Created with Rum and Monkey's Personality Test Generator.

You are brilliant and have no qualms about letting the world know it. Everyone thinks you are a total twat! You have no fashion sense and always look as if you got dressed in the dark closet of a street clown. You have no real friends to speak of; only a couple of people who tolerate you. You enjoy fishing and have no patience for other people. You will end up on trial for some dubious offence. You will then dissapear and slowly begin to swell.

Rant about elections

I hate election season. 

HATE HATE HATE. 

I hate that the election starts at least 18 months before ballots are drawn.

I hate how much money is wasted buying people's votes through ads or fundraisers or campaign stops. 

I hate that in this country we spend more electing a president than some countries GDP. 

I hate the way people talk about the candidate they dislike or who is against their personal beliefs. 

I hate the way some people seem to judge you based on who you do or do not vote for. 

I hate that religion is an issue in politics: "go to church but not too much, but make sure you go to church, but don't go to a temple or mosque and GOD FORBID talk about your faith other than to acknowledge you have it."

That said, I'll still vote tomorrow. 

The older I get the more uneasy I become about how I vote. When I was young, I was so sure I was voting for the right person. That certainty has faded over the years to the point where I get a creepy-crawly feeling no matter who I vote for.
