"Father, why do these words sound so nasty?"

1. Oh god, I was the laziest bastard at work EVER today. I don't even KNOW what I was doing. I mean, I read everything I had to and am all caught up from the weekend, which is awesome. But I'm pretty sure I spent at least three hours ASLEEP. FAIL. Not to mention the time I spent spazzing online. You know, THIS is why I still leave work at 10pm even ( Read more... )

7. I plan to get up half an hour earlier on Wednesday morning and start my day with CNN. Even though there probably won't be many results in by then, but I am so ridiculously excited about this election, it borders on insanity. Glad to hear I'm not the only non-American who feels that way. ;)

SLEEP!

7. Good. I'm SO glad that I'm not the only person who has this dorky obsession with American politics. I've had it for YEARS, I must admit, though it's fallen a bit by the wayside what with work sapping my brain of all energy etc. But I'm still excited to just sit and watch results come in, and see how the electoral map shapes up. EEK.

You're going to start the day with CNN? It doesn't quite work out for you timing-wise, right? It's kind of perfect for me because it'll be morning for me when the results start coming in from 9pm or so onwards.

Clearly... not sleeping. *cries*

Uhm... if I get up at 6am, it'll be midnight on the east coast, so I guess the first results will be in by then. Guess I'll have to follow it all online when I'm at work. God, I hope there will BE results soon, nothing of that election-of-2000 crap, where we didn't know for days what was going on.

I kinda miss you. Feels like we haven't comment-spammed in ages! I do read your entries though. :)

Oh yeah, that makes sense - it explains why I was able to follow the election from the UK in 2000. That was all kinds of insane, but I actually LOVED following it - crazy six weeks of not knowing what the heck was happening and having the election called for Bush then Gore then NOBODY then... hee. Am such a dork!

And *hugs*! I miss you too! I've missed my flist this past weekend and I'm BAD with comments now because of life!fail, but it feels like I haven't chatted with YOU properly in ages. D: I do read too!

*glomps baaaack*

I was in NYC in 2000, and although all this election mess was kind of annoying, it was also really interesting to experience it first-hand. I remember sitting in the office, everyone had a window with cnn.com open, and every once in a while someone would shout "more votes for Gore!" or "Bush got 50 more now!" LOL It was fun. In a weird way. Oh, America.

Yeah, RL. Kind of necessary, but also quite annoying and in the way of our fangirly needs, right? Boo.

How awesome must it have been to be THERE in 2000? I was there in December, if I'm not mistaken, when the results were still up in the air. Craziness! I remember buying every magazine I could get my hands on and also watching the news every night back at the hotel. Heh.

RL = FAIL but necessary to FINANCE flail. Sigh.
