I feel that I’m in an alternative universe. For eight years some people called anyone who disagreed with the President’s foreign policy or war in Iraq unpatriotic. Then in the course of two weeks, those same people cheer when the United States does not get selected for the Olympics and boo when our President is the unanimous choice for the Nobel Peace Prize. Go figure.

Congratulations Mr. President for standing up to the scorn and derision of your opponents in the election when you firmly stood for the proposition that strength meant being willing to talk to your enemies, not just your allies. Thank you for the confidence and wisdom to say that a hand will be extended when their fist is unclenched. And thank you for understanding that our national security rests on our principles, the example we set for the world, and our alliances along with the excellence and strength of our military, rather than exclusively the latter. God Bless America.

Interviews, not enough experience (how the hell am i supposed to get experience if no one will hire me?!) , and when they say "we'll call you to let you know our decision" and then never call you.

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up. These are the best days of our lives. The only thing that matters is just following your heart, and eventually you'll finally get it right.

So i ordered my books online from my school, assuming it would be simpler than digging through the bookstore for them. I checked the box that said "2 day shipping". I splurged an extra $35 for the shipping. It's been more than 2 days. No books.

I have assignments coming due now. I can scrape by for one more day in Italian without the book, but if i don't have my English book by tonight, I'm failing my first assignment.

I called my school's bookstore to complain about it, and they transferred me to the office that deals with the online orders...and that office just happens to never answer their phones.

I think my mom said it best just now.

"I didn't like Bush. But I am an American, he was my president, and I supported that. I didn't badmouth him, I didn't call him names, I didn't criticize anything he did, and I didn't force my opinion on anyone else. And I would appreciate it if everyone who hates Obama would do the same. I treated those people with respect and kindness when they supported the man they liked as president and I expect the same treatment. I managed to keep that to myself and so can you."

Gracias, mommy!

Today is mine and Ken's one year anniversary *eyebrows**eyebrows* Everyone go spam him and make him feel bad for not being here to kiss me or something. ;-)

Also, a conversation at work today made me curious:

Poll #1341131 EGGS
Open to: Friends, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 10

Do you like eggs?

How do you like your eggs?

What do you put on your eggs?

We were discussing this at work today, and Kim was weirded out that people put ketchup on their eggs, so she asked for a show of hands, who eats them like that, and everyone raised their hands *rotfl* I prefer salsa with mine, on the rare occasion that I eat eggs.

Dearest Matthew whom i adore with all my heart,

Stop shunning me or I'll beat you up. I know where you sleep. 'Tis not nice at all. Meanyhead

Love sincerely from your favoritest girl in the world (ok, one of two), bestest pal, and partner in crime

Andrea
