1. I''ve been up since 2:30 EST myself
watching reruns of Scarborough and Anderson Cooper.

Frightening...this is either going to be great news or Kristallnacht.

4. I'm driving my husband crazy
because I won't go to bed. I can't sleep either. I'm afraid it's anticipatory depression. But I hope not.

6. This is my first election
and I can't get to bed either. I should get some sleep for all the work that still has to be done tomorrow. I'm to anxious and nervous and a thousand other adjectives. I've read all the latest posts and went past cleaning up my side of the room to cleaning my roomies. Here's some reading material for all you others still up with me.

7. I'm probably not going to sleep today
I'm done doing my overnight show at 6am my time and depending on how wired I am on coffee I think I'll just ride out the day and hope for the best....

8. I'm anxious myself. I'm up and will be getting dressed after I post this.
I'm an election judge today in Cook County, IL and I have to be at the polling place by 5:15 am. It's only about 1/2 mile from where I live so I have plenty of time.

Here's hoping everything goes smoothly and we can all celebrate a Democratic victory sometime tonight or early tomorrow morning.

I probably won't get home until about 8:30/9:00 pm and I'll try to get in DU then.

See everyone then, hopefully...

:dem: :kick:

9. It's going to be a long day.
I generally get 5 hours of sleep a night anyway (chronic back pain) but when I awoke THIS morning I bounced out of bed (or as close as I ever come to bouncing) and I fell energized and ready to put the smack-down on Bush's ass. My polling place opens at 6:30 at I intend to be the first one there.
Now, off to brush the toofies, a quick cup of coffee and out the damn door to KICK BUSH'S ASS!
See 'ya in a while! :)

11. Welcome to the club...
I slept all of 2 hours last night. In Wisconsin we're voting on the "Marriage Amendment" and I'm just so damn nervous.

21. Ativan is also good
for getting rid of the side effects of drugs like Haldol and thorazine, the nastiest one is the Akathesia..I don't take ativan anymore.

14. Been listening to my ipod all night
Because I don't wanna turn on the TV until I have too.
It'll drive me up a wall while the numbers go up and down.

I am going to wait until it's close to poll close and than turn it on...Who the fuck am I kidding? I hope so bad this is a Dem Sweep and not Kristallnacht.I really do.. But for some reason I am scared not run away and hide scared, more of a pissed off defensive scared.Preparing for the worst hoping for the best.
And I still can't sleep. my eyes are tired so I may go offline soon.get something to eat.

20. I feel confident and calm.
This reminds me of many decades ago, when I used to box. I think the democrats are going to score a knockout today.
