We had to leave early, cause my parents had to work. So, around 6:30..off we went..a couple blocks down the street! There were probably 25-35 people ahead of us! We stood in line for 20 minutes or so until they finally opened the doors. But when we got to the doors...I was very disappointed....sigh...there were no curtain's...I always thought about the first time I would vote for a president..and I would walk into the lil cubical..and slide the curtian to close it. But no...there were no curtians! =[ ohh well..I lived.
So anyway...we were finally able to vote..they gave me the ballot and I was ready. I found myself a lil table thing...and was ready to color in the first oval...but no...the pen didnt work...I dont know how the guy ahead of me did his. So after getting someones attention and finally getting a new pen, I was ready to get to work! :)
As I was working on not making any mistakes..I over heard this lil boy with his parents...he was with his dad and said, "who are you voting for daddy...ohh, for O..." his dad interupted his telling him to be quiet. Then, he decided to go to his mom and said,"Are your voting for McCain?" and the mom told him also to be quiet cause some people like it to be kept a secret, but she didn't care. I finished the same time they did, I was walking behind them and the lil boy was just looking at me the whole way...so I smiled then he said,"your pretty." haha...it was quite interesting. *awkward turtle* :]
As we got the to machine thing that takes your ballot, the guy there[who I knew..cause a lot of people with ntm work there during the elections] said, "This is your first time voting, right?" So I told him yes...then he asked me if I wanted him to announce it to everyone. I said,"uh, well, ummm...." And he yelled out,"First time voter!" I raised my arms as if I won a race..but then everyone started cheering and clapping...so I put my arms down and walked away humiliated! :)
Thats my story..sorry..its quite long...
Theres the place!
So..this one car stopped..and I saw this person getting out..but all i could really see were the Obama signs. I laughed and made a few lil jokes about it..then..when she got out enough..and i could see her face...i was shocked..cause I knew her..hehe..she used to go to the curves down the street, where I used to work!
Also..after I voted...there were people down the street that were jumping up and down holding Obama signs...as we walked pass...I was so tempted to say,"Ohh...to late...I already voted..to bad I didn't see you earlier..cause that would of made me change my vote." hehe..do they seriously think that is going to change someones vote? I am sure..if they are going to vote..they would come ready and prepared..and not coming having no clue who they are going to vote for!
And there is my "I Voted" sticker! :)

Yay, Megan...your first voting experience was much more exciting than mine:) That's great you saw someone from Curves:) Also, that you got a "First Voter Recognition"!! Plus, the little boy story, that's great Megan! Your last pic is good, too!(your vote though did not get wasted, even if who you voted for did not win, it's great you voted!!!)
