"Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too.
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind."
Jackson Browne - Running On Empty
From Grade 12, my last year of high school
I voted for the first time while I was in Grade 12. I had turned 18 two months before the election. Most of my friends hadn't turned 18 yet, so I felt pretty important, especially since I had been desperately wanting to vote since I was in grade 6 when I was 12 years old. I cannot imagine ever passing up the opportunity to vote. I'm very happy to say that I didn't vote for Pierre Trudeau in my first eligible campaign, even if half of Canada gave him a majority in that election.
