So i'm happy about Obama's victory, but to be honest, i'm still a little stunned. It's not that it came as a surprise, it seemed most likely that he would win from a while now. But the fact that it's over, and he's no longer just a candidate...he's actually the president-elect... It's pretty overwhelming.

But despite all that fun stuff, this morning was quite a disappointment. It turns out prop 8 has most likely passed, which is some straight up bullshit. I understand that some people want to protect their view of marriage, but the "traditional" definition of marriage is a religious one, and the government has no place enforcing any religious view. If a church chooses to shun gay marriages and claim they're two men or two women can never married in the eyes of their version of God, whatev, but the government's role is to protect us, not to establish and enforce our sense of morality. As far as state and federal governments are concerned, marriage should be nothing more than a legal contract, and to revoke the rights of citizens to enter into that contract based on religious scruples is, well....some straight up bullshit.

So yeah, it's a bittersweet morning, so for now, I'm gonna try and focus on the positive, at least untill i know what i can do to help get the new amendment repealed. Overall it's a good morning. At least prop 4 didn't pass, and Barack Obama is president elect of the United States of America.

cyborgXraven

let me jsut say right off the bat that i'm not a huge fan of the term "CyRae." the "rae" part jsut bugs the snot out of me for some reason, but whatever. cyborgXraven will always have a special place in my heart because it's how neisha tricked my into becoming a shipper. i saw on her homepage that she shipped them, and i asked her why, and the next thing i know i'm one of those damn crazy shippers.

yeah, i said it, shippers are crazy. they're downright batshit. i'd like to think i lean toward the rational side but there's no hiding from the crazy.

whatev. the point is they would make a cute couple. they're outsiders. it's hard for them to get close to people, it just works.

i doubt anyone cares, but i thought i'd share anyway.

ramen noodles + lemon + tapatio = godly bliss

just thought i'd share.

10. that guinea pigs are plotting against me.

9. that movies in the works for the next few years include transformers 2 and 3, avatar: the last airbender, the dark knight, and VOLTRON! *spaz/foam/die*

8. that cosplayers rock out loud.

7. that tattoos hurt pretty much exactly as much as i had expected. no more, no less.

6. that i am apparently a furry. (this was decided by neisha and her sister ymani without my knowledge or consent.)

5. that you can never really trust a hot dog. (i learned that one the hard way.)

4. how to say "happy new year" and "made from new ecologically clean materials" in russian.

3. that it is possible, and surprisingly easy, to fall madly in love with a fictional man, woman, alien, or autobot.

2. that guitar hero is made of pure unadulterated awesome.

1."you remind me of the babe."
"what babe?"
"the babe with the power."
"what power?"

"do what?"
"remind me of the babe."
