I don’t know how much longer I can handle this happiness and pride, how much longer I can walk around with this goofy grin, how much longer I can keep saying “president obama” and practically fainting at the taste of it on my tongue and lips.<\/p>\n
this joy, so pure so unfettered, will end. I know it will. But for now, for this moment, it feels good, and I’m going to hold on to it as long as I can. I haven’t felt this way since… well maybe never. maybe just never. to everyone who voted: thank you.<\/p>\n
on the disappointing side: alaska voted to keep a convicted felon in office? and that stupid house republican, what’s her face, the one who said those ridiculous things on TV? oh yeah, michele bachmann. she<\/em> got reelected? embarrassing.<\/p>\n most disheartening of all, california (and arizona and florida) voting to ban gay marriage. A lot of other states have bans so I shouldn’t be surprised, but it bugs the shit out of me to have constitutions AMENDED for shite like this; amendments shouldn’t take away rights. thank god for massachusetts. and our decriminalizing of pot. woo!<\/p>\n in other news, I’ve been pretty sick the past few days, not with just my inoperable brain cancer but also with a stupid chest cold. bleah. Plus, I’ve developed some weird rash on my neck that I am convinced is a symptom of a Serious Condition. I don’t know what condition, but it’s serious! some very rare, deadly disease I’ve contracted, probably on the train. the rash is all red and blotchy and itchy. I am very worried about it. I wasn’t worried before, but I am now.<\/p>\n and that’s because I read on the dayquil bottle, “Stop use and ask a doctor if cough comes back, or occurs with rash or headache that lasts. These could be signs of a serious condition.” A SERIOUS CONDITION. Their words, not mine.<\/p>\n should a bottle of medicine be allowed to do that? just say off-the-cuff stuff like “an accompanying rash is a sign of a serious condition” and leave it at that? what kind of condition? how serious? what kind of rash? where? I’ve had a headache my whole life. is that the kind of headache that you mean by “headache that lasts”? “stop use and ask a doctor” is very unhelpful. stupid proctor & gamble, with their warnings and indications. look what you’re doing to me. just look!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don’t know how much longer I can handle this happiness and pride, how much longer I can walk around with this goofy grin, how much longer I can keep… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-random"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1318"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1318\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1321,"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1318\/revisions\/1321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.loafe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
