Today was a local primary election and a friend of mine was running for office, so despite waking up feeling awful for some unknown reason and missing class today, I did manage late in the day to drag myself down to the voting booth and participate in the one peaceful thing every citizen can do to effect change.

It was fairly coincidental that I was also summoned for jury duty today, for the first time in the 10 years I have been registered to vote. Im pretty happy about it. Jury duty is such an important thing, rather than being one voice in millions, I can be one voice in 12. Jury decisions set precedence and precedence affects and in some cases creates laws. That is pretty powerful. I wish I could have been on the jury when the WM3 (http://www.wm3.org) had their trial. I hope they actually pick me and I get to hear and decide a case. That would be very cool. My date isnt until the middle of October. ) I can be a bit absent minded, or actually too full minded and space important things sometimes so I have set up reminders for it on my desktop, laptop and on a friends computer

Anyway, that was pretty cool, and my friend was ahead of the other Lib last time I checked. Yay for him, Ill have to bring him a bottle of my mead tomorrow when the final votes tally, (though winning a primary really doesnt mean much as a 3d party candidate, it does get him a spot in the debates though which is what he wanted.)
Yay!!

Ok, so Ive been really political lately, WTF! I guess it is just that season. I feel old and too serious. {shudder}

~*bounce bounce*~ Silly stuff ~fluff Fluff~ etc.

Ok thats better, now there is some balance here

BTW, thank you to everyone who posted such nice stuff on my last post. You all rock!!
