Okay, so just another political beef. I am getting so annoyed at pundits saying McCain chose Palin to get Hillary supporters. That’s just plain stupid. I wonder if they’re saying that just to make sure to turn off any stupid Hillary supporters. Palin was chosen to solidify the base. I, for one, had been praying McCain would choose Palin. I didn’t think that would make me vote for the ticket, but I might. I just might. Three major issues (which I won’t name) seem a bit fishy with this ticket, and I’d like to see them talk more.

I don’t see myself voting for Obama, and I think Palin did a good job tonight of naming some of the reasons. I’ve always liked Obama. I like his charm, his oratory skill, and I have to admit I like that liking him makes me feel less racist. But most of his positions are ridiculous, and the ones I like, I think he’s dreaming if he thinks he’s going to enact him.

I don’t want to come off as ungrateful or anything, and I think everyone knows how thrilled I am to finally be living near my family again, but there are some things that make me really miss Louisiana right now. First of all, my family is completely awesome and I’m so glad we can depend on their generosity and hospitality right now while we’re saving up for a house, but I really miss our home in Louisiana (yes, even with all the problems it had — it was our first home together, and I miss it). Also, my friend Hollie is going to have another baby and it makes me very sad that I won’t get to witness the pregnancy and see her baby as a newborn in person. Wah. Lastly, Matt is getting married in a few days and I’m going to miss the wedding. I think that’s what’s making me the saddest. And it would have been really fun to be “couple friends” with Matt & Megan. So those are my little complaints. Those are what I’m missing out on right now. I have a lot more things to be happy about, and I should focus on those things.
