Election Night via Texts.

So, if you read my post from 4 years ago this week, you will know that I had quite the traumatic experience when Bush defeated Kerry.  Obviously, I'm more towards the Left but I'm posting this stuff for Rights, Lefts, Reds, and Blues alike to laugh at.  I don't want to impose political views on anyone.

Alanna, my BFF in the 313, was with me in '04 and we texted each other last night as it all went down.  Just thought I'd share so you can see the insanity.

Me: Dude, I can't help it.  NBC is on. Going out 4 smokes. Otherwise I will have no nails and gain 10lbs from compulsively eating.

Me: Shit shit shit. VA looking like McCain.  Indy too.

Alanna: Yeah, still avoiding it.

Me: It will suck you in man. Dont do it.

Alanna: My inner 'pre-2004 red sox fan' is coming out. I'm heading for the fetal position just in case.

Me: I don't have any beer.  I'm taking this one in sober. It's hard.

Alanna: Not gonna lie. Broke out the vodka.

Me: I have old wine. does that go bad?

Alanna: Not unless you believe Lucille Bluth (see Development, Arrested). I think you're a ok.

Me: it's a good night, i feel it. john did a 180. it was sunny. pville guy is acting nice. the stars are aligned.

Me: Fox news called ohio for obama. looks like we got it right this time.

Alanna: just read an article about a 114 year-old daughter of former slaves who got to vote for obama today. can't stop crying.

Me: (inexplicably and uncontrollably laughing) hahahahaha.  why am i laughing? what's wrong with  me?

Then there was convo about Keith Olbermann, Ben Affleck, me not understanding "Twilight" (is it like the harry potter?).

Then, I turned the tv off (@this point,  Obama had taken Pennsylvania and Ohio) .  And was falling asleep when:

Alanna: AHHHH!!

So I turned it on.  3 was on commercial. 4 commercial. 5 commercial.  The only station on was Telemundo.  SI!  Obama es el presidente! Si podemos!  Then I saw Jesse Jackson crying and Big Ops crying and people of ever color and religion and orientation coming together.

Like I said, it was a pretty good night. :)
