Wow.

It so surreal. I am excited to see what the future holds for our country. I saw history made tonight, our first African American president elected! Honestly, its something I thought I would never see and I am so glad to be wrong. I think he was the best candidate and has the ability to bring some good to our country. I thought both senators' speeches tonight were good (O/T: Have you seen the woman Obama mentioned in his speech? She looks AMAZING for being 106). I think they both love our country. But I must say this is way better than last election. 

However, among all the cheering tonight at the Cage, I must admit I was wondering about Proposal 8 in CA and the other various states that were voting on marriage amendments. It looks now that Proposal 8 will be defeated but only narrowly. Its not looking too good in the other states. While I am super happy for our new president-elect, I am really disappointed that people out there are so threatened by other people wanting to be with the one they love. I don't find it to be that difficult of a situation, its rather simple. All you need is love.

Oh, man. I still can't believe. Obama WON! The Democrats control the House and the Senate. It just all seems so unreal, so amazing. Here's to a productive, successful next FOUR YEARS!

ETA: I went to bed really excited to know that the election results wouldn't change. But I shouldn't have. Prop 8 is going to pass. AZ and FL passed theirs. wtf, America, wtf.

Guys! 

The coolest thing happened today at work. I always make a point to tell anyone wearing an Obama shirt that I like it. Today, a lady came in with her toddler wearing an Obama '08 shirt. When I told her I liked it, she took it off* and gave it to me, which is really cool because I've been wanting one. I just didn't want to contribute to a campaign to get one. She said she had a bunch at home and that she had told her daughter this morning if anyone told her they liked it, she would give it to them.

Somedays people are so freaking rude but other days they are perfectly awesome.

*: Yes, she was wearing another shirt underneath.

3 Things:

1. Last night when I returned home before I went to bowling, I happened upon a photo shoot right outside my front door. There was a girl dressed in flesh colored bikini with a belt made of bells besides a roaring fire in the fire pit. There was a photographer and his assistant taking pictures and adjusting lights. It was beyond bizarre.
2. I ate at Boston Market for the first time tonight. It was GOOD! I had sweet potatoes with marshmallows and brown sugar and vegetable stuffing, and 3 cheese mac n cheese, yummmm. Eating at Boston Market has always been a lifelong goal so its one more thing off of the list.
3. Do you guys have any advice at how to get people to NOT touch you? I find that I get touched a lot at work. Its not as bad as back stage at play but I'd really rather not let it get to that point.  

ETA:

In honor of the debate tonight, I voted. I wont say who I voted for but I think he is a WINNER!

P.S. Some day I really hope to say SHE is a WINNER! some day, soon.

I got this from 2 Political Junkies who got it from youngwilhem. I love Zoolander and this cracks me up. Its supposed to be what happened when Gov. Palin was announced as the VP candidate. But I prefer to think this happens all the time and these Dems just cruise the neighborhood looking for a walk off.

So McCain picked Palin. At first, I was like no WTF? omg! what is happening???? She is definitely not Pawlenty and CNN told me that was who he was going to pick and LIES! 

And then I was like ohhhh a woman, YAAYYYY!!!!! a female. I am woman, hear me roar!!!!!!!

And then I thought about everything I knew about Palin: Republican, governor of Alaska, first term, just had her 5th baby earlier this year, children have interesting names-Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper, Trig, fishes. So I looked for some more information and it seems like she has less experience than Obama which is interesting because hasn't McCain been making Barack's inexperience part of his reasons why he should not be elected?? The more I researched the more it seemed that Palin was only picked because she was a girl. 

I guess I feel like the Republican party is just trying to appeal to the Clinton supporters who haven't embraced Obama. I feel its insulting because Clinton is drastically different than Palin. I'm not saying one is better than another or anything. But shouldn't they put more thought into who is going to be our next VP? The whole thing just feels like a ploy. McCain, if he wins, will be 72 and the oldest person to be sworn in as President. Apparently, he's had some scares with skin cancer so it is a possibility that he could die in office, which would leave us with someone who has little experience. In the end, I feel like Palin is being set up to fail or be mocked or slammed in the possibility that the Democrats win the race. And I don't like that.

This is for Toi and Frances. Tonight, I learned that they are in awe of this woman: Elizabeth Kucinich. She's a British citizen who married a Congressman who is 31 years older than her. He tried to run for President but got smacked down. She has her tongue pierced and one of her heroes is Princess Diana. She sounds fascinating.
