yes we fuckin' did!
whoa man....political victory hangover.
chloe and danny and i ended up meeting jill and teresa and larry and about 67748 other people at matchless. they projected the election coverage on the wall, and it was shoulder-to-shoulder, and every time a swing state went blue the whole crowd would scream and jump up and down. my throat still hurts from all the celebrating.
when mc cain started his concession speech it actually hit me. i turned to jill and i said "i think it's actually over". we screamed and hugged. up until that point, even though we could tell it was happening, that he was winning, i couldn't let myself believe it.
i teared up a little during the acceptance speech.
fuck man, this is history. and we did it. we tried so hard and it actually happened.
i think as much as i wanted it to, i never believed it would actually happen.
honestly, i'm still kind of in disbelief. i woke up yesterday morning, and the first thing i said to myself was that no matter how this ends, there's no way it's not going to be anticlimax. compared to all the energy and anxiety and hoping and worrying that's happened over the past two years.
even so, the energy even late last nite was incredible. we took the bus home, and people on both ends were running through the streets yelling OBAMA! OBAMAAAA!
noah from next door came over and we were all too jazzed to go to sleep.
i finally fell asleep around 4 am.
now i'm groggy, my throat and ears hurt, and i'm pretty sore from all the yoga i did yesterday to keep myself distracted from the polls.
but fuck, man.
there's A NEW DAY DAWNING IN AMERICA.
and it's fuckin' OURS.
