Rocks in Shoes

I'm feeling pretty torn about the election. Whilst I've made my ultimate decision to vote Lib Dem, I feel like I'm watching Barack Obama in the primaries again, after Nick Clegg's triumph in the debate last night. He has so much promise, and so does the party. But realistically, no one can be bothered to vote for them. I suppose it's the ever-sad fact about a third party - they are just that, and therefore they are deemed irrelevant. Maybe if they had longer than 3 weeks to try and make some headway, they'd have more of a chance. In the same way that many people in this country need to be convinced that they should vote, many people need to realise that it doesn't always have to be Labour or Conservative.

We need the Lib Dems for electoral reform. My vote for them won't count, because I live in a staunchly Tory area. This is definitely one of my bitterest feelings about how the election will turn out, because we need reform, and no one will be willing to bring that about so completely as the Lib Dems.

In other news, times are changing, and I'm now waiting on a phone call. I have reason to be optimistic, but not so optimistic that I could end up seriously disappointed.

Last week I felt guilty at the prospect of leaving, and now, I just don't. I'm glad the discontent kicked in about the right time, I was starting to feel complacent.

A spider started making a web in one of my shoes.

I'm really tired.

I used to have so much to say all the time, and now it's just stopped. Strange.
