YES WE CAN.

[absinthe_spoons]

... well, you can, technically. You, you awesome Americans, you. C'mon over here, U.S., I want to give all of you a big hug. Because I LOVE ALL OF YOU RIGHT NOW.
I feel like the earth is shifting under our feet. This is history, this is the beginning of something.
I want to hop over the border and go party with Americans right about now. I want to run through the halls of SMHR hollering "YES WE FUCKING CAN!" at the top of my lungs... but most people here aren't into it, I can't fathom it. HISTORY, PEOPLE.
I'm expressing my heart-bursting joy through mood theme! Courtesy of sincerely_jane. I feel kind of silly, though, I don't have an Obama-related icon. That should be remedied toute suite.
The election pretty much took up my entire day from 6pm up until now (2:15am). I did, in fact, watch Prison Break. It was glorious in the parts that matter. But Prison Break has been completely overshadowed for today.
I have so much love and admiration for this man, this symbol, this new world leader. I love him and his family, and I love Joe Biden and his crazy family too.
*flails* I really want to be an American for a day right about now.
ETA: I didn't cry at all last night, not even when the victory was announced. Now... argh, I can't stop crying, I can't stop grinning. I'm so proud. I'm so happy and touched by this turn of events, this plot twist in America's history. It's not even my country, I don't live there, but I love America so much at this moment.

Hey, it's moss. I'm glad you are spreading the love and happiness. This night deserves to be celebrated. And I'm totally with you: I wish there was some way we could go to America and share in this joyous occasion. 'Cause apparently most people here do not appreciate this the way I want them to. Whatever, I'm so thrilled right now! Nothing could put a damper on my mood. :D

I. KNOW. I am also so happy, I can't, um, find words. I don't know. It's just.. It's HISTORY, dammit. And it's awesome and amazing and yeah, they are no words. At least for me. But I'm not eloquent to begin with, so, y'know.
Well, people here seem to be into it -- for the most part. Ex: in my Law class today all we did was discuss American politics. But my teacher is obsessed with the election, so, I suppose that was to be expected.
YAY OBAMA!

Hey, its moss again. I keep saying that. There truly are no words for me to express how I feel about this. It's incredible. Just amazing. I need more adjectives. You're lucky that people there are into it. I don't think I've heard a single person here mention Obama once today. Not once. Of course, we had that huge drop fees rally, so that may have been on people's minds, but still. I was disappointed. Doesn't matter though. I second your YAY OBAMA!
