I voted! yeah me. I had to drive all the way to lawton and wait in line forever, but it was worth it. I can't wait to find out what happens. I hope everyone else got their asses out there and tried to make a difference.
I feel like ass today. I really want to confront one of my guy friends that I got into a fight with on friday. He has been calling me, but I just don't know what to say. I'm used to keeping my feelings in and just trying to roll with it, but on this I know I can't. Its not so much what he said (coming from anyone else, I would have blown it off), but he is supposed to be my friend and he was just harsh. Whats stupid is the situation involves him and he's acting like I'm and asshole and he is somehow above everything. I just want a break or maybe to never be friends b/c my friends should have my back and he definitely doesn't. I wish I knew the right answer. Since I keep my feelings bottled up, I have a tendency to explode and I don't want to do that. It makes me feel too out of control. If anyone has any suggestions on friend confrontation let me know. I will update when I hear from him again.
UPDATE: Ok, I talked to my friend, but I don't really feel better. He apologized and said he was drunk and he didn't mean it, but he obviously thinks of these things. Maybe he is just immature on certain levels. I hate when people give excuses. Whats the point? Its like a backhanded complement. Never say Im sorry but.... It defeats the point. Just say your sorry. The whole situation is just messed up to begin with. I care about him, but I just don't think its worth it. Im stressed enough

I did the research on judges by typing their names, the state and judge into google. Then a bunch of hews articles and personal pages came up. I based my decisions on the decisions they made that made news. I also found a political affiliations listing page which had all of them lined up by conservative, liberal moderate etc, so unless they did something I found very cool, like standing up to the Catholic Church I voted no for all of the people who leaned too far left or right. Judges need to sit in the middle.
Anyway that was about all I could do, it was very time consuming. Towards the evening I got a housemate to help me out and then we shared the same sample ballot when we went to the polls since we share research and the same opinions on all of the candidates and issues. I could not have gone to the polls without my already filled out sample ballot. I must have voted on 150 people and things.
