'Mer-ca, heck yea

Yesterday was Halloween.  It was also the last day of our school's anti-drug red ribbon week campaign.  The dress theme for the day was "Put a cap on drugs," and everyone was encouraged to wear a hat.  I wore my fedora.  And some glasses.  I also wore a white button down shirt with black pants.  Oh, and I had the shirt unbuttoned all day.

No worries, though.  I had another shirt underneath.  It was, of course, this shirt:

So, I spent the day as a Clark Kent in mid-transformation.  After school, I went out and had a few beers with my sweetie just before we voted.  He told me early on in our relationship that he wasn't much for voting in off-year elections.  I was determined to change that behavior.  He felt he was not generally well informed enough in non-presidential election years, but I found a nice website for him to use (and I used it, too) where you could compare your ideology with those of the candidates running for office on the ballot in your precinct.  None of my results surprised me, but it was very helpful for Cas in his effort to be a more informed voter.

We went to an early voting polling place and participated in some democracy.  It was super easy, and it takes away the pressure on Tuesday of getting to the polls before or after school.  Hooray for early voting!

Today, I have to don my Greek Goddess dress and go to a party at Cas' brother's house.  My date will be in a toga.  After that, I'm afraid I have to dress like a regular person for a while.  A week from today, though, Cas and I are going out to a fancy dinner.  I suppose I can be a fancier version of my normal self for that evening.  We're going out to celebrate six months together, a milestone we will hit a week from tomorrow.  It's kind of hard for both of us to believe we've been dating for that long.

I am pretty sure if six more months were on the ballot, we would both vote yes.
