four years ago at this moment i was euphoric and realizing that i was witnessing history. don't get me wrong, it's pretty exciting, and an enormous privilege, to participate in something as important as voting for those who will lead you, but today had a different feeling.
maybe it was relief? relief that it's finally over. relief that i finally made my voice heard - officially. relief to know that, regardless of political persuasion, i will still have my friends in the morning. but ... but, there's something more ... or less.
maybe it was ordinary? it seemed more like an exercise today. maybe it's because i'm trying to protect myself? i admit that's it difficult to listen for months and months about how i might be less of a person - because i'm gay, because i'm a woman, because i work in an agency that some believe is an unnecessary waste of taxpayer money.
but then, i felt energized by the fight. i want to fight for who i am and what i value. my vote was my knockout punch.

"prophet" or full of shit?
spent the last 1/2 hour watching the "prophets" on word tv (kristin's just rolling her eyes!) - a few observations -
1) who made them prophets? "prophet" seems like a term that you don't throw around lightly.
2) they've said a lot of words, but haven't said a thing except they want me to give $48 to receive blessings for the next 48 hours. personally i think i'd have a better chance for 48 hours of blessings if i didn't break the chain and forwarded the rack of "forward this to 10 people or you're going to get a boil that won't heal" emails that are currently clogging up my inbox.
3) the main prophet is going on the road over the next few weeks for a series of "prophetic releases" ending with the "great prophetic release." all i haven't to say is lock your bathrooms and don't open them until you're sure he's moved on to the next town.

making her famous
totally forgot that tomorrow is mother's day and didn't even send a card! but you can all help me by making my mom famous because there's no better present than that. if you wouldn't mind - forward this link to everyone you know + 10 people that you sort of know + 5 people that you really don't know, but are hoping to get to know better and ask them to leave a comment on the blog telling my mom -
how pretty she is
how famous she is
how nice her hands are
how you never seen a better picture of someone sticking out their tongue during a professional photo shoot
i will then forward her all of the comments and it will be the BEST mother's day present ever!
thanks for your help. by the way, nothing will happen if you don't forward this on in the next 10 minutes - no death, destruction, bad luck etc. but, you will help me dig myself out of the procrastinator's hole. oh, and not to make you feel guilty, but i'd totally do it for you :)
