personally, i think we should wait and see and not do the mail to a coldplayer thing. i think its better to wait until after christmas than to risk the safety of some cards. lore seemed to agree with me, but wait and see what she says :D

now socialism is something i take more stock in.

so are you promoting anarchy? that's fine if you are, but i'm just not a proponent of it, personally. i worry about people having too much hope in the masses for that to work. i think we need some sort of guidance for society to run. and even though i think politicians are generally slimy like the rest of the world, i don't like blanket statements about anything--i think there are exceptions to every rule. it's much too early to say if obama is one of those precious few exceptions, so no one can make any call. but for now i'm more optimistic, because it's better than living in the hole we have been. it's better to see the sun for a little while, in my opinion, to be in the shadow forever.

same about rainy day; i was expecting something different and more acoustic and calmer. but i still REALLY like it! :dance:

:bigcry: LIT2 :dead: i still havent gotten glass of water in TWO HOURS of clicking, but thank god for recording programs and uploads :dance:

i still havent gotten glass of water, the jerks. but AHH. i was going to be so patient for the release date, but now....i'm BUGGING OUT. and my hand hurts.

LIT 2 IS THE SONG YOU NEED TO HEAR BEFORE YOU DIE. i think its one of my favorite things i've ever heard in my life.

HOLY FUCK. HOW DID I MISS THIS? FUCK CLASS.

yikes. toooooooo much, gwyneth. you have CLASS, what are you doing wearing that?

downloading now. thanks for the recording!! :kiss: i can't wait to listen later.

usually i don't bother to defend myself when i don't really see the need to be defended, but i might as well say that yes, it's intended to be a metaphor, and a celebration of a change in leadership under whatever kind of ruler. and as i said earlier, for right now, obama has the chance of being a savior, of working his ass off to get us at least part of the way out of this huge rut. he may suck, he may fail, he may be worse than bush ever was, but for right now, i'm willing to put all my eggs in the obama basket because its our ONLY chance, and for right now i trust him to take that chance and make something great out of it. it's all about HOPE that he'll come through and make good on his promises, and right now i have tons of that. we can't see into the future, so for right now, i'm participating in this amazing moment in history by being happy, hopeful, and excited to live in a country that has more of a chance than it's had in recent history to heal and make itself better than it's been recently.

i wish i could have listened :bigcry: someone recorded it right? *runs to multimedia to check*

majorly agreed. i actually have had it stuck in my head ever since 11:00 PM EST :D that and viva la vida.

:dance: :bigcry: :dance: :bigcry: that's all i can do for now. coherence comes later.

haha, thanks guys :nice: it's been waiting in the wings for a few days now :dance:

living in an obama america. :bigcry:

i got a fancy new one meself :dance:

i really hope chris is actually a citizen and actually voted. that would be awesome :D

i hope chris spends the majority of the time tomorrow on NY radio talking about this. for once, i'd rather he talk about something other than coldplay. :bigcry: for the first time in years, i'm proud to be an american.

anything is possible, unfortunately. i'm waiting, but who gives a crap about a sig anyway? :P some of these southern states are ASTONISHINGLY close so far...its amazing.

you're right, yes. i feel so good about this though :dance:

i wonder if it's too early to put up a victory sig...:thinking:

i love #3 :D. if these things were possible, i would make all schools small and private by opening up hundreds of new schools and limiting class and school sizes. i would make healthcare entirely universal, allow gay marriage...i'll think of more. i'm not as well-versed in this stuff as you are, though.

hahahahaha, that made me laugh. there are definitely things i would change about obama to make him my perfect candidate, but i don't really have a problem supporting him wholeheartedly, despite my disagreements with him on things like health care coverage and gay marriage. he's the best candidate we have with a chance of winning, and i'll put all my eggs in that basket because it's all i can do.

of course it's too early to tell anything, but the fact that mccain's in the lead right now makes me even more nervy, even if it's bound to change.
