Strange, I don't feel euphoria as much as I feel relief.
Instead of partying, I just want to sit back and go "whew!"

It's been a long 8 years.

Maybe by the inauguration this will sink in and I can celebrate, but right now I feel like I just stumbled out of the jungle after being lost for eight years. Hungry, tired, sore, worn out.

7. i feel both
there is a touch of euphoria. i went to sleep two hours ago because i was driving myself apeshit pushing refresh on the electoral map and when i woke up john mccain was about to concede. i had to call my friend Carla in CA - her 86-year-old mother was in tears.

now i want to put this fire toward ending the wars. but i am happy tonight.

WE WON!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

9. I was just saying the same thing to my husband.
I'm so relieved that the bastards are getting kicked to the curb and there will be no threat of a Palin presidency.

16. Me too. I have been anxious and tense and not sleeping well
always with the thought of waiting for the election.
Usually I am pretty mellow.
Now I feel i need a long cleansing cry.

got a stack of cds that will do the trick.

Until then, let me sign off with a huge hug to all for being here to share this incredible chapter in history.:grouphug:
