Happy timessss
I'm incredibly excited about today. It doesn't compare to Election Day, but it's just been really wonderful to watch everything unfold. I was 10 when Bush was elected and all I ever knew about Bill Clinton at the time was that he screwed some intern, so the Bush presidency is really all I've ever known. I haven't really felt safe since 9/11, so honestly, having the country in the hands of anyone else would be a positive thing, but I think the Obama administration shows even more promise than I ever could have expected from anyone. I can't wait to be a part of the next four years.
Also, I kind of have a thing for Jill Biden right now. She reminds me of Abbey Bartlet, except she seems like less of an irrational bitch. I totally associate teaching at a community college during her husband's term with volunteering at a clinic in the middle of the night, and Jill's slutty boots = Abbey's cleavage dress. (Update: Jill's cleavage dress = Abbey's cleavage dress) Also I love how she's credited as "Dr. Jill Biden" on the White House website (hello, totally a thing on the West Wing), because that makes her seem super badass and independent and equal to her husband. Which is really sexy. As if that wasn't enough, I love that she got her degree in education because that's only my favorite cause ever. She wrote her dissertation (which I really want to read in its entirety) on how to keep community college students from dropping out. I think it's particularly awesome because that's an area of education that doesn't get a lot of focus, and it should. I think if people are willing to take that step and take classes at a community college, they can be inspired to do pretty much anything. She's also big on literacy and reading at an early age, which, hello, most important thing everrrr.
DANCINGGGG. GAHH. SO CUTE SO CUTE SO CUTE. I SHIP THEM. AND HER DRESS, IT IS EPIC.
So I've totally been watching scenes from Damages repeatedly. I really ship Glenn Close and William Hurt. I also love it when Patty flips out in the middle of the day because she can't deal with all the evil things she's done. It's pretty hot. Why does Glenn Close have this effect on me? I hate her and yet...I love her? I'm pretty sure that's like, the axiom of Glenn Close.
