All my RL friends are so sick of hearing me remind them to go vote today, seriously. My friend Katie was like, "I'm gonna NOT vote just because you're bugging me about it so much!" That shut me up right away. :)

I never thought I'd live long enough to see it either. Oh man, this is such an exciting time.

I sent my mail-in vote last Tuesday.

I nearly passed out cold when he won Iowa. THAT was my choke-up moment. All those white people voted for a black man, it just fucking FLOORED me. If he wins it'll be my second flooring but you know what? I think he will.

*embraces floor* LOL

I've been telling everyone I know to vote so much, they're getting really sick of me.

I voted at six this morning when it was still dark outside!! Well, actually, I probably voted at more like seven, but I stood in line for an hour first. So when I came back outside, the sun had come up, lol. And both my parents have voted, and I've been harassing people for days to make sure they all vote, so hopefully it will all pay off. My first presidential election, whoo-hoo!!! :D

I voted about an hour ago after class and just had the nicest moment of the entire campaign, I think.

I was driving down the street to come home after voting and stopped at a light. I saw an old couple walking down the street - like, 70s or 80s old. Looking all respectable. The woman was carrying an Obama sign and the man was wearing an Obama shirt where his face is on it looking like Che Guevara. I choked up and almost missed the light.
