busyI am reasonably sure that each and every person on that ballot wants to win. I am no different. But almost as much as I want to win, I want to know that if I lose, it will be because every possible voter looked at the works up for consideration, looked at their ballot, and made their choice fairly and well. I want you all to vote. I want to lose because I lost, not because there was a sale at Ben and Jerry's and we all got rightfully distracted because dude, ice cream.
Please. If you are eligible to vote, it has never been easier to get a clear view of the entire ballot. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Hugo committee, we have an electronic voting package that is a bibliophile's dream; you can read and consider absolutely everything that's asking for your vote. And if you're not a member yet, but were thinking about it, you can still register with full voting rights if you do it soon.
Make this year's Hugo winners the ones you think deserve those shiny rocket ships.
Vote.

I was trying to be politic, because it's not her fault. But these books got over-sold to me by a housemate so hard that I HATE THEM. I wish I didn't, I want to read and enjoy them, and right now? I HATE THEM. So forcing myself to read one won't do anything to make me a more informed voter, it'll just make me angry and slow any chance of my eventually reading and enjoying the series.

...and honestly, I'm not positive you'd like them. :P
