Voting was very… uneventful. I expected coffee, muffins and candy. I expected an “I Voted Today” sticker. I expected a mass riot in the parking lot or voting room.
I got none of the above.
All I got was a bubble-in-the-President card and stares from old people pitying the poor confused young person voting for the first time. Luckily the machine did not eat my card and I managed to get out of there before someone could throw a chair.
The only good part about the event was the lady holding the Obama sign, alias Obama Sign Lady. When we passed her as we left I gave her the thumbs up and she did a little dance!
Well, at least I exercised my freedom tonight. I still want my damn sticker, though.
–ELIZABETH is handed a big, fattie “DIFFERENCE MAKER” sticker–
@Ted: Hahaha, thanks. Turns out Starbucks was giving free coffee yesterday to everyone who voted, sticker or no. Sigh.
You can have one of my stickers! I still have mine from the primaries, and the one from last night. <3
@Nikki: Aww, you’re the bestest.
