Heh, no, it's totally fine with me if you want to rant. I'm sorry that you have to deal with that. My parents aren't religious and have never made me go to church (thankfully), but they do believe in some sort of higher power and possibly some other religious stuff (I've never really discussed it with them), and I'm an atheist which I don't really want to bring up with them. I don't really know how they'd react, and it wouldn't be that extreme, but I'm still worried about what they'd think. So I just avoid the issue entirely.
I'm really lucky that both my parents are Democrats though. I think my dad is still a little skeptical of Obama (he voted for Hilary in the primary. Then again, so did my mom and I. But we came around to Obama much sooner, I think), but there's no way in hell he'd ever vote for the Republicans. He's just not quite as enthusiastic about Obama and my mother and I are. I just really don't understand how anyone could go for the Republicans after the last 8 years. It was bad enough that Bush was re-elected, but to go for the Republican party a third time and expect a different result is just foolish. Unless, I guess, you actually think the country has been going in the right direction the past 8 years.
Oh, I totally know what you mean. I really wanted to decorate my room when I knew I was going to get a single, but I don't have many posters (well, I have a bunch of posters from when I was like 13 and in love with these few bands, but I'm not anymore, so I don't really want to plaster my walls with them) and I didn't really want to spend hundreds of dollars trying to decorate my room. When I found the sale at allposters.com (posters from $4.98!), I was so excited. That sale might actually still be going on, but I'm not sure. But yeah, and the poster sale they have at school is usually super cheap, so I'm hoping to get a bunch of stuff there.
