Dedication: LynnyLiz, who reminded me of the election day in America, and started off another of my random thought tracks… Thanks!


The election came and went. Truthfully, I had no idea who was even running. I didn't care.

I didn't vote.

Even though I was now a legal adult, and allowed to vote, I didn't bother. I hated thinking about my last birthday. (Ignore. Ignore. Don't think about it.) And so I avoided all 'privileges' that came from that.

I didn't really care, anyway. What difference would it make to me if some guy was elected, and went to live far away in a large, white house? It meant nothing to me. I honestly could not have cared less. They could have elected a monkey as president and I would not have noticed.

When I heard the results, a few days afterwards, they meant nothing. I didn't care who 'Obama' or 'McCain' were. I suppose that this guy was the first non-white president of the US should have interested me, but I found that I didn't care.

Although the truth was, I didn't care about anything any more.
