I'm sick. I think I've had a cold since Thursday, but it still is lame. And then yesterday I was super annoyed with idiot people and got really tired.

I got home today at 3:30 and went to bed. I woke up at 5:30. I can't believe I slept two hours; I didn't even hear my family leave to go to my grandma's house. And while the sleep felt good, I felt gross when I woke up. I think something I ate didn't like me.

Ohmygosh, weird story. So this morning my mom is like "I volunteered you to call people who have a history of not voting" and I'm like "WHAT?!" Recently my mom has been all political. I think she has been eaten by the Republican party. She went to a thing a few years ago and gave her e-mail and since she actually reads her e-mail now, she has been reading all this Republican stuff.

It's gotten really bad. She sent a family friend a postcard about a Republican candidate. I was like "If you really want her to vote for someone, why don't you talk to her instead of sending her an impersonal, pre-written advertisement?" And she replied with "It's just a letter."

And so anyway. I was like "WHAT?!" because I knew she had heard about this from the Republican party.

Mom: It's community service!
Me: Not if it's not on the school list!
Mom: It's good to encourage people to vote.

That's true. But

1. I can't even vote myself.
2. I don't know these people. They aren't going to like being preached at about voting by some random teenager.
3. Where did they get this list of registered voters who don't vote? Isn't this like, invasion of privacy?
4. I don't like talking on the phone.
5. I'm not getting paid.

So. That's my life at the moment.
