Democracy? LOL J/K.

Today was voting day, as most humans in the country will be well aware of. I merrily skipped to my first opportunity to vote, where I voted Green as I decided a couple of days ago. It got me thinking though that my vote will literally count for nothing, as there is no chance of Inverness voting Green, and it is on seats that the general parliament is decided. I hate this system with a passion, as it means a party doesn't need to generate appeal and please the worries of a nation, it needs to strategically target certain seats with tricks and games. I assume that it will be either Gordon Brown or David Cameron in power in the next couple of hours; either way it is a horrible outcome.

Work today would have been largely uneventful, with very few customers for the whole day. Excitement was had but not in a good way, as it came from a junkie sprinting off with a small TV. This lead to the next hour or so being taken up with giving police statements and such. The high point of the day was the appearance of an incredibly pretty girl with a faulty laptop. I dealt with the problem and created a moderate level of banter with her but due to being an insufferable little bitch I didn't ask her number. Later on in the day I became really annoyed with myself for this but I have taken the age-old advice to "man up" and move on.

I got home to the Alternative Election Night on C4 which was very good but I have now given up as I'm shattered, have to get up relatively early tomorrow, and got really annoyed at a semi-serious debate lead by David Mitchell in which a woman wouldn't stop winging about "blacks and minorities", suggesting that they're still treated as inferior in every aspect of everyday life. I'm not even going to go into that, but suffice to say that she really riled me up, and the brief shot of the ginger guy looking like "oh god here she goes again" did cheer me up a bit, along with the second's awkward silence broken by someone pretending she never spoke which followed each of her rants.

It's been a decent if somewhat unimportant day. The biggest event beyond the token action of voting for the first time would be this morning's decision that this Summer must be taken advantage of fully; I plan on doing as much as I possibly can to get out, see things and have a good time.
