(no subject)
i had class all morning, so between each class (there are 10 minute breaks in taiwan so it's better than the two minutes i would've had in the u.s.) i'd rush back to the office and check the new york times to see what was going on.
i didn't want anyone to tell me what happened in ohio, i needed to see it for myself. i remember the painful disappointment i felt when ohio turned red the last two times, despite what i saw as us having every reason in the world (at least the country) to not vote for the republicans. and my grandpa agrees.
anyhow, i saw that blue, and got the biggest smile on my face. i felt a brand of happy that i've never felt before. and i felt a burden lifted that i didn't know i carried. so i announced to my h.s. jr's wu class (the elite class) that obama just won ohio's 'points' and someone not only knew that ohio had twenty but also that vermont had 3. sometimes i'm pleasantly surprised.
right now, huelo is in columbus with zach and dane and i'm so happy she's there and i so wish i could be there with them. i have lots of fantasies about living in columbus ever since i visited them this summer. anyhow, it'd be nice to be in the country surrounded by joyful, optimistic, dedicated, and energetic folks. for now, it's nice to be in taiwan surrounded by some of the raddest americans ever. and some pretty sweet taiwnese as well.
