today

written by Jana November 4, 2008

exercising my rights, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.

I’m glad I voted early because today I’m going in for some emergency dental work (blargh). But today feels like Christmas anyways–that same feeling of nervous anticipation.

Tonite, if I’m not too uncomfortable, I’ll be joining friends at the UCI pub to watch the election returns. Please consider joining us if you’re in the area.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
Barack Obama

I totally feel the same way about today! I did a little cheer after I voted this morning. My energy is so high I think my coworkers want to smack me. Luckily I work closest with Obama supporters so they are just as into it as I am.

No matter what happens tonight all my energy needs to go somewhere. I’m going to cry buckets no matter who wins. Tears of joy or pain, buckets.

Go Obama.

You got a sticker and I didn’t! Jealous!

Not really. I didn’t get a sticker because voter turnout was so much greater than anticipated that they ran out of stickers before mid-morning locally.

Yay. Proud, actually.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
