Ah, more frost, only this time on my windshield - I had best be getting a new ice scraper or I am going to be pretty late for work these days.

Yesterday was election day for one-half of the seats of government. I didn't really pay attention. I should, but I don't. I know that I should pay attention to these things so much, that just the fact that I don't pay attention makes me want to stop writing out of shame. But I won't stop writing, and I will tell you this: Kansas has elected a democratic governor. So maybe instead of all of our education money going into funding road construction and manufacturing, the money will stay in education. I just hope she doesn't turn out to be a big pussy like that Ben Nelson clown. But fear not, I may be an ignorant fool, but I am not a voting ignorant fool. My roommate says that if you don't know, then you should just vote for whomever your parents/family/friends are voting for - I say that is nuts, you shoudl leave the voting up to the informed public. Maybe that isn't as democratic, but at least it is elitism for a logical reason

Also yesterday was my big, fat, twenty-second birthday anniversary. I don't know what this means. I have been trying to downplay my birthday for a couple years now, trying not to think about it or get too excited about it. I'm not sure why - I just feel weird claiming attention for an entire day. But I would like to thank everyone who called me to wish me a "happy birthday" because it still means a lot to hear from you. And I'd like to double thank those of you who gave me presents, because you just can't beat 'Crazy-Daisies.' And I'd like to triple thank those of you who gave birth to me twenty-two years ago - that was just downright swell of you.

But now is just another day. And I'm pretty happy to be alive.
