Unpopular Opinion Thursday

Is it already Thursday? Wow.

I am so very unhappy with voter turnout on Tuesday. More than likely, the people that will complain will be the ones that (gasp!) did not vote. I feel so strongly towards voting that if you did not vote then you should not even discuss political matters with me.

I voted, even though I kind of knew I was just throwing my uber-liberal vote away here in OK for precisely this reason.

My UO- I REALLY don't want to go to this conference tomorrow. I don't HAVE to go, but it'd look good to be seen there. The UO part is why I don't want to go: 1., I don't sit still well and have the attention span of a knat, so conferences bore me to death, 2., I work from home on Fridays, so I usually sleep until noon or 1 (I know, I know!) then do my research in the afternoons. I'm being whiney about getting up at 8am just to pay a $60 conference registration fee for a conference I don't even want to go to. [stomps foot like a petulant 3 year old!]

I feel the same way about voting. H didn't vote - he never votes - and it's a little irritating. I'm trying to change his ways about voting and make him see the importance of it.

I don't really have a UO today, except that I've already started listening to Christmas music [in moderation]. I know a lot of people don't get into the Christmas swing of things until closer to - or after - Thanksgiving, but...yeah.

I'm already getting into the Christmas spirit as well. I've had Christmas songs in my head this week and I'm ready to go shopping and get it all done. Last year I didn't have any excitment about Christmas but this year it feels different.

I am also attending a conference tomorrow. Wonder if it's the same? Probably not, mine is pretty specific to my field. I'm excited because my commute will be cut by about 75%.

Apparently the sociologists and librarians get together on the same days (though not at the same conference, sadly---it would have been much more fun if they did!)
