it has me all wound up.

I am such a nerd that I cried this morning after I voted. But I can’t help it. I love voting and it makes me supremely happy and proud.

Ryland came with me, I showed him all the lines I was voting for and told him this was a very big deal and we’re going to have a new president soon, and it would be Obama. And he said to me, “Barack Obama?” He knew Barack Obama’s name! That’s my boy.

Last night I thought that the Onion should have done a fake news story titled “A Confused John McCain concedes the election…” and then the rest of the article should be about how John McCain accidentally gave his concession speech the night before the actual election. I am not very funny, but I bet those Onion writers could have come up with some good lines.

Ry was a tree for halloween. A tree with an acorn crown and moss on his trunk and a bird’s nest, too.

He makes a great tree.

This solitary Tree! a living thing
Produced too slowly ever to decay;
Of form and aspect too magnificent
To be destroyed.
– William Wordsworth, Yardley Oak

Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness.
– Kahlil Gibran

The wonder is that we can see these trees and not wonder more.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

What did the tree learn from the earth to be able to talk with the sky?
– Pablo Neruda

A while back, I dropped my phone in the toilet. After I fished it out, it mostly worked, except for a few keys, albeit kind of important ones like the SEND button and the right directional button. I developed workarounds for this.

Then, on Halloween, I was walking around in the backyard looking for leaves and twigs to put on Ry’s tree costume. My phone dropped out of my pocket, and I didn’t realize it was missing until the next morning. I went searching and found it outside in the wet, cold grass.

Now all the keys work again! who knew that water damage to a cell phone could be cured by more water? maybe it was the cleanliness of the fresh cold autumnal water from outside triumphing over the dirty, feces-infested water from the toilet.

speaking of dirty feces-infested toilet things… I AM SO NERVOUS FOR TOMORROW. ahhh! I feel pretty confident the republicans won’t win, but argh. I am so nervous! I want the whole stinking mess to be over with already. I can’t take the stress anymore. I just can’t.

Please america, don’t fail me.

hey do any of you ladies from the eighties remember the side ponytail? I loved that look, even though I could never pull it off.

speaking of hair, I am 106% certain that my inoperable brain cancer is causing me to lose my hair.
