After seeing those White House pictures, I kind of wish I had gone over there last night. But I was exhausted -- I ended up falling asleep almost immediately after Obama's speech. Ahem. After President-elect Obama's speech.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Can you guys fight that in the courts?
I imagine there will be lots of fighting in courts as Prop 8 did not address what happens to those of us (approx. 14,000 couples if I'm remembering correctly) who got married while it was legal. Plus it was enough time (months) that couples may have bought property, gotten pregnant, all kinds of stuff that throws lots into legal limbo.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Good morning buffistas.
All that hate makes me want to cry. Putting that stuff in constitutions makes me want to cry. And I'm trying to remind myself that there have been such strides, and that heck, maybe in another generation we'll have a gay president! :) But in the meantime,
I feel like I did back when the ERA didn't pass and I thought to myself, wow, most of America truly thinks women don't deserve equal rights. As a girl (at that time), it was a humbling, humiliating experience. I sit here now and I can't shake the anger and the depression that most Californians think gays not only don't deserve equal rights, they deserve to have their rights taken away from them. It has created such a dark stain on last night's election.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Uni, day 4: So. Much. To. Grok. Which is fun, though...
Not enough time. I'm spending most of my time just organizing "stuff to do", "stuff to read/print and then read", and of course "more stuff to do".
Threadsuck is helpful, can't log my computer to the uni's intertubes for some reason (which was, I guess, I didn't try hard enough?). Then again, computers galore here.
I know this is probably history for the most of you, but it's new for me. Kind of "happy but ow!" Willowing feeling, though it's more "happy but brain's-storming-with-thoughts/tired". Though I'm quite sure that if I'll hand all of the papers and be in classes and do what they want me to do I'll be OK and everything will clear up eventually - but it's not why I applied here, you know? I did it to step forward in my life, to learn, to enrich myself, like a good muffin. So I just bought 3 cool, serious black folders to hand in my future-awesome-papers in them, and an ice cream.
Now, back to the organizing life, late lunch and some more work.
And I should stop using the same word too many times.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Okay, now for the really important question - where can I get a toddler-sized hoodie (18m would be perfect, but I'll take 2T and roll up the sleeves if I have to) that says "YES WE DID" so that Dylan will have something to wear to the inauguration?
[Cafepress has toddler t-shirts, but their kids hoodies only go down to size 6-8, and it doesn't look like Zazzle does sweatshirts at all.]
