Like a drop of rain flowing to the ocean
Nov. 2nd, 2004 08:27 amI feel a bit like a cheerleader today but I expect I'll be pestering everyone who walks into the office with the question, "You've voted, right?" I'd love to see my comments section fill up with folks chiming in after they vote, if you've got details about how many people were in line or how long a wait, please add 'em! Now if only I had some pom-poms.
BTW, as promised,
elo_sf here's the icon I was talking about:

:)
I don't know how I'm going to focus at work today but I'm going to try, and I'm going to hold tight to my faith. After months of signing petitions, walking in marches, making donations, rabidly combing the internet for news and posting too damn much (yeah, I know, all of you on my political sublist are probably rolling your eyes and laughing, thanks for hanging in there through it) there's little else to be done but wait and see. In the meantime I'm glad I've got class and work to keep me occupied today.
Oh, I also have a new phone, an LG 4015 which is just too HAWT for words, but oh do I ever need better ringtones and a more personalized wallpaper. The tropical ones are ok but I'd much rather have a Hobbit or Remus on there gazing up at me every day. It's working basically today so I'll sit down and play with the personalization later.
And I got the giant project of DOOM done last night. Now I just need to wrap the sucker and that's that. I may do a quick kid's afghan for a coworker before I launch into a boucle afghan for myself, but I'm setting aside the sewing kit for a while and I cannot tell you how happy that makes me.

Hey that's a pretty good turnout, here's hoping the numbers stay up, up, up! BTW, you have any free time this weekend? I am suddenly without plans and have my big project done. :)

(I am finding myself as jittery as if I'd just drunk a venti double-espresso drink. Hmm. Starbuck's. I think I may have to get one after work.)

Sweet, I'd be up for a movie or a rental though I have no idea what's even out right now. I'll go check tomorrow, I'm too distracted to be able to focus on anything but the election today :)

I still have the Behind the Planet of the Apes DVD from Netflix, and I went out and bought the Special Edition Mulan (Disney) over the weekend. Or some other theater or rental would be cool, too, there are too many movies I haven't seen yet!
