Two Americas...

I was reading a FoaF comment on Facebook: "My mood matches the weather: bitter and cold and I want to stay inside."

Me (not to him, wouldn't be nice): "Ditto. Sunny and 60s, with better the rest of the week. The days are getting longer and brighter, but I realize everyone doesn't live in the same place I do..."

I'm so glad I didn't turn out like a bunch of my HS classmates did.

My mood matches the weather, too - brisk, refreshing, sunny, beautiful. This mood fits all weather. It's all in the perception.

How sad for those who can't find something to be happy about today, not even just the historic moment we pass once every four years.

Eh. I have to let that stuff go, because I remember how mired in depression I was after Shrub's elections.

yeah, I'm there with you. I'm not crowing, I'm just noticing. There really are two places.

...the weather wants to stay inside?

[libskrat]

Yup, I hear you.

I hear ya. Most of my highschool acquaintances, at least judging by a highschool mailing list I was on, are pretty much on the right, though some were nice about it. My class valedictorian, who has been an engineer for FoMoCo up in Michigan, is also a Republican, but didn't have any objection to being bailed out.

The real friends I made in high school I still have.

Yesterday the sun shone brighter, gravity tugged at my heels a little less heavily, and I drank myself into a stupor on the angry, bitter tears of wingnuts.
