... or "How Not To Vote"
I walked into the silly little gymnasium, and saw all the busy, eager beavers doing their electoral thing. After the necessary paper work ("Wait Here", "Don't talk to him" and "I can't help you go talk to him") I got my ballot. As I was walking to the silly, cardboard voting booth I saw one of the Conservative scrutinizers. Something snapped.
"I think you're evil," just slipped from my lips and into the air. I didn't say it loudly, but really felt the need to express myself at that particular moment.
Well... She didn't like that. Nope, her overly sun tanned body, perfect hair, manicured nails, and pompous faux-British accent had a minor hissy. She called one of the Electoral Busy Bodies over.
After some fast talking (a brief conspiracy theory: magenta hair + voting = vote not for a conservative) I convinced him that she was mistaken and cast my ballot.
Five minutes later I couldn't remember which candidate I chose. Ah well. All's well that ends in a pseudo-leftist minority government. Hooray for the tyranny of the masses and all that.
I came home and finished up some of the design for a new negativespace.net page. What do you think?

cool idea for the main page.

Please, please, please, please, please don't have that green banner there. Pick another colour. Please.

That jerk in the gymnasium deserved exactly what she got.
All the people in the gymnasium I went to were very nice. Most of them were old, and looked thrilled to even see me there. The woman running my table beamed at me and said, "Thanks for voting!"

What a bimbo. Nice work on dealing with it though. She probably stomped away with outrage and injustice on her narrow mind.
I like the new mainpage! Much better layout. I wonder if you wouldn't mind keeping the direct links to the blogs on the new main page. I generally only set blogs as "default" when I have something that I think the masses would be interested in, and thus only about half (or maybe less) of my blogs make it onto the front page. So if someone's really curious about what's going on, it's best to hit my main page every so often.
