Don't Touch My Bags if You Please*...and VOTE!

[hsapiens]

It's off to the airport for me after work today! This is my final obnoxious "I'm so excited and it's going to be so much fun" post; hopefully to be followed in a week by obnoxious "that was even better than I'd hoped" posts. Consider yourselves warned and configure those filters appropriately. ;-)

I'll miss my f-list something fierce -- I think I'm addicted to y'all. I'm not going to quote Brokeback Mountain here re: quitting you, but it's only because I'm a bit hyper this morning and I know that's really annoying on a Monday.

SERIOUS BUSINESS for those in the U.S.: Please, please, please vote in the next election. Election Day is Tuesday, November 7. I will get home just in time to vote and probably will forget to exhort you to go vote.

I fail to understand this willingness to not vote that the majority of our country feels. Every election is crucial but this one could be about restoring checks and balances to our government. This is about saying no to torturing prisoners. This is about not being evil.

Hey, Frodo lost a finger to destroy the Ring; all you have to do is touch a screen -- and you get to keep the finger.

I know I have some non-liberals on my f-list (shocking!). I'm urging you to vote, too, though I'm obviously hoping my viewpoint prevails. Never, ever give up your right to vote. For so much of our history, having the temerity to show up and vote could get you arrested (women) or, worse, killed (minority men). Please don't throw away the opportunity that people died to secure for you.

*Wonder if I have any Arlo Guthrie on my iPod...

can't wait to see you on Friday. When are you showing up at the hotel?

Is Jalabert and her sister showing up with you?

ZOMG!

Have an incredible time, take lots of pictures, molest all tall, hazle-eyed, recently-fired, freshly off-Broadway'd men you might find wandering the street and call me when you get home so I can ply you with booze for all the details!

I hope you have a grand time. Be safe and come back with lots of details to share!

I'll be voting barring some unforeseen natural disaster or whatever. *g*

Have fun! :-)

Fortunately our little Miss Mish is safely in the NE by now, because when I heard that some plane had landed on the WRONG runway at Newark, I immediately checked where the plane was FROM.

Raise your hand if you thought the same thing! :D
