My sister or my BFF, though the roommate is rapidly gaining ground.

Inside jokes is definitely the SO, although there are a couple of other close friends who would rank pretty far up there. It has to do not only with proximity, but with propensity for inside jokes. My mother, for example, would be great at it, but inside jokes are just not something she does.

Voting: I miss going to the Navajo chapter house for my polling place. But my current polling place is almost as picturesque. It's the little community center, where we have the booth that serves as our post office, and the honor system lending library. I could totally walk the dog over to the polling place, leash him to the stand outside (complete with dog water bowl), vote, and be in and out in about ten minutes.

I'm an undecided voter, but all y'all won't like my choices: Gary Johnson or Jill Stein. And I suspect it'll end up libertarian this time, because he's not that bad on the social issues. But seriously, I have been voting peace candidates since we got into these fucking wars, and so far? Still in the fucking wars. I know this is not the way you guys work, what with wanting your candidates to possibly win, and all, but I really believe that you have to keep voting who you actually want to win. That the eventual success of third parties, and therefore the nation (because the polarizing nature of a two party system is seriously destructive at this point) depends on people voting third party when they agree with that candidate, regardless of "chances to win." But I'm an idealist, and I understand that.

And I no longer believe that Obama can or will get us out of the wars or return us habeas corpus. I truly believe everything hinges on it. (Well, and campaign finance reform, but I'm never going to get that, so.) Budget, economy, foreign relations. And that if we could significantly change our military policies that we'd have more funding to deal with the domestic issues, health, education, infrastructure. (I would also like to note that if we had instituted my health care plan when I started talking about it (i.e., subsidized science and math education from elementary through college, followed by obligations to serve in low-cost clinics through career start) those kids would now be getting ready to graduate, and we'd be another term or two away from a phalanx of well-educated physicians to staff low-cost clinics, plus stronger schools overall, and also good candidates for other fields like engineers and whatnot (similar programs could go for infrastructure and civil engineering projects).)

My town is super heavily active Mormon, though, so it probably doesn't matter for me. Like, Mafia levels of town running: you can't get good jobs if you're not Mormon, you get poorer service if you're not Mormon.

Probably my sister, I guess.

KQED has a voter's guide as well; I keep planning to download it and take a look.

I know you're not in Utah, but I also know you're in as close as to never mind. Do the Mormons ever give you funny looks when you talk about working with the mission?

Inside jokes: brother, then amyth or sister.

my brother does it a lot with me, butI'm not sure if he even notices I'm not into it as much as him.

ita, I recommend trying to slog through and understand the propositions on the ballot. And I second the LWV recommendations as they are clear about why the support and/or are against things.

Inside jokes? Probably a tie between DH and my sister, with a fair amount of overlap between them.

I share the most inside jokes with Emmett, but that's partly because our entire relationship is based on inside jokes. Well, except for the overt parental stuff and baseball and music. But mostly there are quotes from the Revenge Society episode of The Venture Brothers. Or Invader Zim, Archer, Louis CK, Community, Adventure Time...

It helps that he's a fairly good mimic and gets the intonation just right on lines which are only funny to us like, "Because you are sane!" and "That is a mug!"

inside jokes.

my brother, easily.

A couple of years ago, I would have said my BFF, but we hardly talk now. So, I would say TCG and I share the most inside jokes, we're constantly making each other laugh with things that are only funny to the two of us.
