get over yourself

hey aarie, that's so great that you're volunteering for something you support!

has everyone gotten their voting cards? i remember the first time i voted, i was so excited... and then it was really anticlimactic and i was somewhat disappointed. but it all paid off when elizabeth may was at the special debate! (i voted for the green party in the vancouver quadra election, and i know that has nothing to do with anything, but it makes me feel like the support i showed made a difference! haha) so yeah, vote! i think in the last election, there was a 65% voter turnout. and i can see why people would decide not to vote... but i mean, just because the country isn't totally dependent on your one choice, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't find a candidate that represents your concerns and values best and show it. by not voting at all, you're letting other citizens choose who has the power... and how do you know that they have the same values as you? imagine what the othe 35% of potential voters could change if they wanted to...

yeah so here i am in the late am hours (or early, if you will...) blabbing on...

yeah, i was going to say some stuff about co-op but i don't think i will. it's just so unhelpful to vent here and it's kind of sad.

i'd love to see you guys too..! i need some notice, though, because i have two assignments due every week and midterms next week!!!
