riverdressesJust . . . I had so much to say tonight, but really, what is there left to say?
YES WE CAN. & YES WE DID.
I cried tonight, folks, out of sheer fucking happiness. AT LEAST TWICE.
I'm actually proud of this country for the first time in eight years. WE ARE DOING IT RIGHT.

Date: 2008-11-05 06:30 am (UTC)& I'm still holding out hope on a no vote for Prop 8 - it's so close & the news hasn't said all the ballots have been counted yet - I AM DEFINITELY HOLDING ON.

Date: 2008-11-05 07:09 am (UTC)This whole day has just been freaking LEGENDARY, in every sense of the word. This morning, after I voted, I walked down the practically empty streets & I felt like I was literally walking on clouds - I was just so exhilarated & thrilled to have been able to DO something that actually has an impact on this century's history.
Just . . . o, Jess. I wish we could bottle this day for everyone else to see, thousands of years in the future when they need a little hope in their own time.
We are indomitable. Indomitable.

Date: 2008-11-05 12:22 pm (UTC)I cried when the first customer came in and said "We have a new president!" I mean, we would have had a new president anyway, but IT'S THE RIGHT ONE.
I cried when my friends showed up to squee and hug.
I cried more when they brought in the newspapers at 5am. I squee'd and teared a bit everytime someone came in, bought three and said "One to read, one to keep, and one to give my kids."
It's a wonderful day to be an American.

But the election is over, the people have had their say, so we just have to see how things will unfold. Tomorrow is a new day.
Sorry if I've rained on anyone's parade by not being overly cheery
