The beginning of something new.

I could not have picked a better election for my first time voting, or a better place to live to cast my vote. I couldn't possibly be prouder of my country for electing someone I believe in, or prouder that I helped make that possible

oh man, it was so fucking EPIC. :D there really isn't a better way to describe it. i've never been a part of something like that and it was...indescribable.

and, seconded. how is it possible to feel so much pride for my country and so much disappointment in my state?

hahaha ucla=same.

ucla went wild. you could hear screams from across campus, other dorm buildings. the moment we took ohio it was clear obama was going to win so everyone went screaming into the streets. i guess it was a good preview of the undie run except people were clothed.

oh but there are so many protests right now for 8. i went to one tonight in hollywood. it was cerrraaazy. there were like 20 helicopters.

we at uc berkeley were 1000000x times more excited for election day than we were for halloween, haha.

i felt a tiny little bit bad for the four republicans at berkeley who spent the night surrounded by screaming ecstatic obama-crazy students...and then i got over it because i was too damn happy about everything. it was awesome.

i know, we've had a few around berkeley/sf (of course). i haven't seen helicopters yet...but i'm so glad so many people are protesting. i can't wait until this thing goes down!
