Doesn't it feel like Christmas Eve?

[Duer 157099]

It's been too long since I've felt this way -- well, I did feel it briefly in 2004 and then again in 2006, but this time it feels like the real deal.

I'd be happy not even having another Christmas in December, this one is plenty enough for me this year.

Uh oh, maybe this is a bad comparison. I wasn't meaning to imply anything messianic about Obama, not at all - in fact it perplexes me when I keep hearing stuff like that.

I just mean the kid-on-Christmas-morning-feeling.

1. Me.

It's better than Christmas. (I'm not a Christian so it's okay for me to say that.)

2. I know. he he he

I've listened to Obama's speech for about the 100th time tonight. Damn. It still makes me tear up.

3. It feels more like Thanksgiving to me

:applause:

4. Not for GLBT folk.

At least, not entirely.

7. Yeah, I know, that is the one big nagging kink in the works

dammit, I can't believe Californians fell for this bullshit. I'm shocked, really; I thought it was going to be a no contest.

5. I feel as if I have drifted onto the shore

dragged myself thru the surf, onto the beach

Coughed up the water, spit it out, onto the sand

Stood up and walked

Right into the trees

Not knowing what was there

But knowing, nonetheless...

That wherever I was headed

Was a Hell of a lot better

Than where I had been.


Anyway, that's my take on it.

6. No, it feels just like second grade all over again

All the cool kids are running around having fun, and I'm getting punched in the stomach by kids who hate me for who I am.

My anger is competing with my exhaustion at this point. How DARE my equality be arbitrarily voted away.

8. I hear you.

I'm sorry and ashamed of my state.

9. Hi Dot! I know exactly how you feel!

We're feeling that same way here tonight. :) We've been celebrating for hours now.

Also know what you mean about being ashamed of our state. I'm more than ashamed. I'm pissed! My only consolation is that my county voted the right way.

10. Dunno, I had the night off.

So, I am not slinging drinks for people trying to escape their families. :)

Ask me when I get off tomorrow night. I think I am gonna create a new Obama drink. Suggestions?
