Party? YES WE CAN!
Sometimes life just baffles me.
For example, this year, Halloween was on a Friday. Usually an excuse to party in such a way as to make Bacchus proud, this year it felt like a non-event.
On the flipside, however, I have received SIX invitations for Election day gatherings of various sizes (4 in Brooklyn, 2 in Manhattan). SIX! Usually I'm one of the few people I know of who gives half a crap about election day, and this year, people are actually planning events. I wish I could hit them all, but I don't know how that is physically possible.
I'm due at the very least to have dinner with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dotfic, and we're definitely going to be somewhere there's a tv. Otherwise, my primary goal is to be wherever they'll be watching the Stewart/Colbert event at 10. That's very important.
I'll be at the polls tomorrow morning, bright and early. I may even wear my Obama shirt. And a bright blue sweater. I've done all my research and I have a crib sheet of all of the elections I'm to vote in, so I remember who I wanted to vote for when NOT in front of the computer. (President is easy. It's the local ones I sometimes have issues keeping straight. But I do research them!)
Otherwise, I'm in the lovely sort of mood one can only have after a whopping 2 hours of sleep last night. I have no idea what kept me up, either. I'd say it was due to sleeping on the floor thanks to some Ikea-related shenanigans, but I slept just fine on the floor the previous evening, so that can't be the reason. Either way, I'm going to prop myself up and get through the day as best I can. Yes, I can.
Because if I can't make up some sleep debt tonight, I'm going to make my dinner plans and go to bed at a reasonable hour tomorrow.
