I think I've finally cracked |
|
I've been cheerfully announcing to all my friends today "Yup, the idiot won. Now we're all gonna fucking die!" I can't quite describe how I feel right now. It's a combination of rage, calm acceptance, amusement, shock, disappointment, and some general nihilistic feelings. I cried myself to sleep after the 2000 fiasco, but I'm just feeling really weird right now. I don't actually feel upset . . . I think. This and the weird fatalistic things I've been saying all day have lead me to believe I've gone completely off the deep end. Oh well, I think we'll all have to be at least a little bit insane to make it though the coming dark years.

And once you get some sleep and wake back up, you lose that feeling, and get freshly connected to the misery in all its glory. Rinse, fuckin' repeat. It's gonna be a long cold winter.

5. Eh, maybe a little bit |
|
I got 5 hours last night, but before that i've been getting 9 a night for the past week at least. I usually run great even on 4, so i don't think that's the reason.

And that's the only consolation I have. I did all that I could, so let the crackers who voted for chimpy have their draft, their deficit, and their quagmire with nobody to blame but themselves and the fucktard.

So far my family is taking it pretty well. We're all democrats, but i'm the only political junkie. They're disappointed, but I think everyone is to a differing degree. Hang in there! :hug:

8. Today I left work early, got into a fight with a total stranger.... |
|
and backed into her car because she wouldn't move it. Then I jumped out of my car and dared her to call the cops. Inbetween I called her names.
I've had more rational days. :(

13. Geeze, looks like i'm taking it pretty well then |

All will be well with time. People will come to realize what a disaster chimpy is, and he'll end up wearing an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs in the hague.

I haven't cried in over a year. I had no idea losing would hurt this badly. I am also afraid. Afraid for my safety as well as the safety of other Americans, of the world. I only got about 3 hours sleep last night but still can't sleep. I feel numb, do-less, sort of empty. I don't know what to do with myself. I mean I've always had so much work to do for the cause. Now it's just - poof - gone. A lot can happen in two years. Even more in 4 years. I guess this means Patriot Act II will be passed, and Roe v. Wade will be overturned.
