Date: 2008-11-04 05:15 am (UTC)You know how I feel about these things.
So do the guys who hit on me in the bar here. Even the British ones. I may export them to Florida, if necessary.
In the meantime, good to see you're keeping calm!

NOT FLORIDA. I THINK WE'VE MAYBE GOT FLORIDA. MAYBE. SEND THEM TO OHIO.

Date: 2008-11-04 05:23 am (UTC)Okay, okay, Ohio!
But if our candidate doesn't win, you know that just means they rigged it.
And then we can make them pay.
BREATHE.

Date: 2008-11-04 05:30 am (UTC)I WILL BREATHE ON WEDNESDAY.
Do you think I should go camp out at the polling place?

Date: 2008-11-04 05:37 am (UTC)... Especially all those arrests.
Although maybe bribery and record-erasure would fix that?

Date: 2008-11-04 05:44 am (UTC)...I'm pretty sure the other party would find out about it eventually. Sorry.

Date: 2008-11-04 05:48 am (UTC)But clearly, it won't be me, after the Secret Service talks to Teal Deer.
And yes, I think you should camp at the polls.
I'm tormenting people in my dorm, along with the other ex-pats. You do your thing. I'll take over the TV room and do mine.

Date: 2008-11-04 05:50 am (UTC)Not that that would ever happen, of course.
I have snacks! And my camcorder. And I think Twitch is going to overnight me some quaaludes.

Date: 2008-11-04 05:58 am (UTC)Thanks for that. Although this makes me wonder what Becky and the Cranky Ninja are up to these days.
Yay snacks! And the camcorder is required. Link me to your liveblog if you get it hooked up.
Won't your mother killing Twitch on election night possibly throw a pall on the precinct?
Parker
no subject
Date: 2008-11-04 06:01 am (UTC)Hopefully voting. Assuming they're not convicted felons...
What my mother doesn't know won't hurt me.

Date: 2008-11-04 06:06 am (UTC)I can't see anyone slapping cuffs on Miho without getting a skull fracture. So I'd bet she's hitting the polls tomorrow.
As long as you don't leave any video evidence of what you were doing... I'm in another country and will be willing to bail you out of jail.
Again.

I'd vote, but it's 2023 here and I'm not even 4 years old yet in 2008. Pretty sure almost-4-year-olds aren't allowed to vote.
I promise I'll vote next year?

...stupid time travel.
Assume I didn't send this e-mail to you until next year. And replace 'McCain and Palin' with whatever fresh hell's on the ballot then. How's that?

Works for me. Also, I know it's irrelevant when it comes to my own reality, because, hi, happily legally married here, but you're also voting No on 8, right?

So hey, funny thing about time travel? Since it's not supposed to exist, it's not *technically* illegal to file a California absentee ballot from fifteen years in the future. The more you know.
Not that I know anyone who would do such a thing.

I CAN'T!!! I'M NOT EVEN A LEGAL RESIDENT OF THIS PLANET, LET ALONE THIS STATE! I'M IN CALIFORNIA AND I WANT TO VOTE BUT I CAN'T!!!
. . . yeah, I have fake ID, but do you think I wanna be the one who makes that voter fraud crap not be BS?
Help me, Zero. Those stupid yellow Yes on 8 signs are making me crazy. I'M BEING GOOD AND AM NOT SICCING MY BOYFRIEND'S FIREBALLS ON THEM EVEN THOUGH I WANT TO.
