So the first time I got to say it ...

... was last night after eleven o'clock break. A co-worker called his roommate and confirmed it, and I went inside and called Jess in the section she was working.

Me: Have you checked the electoral vote totals lately?
Jess: No, how's it going?
Me: President-elect Barack Obama.
Jess: YES!
ME: SECONDED.

As thrilled as I am that for once my guy won, the things that make me happiest about this win so far have been:

1. The thought of Michelle Obama as First Lady.
2. The sight of the Reverend Jesse Jackson silently crying over this moment in history.
3. That Malia and Sasha are getting a puppy!

Random stuff

-- Oh, my God, you guys. The VP-elect is originally from Scranton. HA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ahem. (Not like I didn't know that about Biden already but STILL.)

-- I ran down to the library to pick up Breaking Dawn. Oh, hell, now I'm actually going to have to read it.

-- Still haven't restarted my NaNo. My messy apartment is just too much of a distraction, so I'm going to spend the next couple of hours before work straightening up. (What gives me hope that I can make a major dent in my NaNo when I get a day off again are those people who already have 40,000 words. Like, seriously? Fuck, I wrote ten thousand words on Thanksgiving the year I won. I can TOTES do that on a four-day weekend. \o/)

-- I've been trying to look for a bright spot in Prop 8 passing (God, anything) and it's the fact that it was not the sweeping landslide it could have been in. It cut it really close, considering. Yes, it still passed, but it's the sliver of the population in difference that's the bright spot, because if there's any state that may be blue enough to overcome it eventually, it would be California. This is what the civil rights movement is. It's hard and it sucks and there's back steps and stumbles. And then one day a black man becomes the President-elect.

Due to the presidential race turning out the way it did, I'm hopeful. You be hopeful, too.

-- Speaking of, I really wish I hadn't been at work last night. Those people sure do know how to harsh a bitch's squee, I swear to God. *sigh*

-- 9 Innocent Google Searches That Get Porn On The First Page. NSFW, obvs.

-- Due to my working every day of overtime they will give me I may be able to get one of my teeth fixed in the next two weeks. I'm going to talk to the dentist and see. I'm pretty sure he'll shoot down doing the other two teeth by themselves since they're right next to one another, but I'll have to see. Doing each of them individually is probably my best bet.

Pundit Kitchen made me cry.

( Cut for political LOL for those who wish to avoid such things now that the election is over. )

I can't tag my Obama posts "philf" anymore. Therefore, new tag. \o/
