YES WE DID!



I'm all for being a gracious winner, but first, I need a little time to celebrate.

I'm so excited. So hopeful. I'm really hoping this will show people that they can make a difference in the democratic process if they participate. Last night was so very inspiring, and I'm glad I got to share it with some really cool people. (And I'm sorry I couldn't spend it with ALL of the people I wanted to, but sadly I'm not yet able to appear in hologram form wherever I please.)

The mood in Manhattan as I made my way home was incredible. People were screaming, honking horns. I high-fived total strangers. It was amazing. It was so positive, so hopeful. [livejournal.com profile] dotfic also wrote this up well. Right now I am very very tired, and I have to concentrate on work.

But I am proud of my country right now.* And hopeful about what the future.

More of substance as brain comes back online. I didn't get to bed until 2am.

*(However, if Prop 8 passes, I want to organize a California boycott of some kind. I'm dead serious, and am looking for suggestions on how to do this.)
