Place your hand on mine, one last time, and kiss me goodbye

So how did I do on my electoral projection? Pretty damn well! :D

Final count: Obama 365, McCain 173
My projection: Obama 367, McCain 171

I had a few missed guesses in the details, but my numbers were closer than any pundit's I saw! \o/ The differences were that I gave Obama Missouri and Montana, which he lost, but he won Indiana which I didn't give him. The other difference was that he won a single electoral vote in NEBRASKA (one of only two states that split their votes by Congressional district, the other being Maine). But overall, the night went pretty much exactly as I expected, and I am very pleased, obviously :D YAYOBAMA!

I watched a piece of his press conference today where he talked about the decision of getting a puppy for his girls, and I was like "....wait, our president is FUNNY AND ADORABLE. I am CONFUSED." It's really bizarre, but I am more than willing to get used to it! :D :D

We watched more West Wing tonight. Gosh I love this show. Gosh I love Sam Seaborn and Josh Lyman. ♥

The MSI/Leathermouth tour sounds AWESOME, but they're not coming to me /o\ The closest is in NJ on a Saturday, but that's a week before my final exams, so I'm thinking.... no. Sadly. But I expect all kinds of glorious shenans to be reported! \o/

I have a horrible weekend ahead of me. Two chemistry tests next week plus a stupid (actually not stupid) cinema assignment that could not have been timed worse. Plus I am itching to get moving on grad school stuff, but I really don't have time to, BUT I also feel the clock ticking and OH GOD. I'm a little terrified, not gonna lie.

I have run out of things to say. Goodnight.

We have cows in Missouri, and my theory is that they are the ones who voted for McCain.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Damn those cows! *shakes fist* ;)

[affectingly.livejournal.com]

Seriously, the night before the election I went to the gas station with my best friend and there were COWS there and we were like, "Oh god, he is going to lose Missouri because we have COWS." But hey, only by like, .2%, so I guess maybe some of the cows voted for Obama...

Are you a Josh/Sam shipper? ARE YOU!?

ETA: Wow, that makes me sound crazy. See, there's some TWW (which I've never seen) discussion going on in my journal and I must know!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Heeee, YES, YES I AM. They are precious and dorky and beautiful and ambiguously gay and I LOFF THEM <33333

[terribilita.livejournal.com]

OH MAN I AM BEING BOMBARDED BY J/D SHIPPERS WHAT. Wow, I almost fell into my first het ship, seriously! :O

Well, I still might, who knows, I have yet to watch, haha.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Lololol. To be quite fair, I haven't gotten to the J/D part of the show (since it does become canon) and while I find Josh and Donna adorable together, the slasher in me is just all OVER the ambiguous gayness of Josh and Sam. There's this flashback episode... well, you'll see. I've already read some pretty epic fic that intertwines with canon, so it's totally colored the lens I see the show through!

[terribilita.livejournal.com]

Ah ok, phew. I thought I'd have to wait for Sam/Will, or so the evil het shippers would like me to think, hee.

[darkhecatemoon.livejournal.com]

I was like "....wait, our president is FUNNY AND ADORABLE. I am CONFUSED."

GOD I KNOW. I...I kinda want to fangirl him. It is so damn weird. XD

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Someone on my flist said Obama's our new fandom. IT'S TOTALLY TRUE!!!!! Michelle/Barack OTP!!!!1!1!11 ;)

[darkhecatemoon.livejournal.com]

YES! Plus, have you seen this? (http://community.livejournal.com/fanficrants/7474890.html)

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I HAVE :D Totally genius <333

[ariadne83]

Gosh I love Sam Seaborn and Josh Lymon

How could you not? Also, I find it very amusing that the inspiration for Josh was... Rahm Emanuel.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

That mere fact gives me endless joy, and also makes me predisposed to love the hell out of Rahm Emanuel :D

1. YOU LISTEN TO MSI?! (I LOVES them, so if you do, I shall be filled with HAPPYSAUCE.)

2. I missed his press conference today (DAMN!), but OMG, funny, adorable & competent - what's not to love? :D

3. ::hugs:: Good luck with all of your exams, bb. You'll do well, I know it!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

1. Ummmm, I'm afraid not really? *hides* I saw them once when they opened for MCR in London, and they were SUPER fun live, but I never really got into their music. I know I'd love to see them live again though. Sorry! (Also their bassist is married to Gerard and Frank is in Leathermouth soo... that's pretty much why I would go!)

2. The puppy clip is floating around everywhere, you should watch it because it makes me want to smish him :D

3. Thaaaank you! Omg scary :( *hugs*

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

Aww, too bad. :( I love them so, but AH, AT LEAST YOU'VE SEEN THEM LIVE! I've not, sadly.

2. Am going to check out teh YouTube right now for it! :D CAN HE GET ANY MORE ADORABLE OMG.

3. ::huge giant snugglies of LOVE:: Channel your Academic!Reaver!Slayer!River & you'll do well! ♥♥

SPEAKING OF JOSH LYMAN, HOW MUCH IN LOVE AM I WITH THE FACT THAT HE'S BASED ON OBAMA'S NEW CHIEF OF STAFF? ♥

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

UM, RIDICULOUSLY IN LOVE? I FEEL LIKE I'M LIVING IN AN EPISODE OF THE WEST WING, FOR SERIOUS. HOW MUCH DO I LOVE THAT SANTOS WAS BASED OFF OBAMA???

The world has gone crazy \o/

[crystal-lily.livejournal.com]

SAM/JOSH WERE LIKE, ONE OF MY FIRST REAL SLASHY LOVES! They are just so, so precious together! The West Wing was my favourite show for years (before I became the fandom whore that I am, I had just one love). HEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

THAR BE SPOILERS IN THIS HERE COMMENT!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

SAM AND JOSH OMGGGGG. *clutches them to chest* Your icon is SO PRECIOUS, Josh with his darling hand on his hip! <333333 I cannot express how much I love the flashback to when Josh convinces Sam to come work for Bartlet, and they're all history-filled and massive hugs and "I miss you" and disapproving of Sam getting married and OH OH I LOVE THEM SO :D

Do you have any favorite fic you wanna point me towards?? I've found some great stuff but it's been a hard search than usual, since it's such an old fandom!

HEE INDEED :D <3333

Re: THAR BE SPOILERS IN THIS HERE COMMENT!

[crystal-lily.livejournal.com]

Lol, this icon is dubbed 'gayest pose ever'. :)

OMG, Shadow of Two Gunmen? My favourite episode EVER (also, gayest, yes). Where are you episodes wise? Have you finished the second season yet?

Again, I fail with fic recs. FAIL. I never bookmark any good fics that I read! You should, however, have a look through notsosecret. They have some really good fics.
