Whee! Bereft.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Punishingly Intricate
Nuh uh, she's performing alchemy and then welding the result into a bike.
And THEN she will knit him a cozy for the bike!
I voted! And DAMNIT! forgot to get a sticker AGAIN. At my precinct one of the two check in laptop things wasn't working and one of the 7 voting machines wasn't working.
"oh sorry. natural consequence. I really don't want to punish you and I'm bereft that you've forced me into it."
brilliant! That certainly would work on me. Even now.
I can't concentrate at all this week! I'm totally on vacation in my heart even though vacation doesn't officially start until next Monday.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

you sign the book under the signature you sent in when you registered, and they just compare that.
My favorite part is how if the signatures don't match* they still don't ask for ID. They just ask you to see if you can sign it "to make it look like the one in the book."
(*Like, say, if when you first registered in NY, you'd only been married a few weeks and didn't quite have your new last name down yet in signature form.)
I have to say, knowing how predetermined most of the races were in my district, I was quite tempted to vote at least once for the "Rent Is Too High" party.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Blah blah blah democracy blah blah citizens' responsibility blah....
Sorry. I'm just glad it's over. OK, over by this evening. Except for the recounts and lawsuits and protests and cursing Lieberman when he switches parties....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Isn't it really the "Rent Is Too Damn High" party? Even better.

Ha! Almost as great as when I was running around charging things to my (male) boss's credit card. With no problems ever.

Actually, there was one competitive race in our district, for State Senator. Which is why you're seeing all those signs to vote down the Working Family Party line: All the candidates are the same as the Democratic ticket, except for that one office.
And I did vote for the WFP candidate, because he's the one who is anti-Atlantic Yards.

I think it is, but they don't print the swearing on the ballot.

I set my alarm last night intending to vote this morning because I got the okay to be late. Then morning happened. So I'm going to vote after work. I have my voter registration card, an out-of-state license (shut up, I'm lazy and it doesn't expire until 2008), a social security card, a major credit card, and several pieces of mail, so I'm hoping I'll be able to vote without having to return home for more "dude, I totally live here!" ammo.
