Okay, AP's called it, NBC's called it—I AM CELEBRATING!



This is a historic moment, guys! I CAN'T STOP SMILING.

Yay! *grins madly with you*

[taurenova.livejournal.com]

I am well chuffed for you guys. Totally.

Momentous times n'all that.

[mirabile-dictu.livejournal.com]

WHEW. Thank heavens it's over -- and it's Obama!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Join me for the dance of joy? *g*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

This is making me feel like maybe America can still be great. Do you know how long it's been since I felt that?

*flails*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

:D

I'm...actually feeling a bit patriotic! It's weird!

[jetspeaks.livejournal.com]

OK, I was looking at your pic and thinking "WTF is ABAMO? Why is it... Oh. Yeah". I have the stupid today. :)

Congratulations!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Actually, I was just talking about this with siriaeve today: I believe "Amabo" means "I will love" in Latin. APPROPRIATE, NO? *g*

[morebliss.livejournal.com]

Now let's gear up to kick some Republican ass!

[krisdia.livejournal.com]

Not just any dance of joy - the Balkie Bartokomus (sp?) dance of joy!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

HELLS YES.

[sonofzeal.livejournal.com]

800C AMA80? I don't get it. I'm just happy Obama's finally got the nod.

[aurora]

Yaaaay!

[omglawdork.livejournal.com]

Happy dance! Happy dance! I am so thrilled (and I love your tshirt!)!

As my favorite Obama bumper around these parts says:

OBAMANOS!

[mirabile-dictu.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think I do know, because it's been a long time for me, too. Someone to vote FOR. Wow.

His speech is wonderful, too. I'm listening to it as I type. OH OH OBAMA!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Oh god, we are going to DO OUR BEST. I am so excited and hopeful for the first time in a long time. I want us to be able to hold our heads up as a nation again. And now I really believe we have a chance.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I am too happy to even be able to snark with you! :D

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

*GLEE*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

That was a fabulous speech. I'm alone in my living room and yet I was bobbing my head and smacking the sofa and practically shouting "YES!" NOW IS THE TIME!

Someone to vote FOR.

Exactly! For me, as a vote-casting adult, it's gonna be the FIRST time! \o/

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Ha, that's fabulous! And yes, I love my shirt too. I got it when I made calls back in—gosh, January? It's been a long, hard road.

[inthekeyofd.livejournal.com]

How long? Only because you look really young!!

And the last time I felt that way was almost 8 years ago, sorry but I still think Bill Clinton was one kick ass president.

Honestly, either one of them and I would have been happy, never have two candidates been more deserving, seriously, I don't think I can even remember a time since that has happened.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Well—I'm 24. But I've been politically active from a very young age—I made campaign posters for Dukakis! And my family ran the Clinton campaign headquarters for our county in '92, so yeah—that was probably the last time for me, too.

I am very, very excited about voting in November! And I'm excited that the rest of the seems to feel the same!

[sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD BEST DANCE EVER jasdhlfajhsdfasdf

[icyanahita.livejournal.com]

YES YES YES. I am so happy. First time voting for someone, and it can be someone I believe in. That's amazing.

[sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com]

OBAMARAMALAMADINGDONG!

We toasted him with champagne when he came out onto the stage with Michelle. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY OBAMA!



[Clintons, you'll find the exits . . . oh, all around you. PICK ONE.]

[inthekeyofd.livejournal.com]

VERY COOL!!! I remember talking to my friend saying how when I was 16 I was talking to others about Amnesty International and such and how I had talked about the destruction of the rainforests by 18 and wrote one kick ass term paper for a college freshman class about all the ramifications of unemployement in Ireland..she was like, when I was 18, I was lounging by the pool..she got really into Pearl Jam and thought she had wasted those years..how I figure, it's not when you show up, it's that you do.

I love it when people get excited about anything, they release happiness!!

(and I do hope the young comment didn't bother you, I shouldn't talk, when I was 29 I was carded to buy lottery tickets, but I'm only in my 30's and still look young..which, I've come to realize can be a good thing *smile*)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

it's not when you show up, it's that you do

Yes, absolutely! And so many people are showing up this year—it's WONDERFUL!

And no, I don't mind—I mean, it's true! Better that I look my age than be 24 and look 80. ;-)

HOT ICON IS HOT.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I can only echo your YES YES YES. It's gonna be only my second time voting in a presidential election, and I'm just ecstatic, as mirabile_dictu said, to have someone to vote FOR.

\o/

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I think Korax and I are going to have much celebratory...ice cream. :) And my mom and I shrieked at each other on the phone a lot.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!



[There's the one leading, I don't know, STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL?]

[jetspeaks.livejournal.com]

Awww. :)

I think I was ripped off in having most of time in the US be part of the Bush Jr. years. *sigh*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

You totally were. :( At least, if all goes as planned, policies should shift so it will be a lot easier for people from all over to come here!

[darcydodo]

I can't help but notice on your shirt that Obama's name backwards is, pretty much, "AMABO" (with just one inverted letter) — which, since you've probably forgotten all your Latin, means "I will love."

Also, apart from the dimly lit surroundings and vague fuzziness of it all, that's a pretty nice picture of you, for once. ;)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Ahem (http://trinityofone.livejournal.com/153517.html?thread=5619117#t5619117).

And...thanks, I think. ;-)

[darcydodo]

Now, why would I bother reading all those other comments before posting my own? :)

[sonofzeal.livejournal.com]

In that case, I propose a toast:

[siria]

Hi, Trin, yaaaaaay! \o/ *waves*

(I miss youuuuuu.)

[kerrypolka.livejournal.com]

I have about six LJ tabs open of people posting about this, and every single one has the subject "\o/".

DAMN STRAIGHT \o/!

Seconding/thirding the excitement over having somebody to vote FOR. Because, well, \o/!

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

I am not even in North America and I am all kinds of gleeful! :D :D :D Apparently the news reports went from Obama (acceptance speech of win, stadium full of people), to Clinton (lots of people, still an exciting place to be even though she's lost), to... McCain. With, like, nobody there, and him sounding like a crazy old dude rambling to himself.

I think the phrase is BRING IT ON. :D

[thisissirius.livejournal.com]

YAY OBAMA \o/

[krisdia.livejournal.com]

IT SO IS!! To this day, I will totally react to good news with 'Now we are so happy, we do the dance of joy' ♥

[krisdia.livejournal.com]

Also, the world (read: me) clearly needs alien ritual fic featuring the dance of joy *g* Or the team gets to a planet and the whole time John and Rodney are thinking it's oddly familiar, and then it's called Mepos. And maybe someone puts them through the absurd marriage test! Seriously, I would DIE over this fic!!

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

I think half the world is keeping their fingers crossed. :D

Also, dude! Is that Furuba? *eyes the stack behind you*
