Teresa #133 - "I hope we've done a little bit to redress the disappointment we've been to the rest of the world in recent years."
It's a whole lot more than just a little bit. We here in South Africa suddenly love America again! And we are crying our eyeballs out, and being all marshmallowy. It feels good and right, even though we know that once the party's over it's going to be hard. That's OK though, just as long as it goes steady. Wish us luck for our own elections next year... we are going to need oodles of it.
America, you made the whole world proud. There aren't any words that can express how I feel today... thank you. Thank you.
Suspense is killing me here! I am half excited and half terrified and completely distracted. Have told my dogs and family that if they want supper they must forage for it because I cannot possibly be expected to concentrate on cooking. No fingernails left, bald patches on head from pulling at hair, bloodshot eyes from still no sleep, floors worn down from pacing... have bought some condensed milk and salty crackers and pickles and will be having a midnight feast shortly. I will not sleep, no, I will not.
Peter, I couldn't sleep last night either... it's 11:25am for us now, and I still can't sleep. Not even going to try. This election has a whole planet on the edge of its seat. Maybe I'll take a little glass of something now too - chin chin
For what it's worth, here's a vote from Johannesburg, South Africa. Viva Barack Obama, viva! Oh and viva ML too, the best website in the universe. I always read but never comment, so this is a first. Hi there :-)
