i just voted. woohoo! leaving the polling place, i was filled with a sense of wonderful contentment, having finally successfully accomplished something i'd been planning on doing for - what? 20 months now? not since the first time i voted have a been this excited about voting, and really, i'm probably more excited this time. yes, much of that excitement is about the candidate, who is historic and transformative in all the ways that we already know about, but i think just as much, i'm excited to be a part of something that has gotten so many other people excited, too. so let's all hope for accurate results, short lines (but lots of voters), and a sea change in american politics.
on another note, RIP, aurelinoleum's blog. i'll miss your little bit of poetry in my inbox every so often.
if there's anyone out there in maryland who hasn't voted...vote NO on slots!
