enamoured | walking a fine line

I just got done adding smart alecky comments to my icons. Who thought of adding that? They are officially cool.

I'm starting to seriously tire of any and all political talk. I want to be involved, I want to be informed, and I understand the importance of it. But it's just taking a toll on me. It's important but it's also reminding me of why I don't talk about or like politics very much. It does things to people. It makes people turn against you simply because of what you believe. I don't even talk about it much with my own family, because my mom and I have differing beliefs than my dad. And my dad keeps asking me about who I'm going to vote for, and I don't tell him because I know where he stands and he'll give me this big lecture about it. I don't want my perception of my dad to be damaged because we believe different things.

I want to declare my house a politics-free zone. I can't find a way to. It's too much on the forefront of all of our minds. The only one not thinking about it is my brother, who can't vote. I want to declare my journal a politics-free zone. It pretty much is. I haven't said anything about who I prefer because I don't want to create drama. I prefer to have a drama and conflict-free life.

This is about as effective as stapling Jello to a tree. I give up.
