There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants,
and the other is getting it.
---Oscar Wilde
Love is being awake in Hour 20, running on less than two hours of sleep, in the middle of a three-star hotel ballroom that smells of stale cigarette smoke, thinking, "It just doesn't get better than this."
The requisite boring stats and condensed life history
I'm 28, single, and living in Northern California. I grew up in Wisconsin, spent four wonderful years in Madison (I remember a combined total of three of them, which I think is pretty good), then continued my tour of the Midwest by going to grad school in Bloomington, Indiana. I achieved my life goal (without realizing it, of course) by living and working in DC. After almost three years there, I, like an idiot, left DC and moved here. Ok, so the move was for very good, career-promoting, unique experience, blah blah blah reasons. But still: It's Not DC.

That's too bad. Ballot boxes deserve to be stuffed on occasion.
All the excitement of election day, the Democrats taking Congress AND um, ballot box stuffing might have been a little too much for one day. No? Ok, maybe not.
I guess that answers my question.
Maybe the election high wasn't enough...I suggest shots.
But I am glad you are enjoying being in your element.
It was SO hard to try and follow it all from overseas, wishing I was back home, marveling at the lack of interest all around me. I thought that military families would have a LOT of interest in political issues -- but I was oh, so very WRONG!
Hmmm...going to stop this here and rant further on my own blog. Sorry about that! Hee hee!
What a shame about no ballot box stuffing. Am waiting for the ship to pull into the harbor myself...but you knew that!
I live in the county where LBJ had his ranch. In his time it was rumored that the dead would rise up to vote. No more; now even the living have trouble making it to the polls.
