Tomorrow I will be voting in person for the first time! I've always voted by absentee ballot, so this will be a new experience. I'm excited.

Democracy's pretty awesome, really.

It doesn't hurt that my polling place is sort of near the supermarket. POST-HALLOWEEN CANDY SALES Y/Y?

Meanwhile, I think I will check out the Gormenghast DVD I got from the library, because I think I did that the day after Halloween a few years back and it was pretty great.

I will also be re-watching the TJ & the Revo music video [livejournal.com profile] cadragongirl linked to a while back, because that is pretty great too.

It was kind of fun! No waiting in long lines or anything; yet another upside of having a not-nine-to-five job.

Proof that we never grow out of some things: they gave me an "I voted!" sticker afterward. And I totally wore it. XD

I wore mine! Every time I see one on someone (usually from early voting), it reminds me to vote, so I think that it has some use other than the geek factor.

(I was really quite gleeful to get my first sticker a few years ago, after voting absentee mostly and never getting a sticker in the district in which I grew up. I'd actually never seen such a thing until one of the West Wing election episodes, and my initial reaction was to wonder whether they were a particularly DC institution...)

Yes! That glee. Exactly.
