2008 election
Obamarama! and... errands!
Well, he won. I'm happy about it. (Apologies to McCain supporters.)
It amazes me seeing the largely jubilant reaction all around the world. Here in Canada, too.
Of course I've got some of the cynic in me. Obama has a huge reputation to live up to and everyone, both Americans and non-Americans are going to be scrutinizing him to see if he can live up to his own standards. I don't expect that it will be easy for him, or that people will be patient enough to wait out the results.
I can say though that seeing him win actually inspired ME, though. I've applied for Canadian colleges now and I'm going today to send for my official transcripts and give my letter of intent and other documents to the campuses.
Maybe I won't have to give up on my future, either.
Sarah Palin name generator
Sally, if you were born to Sarah Palin, your name would be:
Taupe Armageddon Palin
I'm not even posting this 'cause I think names have to do with people's worth or anything, but... it's just kind of funny. (TAUPE ARMAGEDDON! It makes me think of being a Jedi for some reason, 'cause they wear all that brown and tan.) 'Cause I dunno. When did "Track" become a name? or "Trig"... I guess I'm just scratching my head at the choices.
Willow is a nice name though! *tries to be positive* :P
Hrmmmm tomorrow is the election. *boggles* I'll be out for part of the day, possibly, to send for college transcripts... unless I go and do some of the prep for it (filling out forms :P) tomorrow instead.
[Long post] Obama '08, also some depression issues.
(Note: Comments off, 'cause I am not interested in a political debate.)
Life is still crap, and I'm pretty sure I'm going insane...
On the other hand, I will say this: I really, really hope Obama wins the U.S. presidential election. I don't live in the U.S. any more, but I may end up having to go back one day (maybe sooner than I'd like). And he is just plain more in line with what I'd like to see in a leader of my home country. I don't think he's THE perfect candidate, or that he'll be able to keep all his promises, but I think he'll still give it his best shot.
