1 hour 15 minutes...

is how long it took me to vote! augh! i painfully waited and voted which took all of 3 minutes. the voting took place behind my backyard at my elementary school. nostalgia hit me while i waited in the multi-purpose room. i thought of the times i spent in there playing, performing, making crafts, participating in the science fair, and sitting on the nasty floor for assemblies and plays. :P
next time i am absolutely going to do absentee voting!

so it turns out the nasty looking bites on my dad's body is a result of shingles (he was susceptible because he didn't have chicken pox.) my poor pops. he was supposed to go to a conference in seattle yesterday but canceled out because of his poor health. :( man, those bites are so weird. it looks like when termites gnaw on a piece of wood-all squiggly 'n stuff. there's even a "u" shape! he leaves in a few days back to kauai. please pray for my dad for a speedy recovery.
