I voted today in the primary.  I'm glad I did it.  Gives me that feeling of participation in the process.  But that's about all I get from it.  It isn't as if my liberal gay voice will be heard in this berg.

I realized something today.  I've decided that I really want my family and the family of my future partner or significant other to be close.  To get along more than just being polite to each other.  I really feel that's important.  I've had to overcome the obstacle of bad families, no families, or never even being introduced to a significant other's family... and I don't quite get it.  I mean, we're no Waltons or anything.  We're as flawed as any other American family.  But family drama is just not something I want to have to worry about with someone I date.  I guess I can't sit here and "choose" it, or maybe I can, but I don't want to sound like the douchebag.  Haha.  I want my family to embrace them (which, if you've ever met my family, is really easy to do.)  In the end... not a requirement I guess.  But high on the wish list.
