the mops?

dear jenny bean,

before i start, i would like to address an error made in your blog below. (i wouldn't want our readers to get the wrong information). in your valediction you said "the mops!" instead of "the mobs!"

i don't expect you to remember the specifics from our time in kirby junior high, so you are forgiven.

disclaimer 1: when i refer to 'our readers' above, i mean you and i, as we are probably the only people reading this silly thing.

disclaimer 2: also, i just realized i said "our time IN kirby junior high" instead of AT kirby junior high, speaking of the place as it was a prison. for this, i give no apologies.

in response to your comments on voting - i must say, there's something about voting that just makes me feel so political and adult. i love going to the polls, filling in that bubble and then watching it slide into that big contraption that counts them (i think). here, at least, voting is so archaic. all we did was draw a line between two arrows next to our candidates name. i guess that's something hard to mess up. when i voted in the last presidential election in glen carbon i think i punched holes next to the names, and when i voted in the last general election in st. louis it was all electronic touch screen voting. please, picture my mother trying to figure out THAT one... it was hilarious.

i think the reason we don't have a clear remembrance of the last presidential primary was because it was pretty well decided who was going to get the democratic ticket, well before the national convention. it's starting to appear that my boy barack has a good chance of getting the ticket - but i also think billary will fight it out until the end.

regardless, you know me - i'll be voting democratic no matter who gets the ticket, but i will cry a little inside if its hillary i'm voting for come november.

yours forever,

laura loo hoo
