I voted!

I was a little nervous voting today, since it was first time and I somehow thought it was going to be really complicated....haha....you know I like to make everything complicated. But it was very similar to going to the ATM....insert card, touch screen...take card out....done. Except I didn't get any money out...

Funny moments from my experience:

There was a box of clipboard w/ the voter forms in them at the end of the line. My clipboard didn't have a pen on it, so i pulled my own out to fill out the form. When the guy came down the line to take the clipboards back from people he asked for the pen back. I said "Oh, there wasn't one so I just used my own" And he said "Ok, just let me check that out." I was thinking, wtf? So I whipped the pen out to prove it...until I realized he was reaching for my form....he just wanted to make sure everything was filled out. I felt so dumb but I don't think he noticed...but the man behind me in line thought it was HILARIOUS, b/c he saw me whip the pen out! He even gave me little slap on the back as he laughed, like we were old friends!

The girl behind THAT man then looked at me and said "This is my first time voting, it's fairly easy isn't it?" I was like "Yeah!" even though I had no idea....

The girl behind HER then got on the phone with her dad for some chit-chat. She apparently works for a plastic surgeon and was telling him that their first patient yesterday had been there for a "Breast Aug"....I guess her dad didn't know what that was, so she repeated it a couple times, then had to cup her hand over the phone and whisper 'breast augmentation!" I almost died....

One of the ladies working to check peoples' registrations on the computer got mad that so many people were being let in at once and yelled "Don't send no more in here! We got no room! Don't send no more!" I had to catch the words "Don't send ANY more" before they popped out of my mouth....I'm sure she wasn't in the mood to have her grammar corrected.

Oh, and I think somebody made a love connection in line. They realized that they lived on the same street and homegirl was ALL over him after that...the guy behind them was encouraging it, and it was hysterical. Except that lady with bad grammar got mad that they weren't paying attention to the line moving and scolded them.

So it was a good experience. And funny.
