified by what turned out to have been going on elsewhere in the borough, as reported by Johann Hari.

Thank you!

My friend jacinthsong does as well! I've been really intrigued by that article...

Whee! Congratulations!

I am deeply weirded out, this is the first time I've voted and not had six pages of STV to deal with.

Thank you!

(heeee! that's amazing.)
