One Day More.

obamabackstage1

Will I get more than three hours of sleep tonight?
When should I get to the polls?
What if someone tries to stop me from voting?! Do I punch them? I can’t punch anybody!
Why can’t I stop listening to Jordin Sparks, “One Step at a Time”?!

Oh. My. God.

WHAT DO I WEAR TO THE ELECTION NIGHT PARTY… Cute top, cute jeans, big earrings?!
Do I keep my hair curly or get up even earlier to blow it out straight?
Will Virgina go blue?
Could New York go red?!
Oooo…should I wear blue? Too on the nose…or is it so corny it turns charming?

Do I watch MSNBC tonight or CNN?
Should I pretend nothing’s happening and watch “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” instead?
Why did “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” suck so much?

Oh. My. God.

What if Voldemort shows up at the party tomorrow?!
What about the Death Eaters, are they still undecided?!
Who am I?!
What am I?!
Where am I?!
Who are you?!
AM I TRIPPING?!

Pfffffffffffff.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Breathe in.
Breathe out.

Yes we can.
One step at a time.
Thank you, Jordin Sparks.

    Wear purple or red… the subversive fashion thing usually comes off pretty hot. And curly. The blow-out can tend toward the prim red state mentality, no? And then go party!

    (I’ve gotta admit, I’m a wee bit jittery — but excited! OBAMA!)
