Blatherings of an Extroverted Bookworm

Go check out Palin as President. The site has been updated. Before it gave me good lulz. Now it has me crying all over again.

God Bless our President-Elect Barack Obama. I do not expect him to be a perfect president, but I believe strongly that he is the right man at the right time. I believe he will accomplish great things for this nation of ours. I have hope for this country in a way that I have not had in many years. I cannot put into words the the feeling that I have, that my baby will be born into a time where our country will hopefully be planting the seeds for a better tomorrow. I've been so vitriolic against McCain/Palin because the thought of my child coming into this world with those divisive warmongering assholes in charge was making me sick to my stomach. I was losing sleep over that shit. I'm sure there are many who would think me an optimistic fool. I don't give a flying fuck. I am filled with hope, and it is a beautiful thing.

I am so incredibly HAPPY. I've cried like three times. Thank you!!!

I didn't get to sleep until about 6am. I was polishing the cedar chest at 5am. I was alternating cleaning and watching "The Countdown" w/Keith Olbermann and "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBCtv. I slept on the recliner until 11:15am, the longest I've ever been able to stay sleeping on that thing, LOL. I crawled into bed until noon, and then fings and I showered, dressed, grabbed a folding chair (just in case, we had no idea if there would be a very long line, and I didn't fancy standing for an hour or more. stupid flat feet! we didn't need it).

Finally voting was just great. I must say however, I miss the old school voting machines where the switches you moved for your vote kind of clicked, and then you pulled the lever with a very satisfying "ka-chunk!". Afterwards, we went to Cafe Rumba for some damn fine Cuban food.

We got home and I napped a bit on the recliner. I woke up rather cranky. I was feeling utteryly wiped out. Now I'm just really tired. Both mentally, and physically. I guess the stress of it all has taken a bit of a toll. Thank goodness this day is finally here, and we will know one way or the other what the frigging outcome is, already! My stomach is in knots, and I've already cried a little. I am hopeful, very hopeful.

We are expecting thudthwacker and eafm in a short while, as well as my oldest nephews. We'll eat, play some games, order some food. And maybe have the MSNBC.com live coverage on :D.

And yes, our apartment is cleaner and neater than it has been in weeks and weeks. HUZZAH!!! Now we need to work on the small room (so full of stuff and junk) and neaten up the guest room. Oh, and lots of damn paperwork to sift through, file, shred, organize. I need to draft one of my nephews to help move a lot of stuff to Goodwill. Oh, and we especially (ok, I need to) make sure the current level of clean and neat gets maintained as much as possible.

As a result of having crazy pre-election day jitters, nerves, and anxiety--our apartment is cleaner than it has been for WEEKS! LOL. By tomorrow night, it should be *BEAUTIFUL* in here, haha.

LOL at people who feel the need to announce their departure from a particular online board/forums. Some dumb chick on the PaperBackSwap board felt the need to say "I'm leaving cause of all the political talk! But I'll be back after the election!". I couldn't resist but offer her an exuberant "BYE!!!". Because, REALLY, thanks for the big dramatic announcement! So three women have called me rude and witchy and mean. Yeah, I'm an asshole, I should have just begged this chick to not leave the boards for a whole two days! Especially since she one of the people whose contributions are generally racist, negative, and offense. Twatwaffles, I have no patience for your ilk!

Granted, I'm on my last nerves from being on the eve of the election.

Happy Birthday to greenquotebook and dcdragon67!!!

I am ridiculously craving fries. I want crispy steak fries and a juicy burger. Or, Nathan's fries and corn dogs. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

So, who is planning on getting shit-faced, if possible, Tuesday night?

I love those little moments on the Colbert Report when it's obvious that Stephen is the D&D geek that he truly is, ha. So cute!
