Well, then.
Nov. 3rd, 2004 04:26 pmDamn. This is not the wedding present I wanted.
On the other hand, I wish I could feel something more than just let down. I wish I could feel strongly enough about this to weep and gnash my teeth and doomsay, and convince myself that our nation is doomed and move to Canada. Or, if not that, I wish I could sincerely turn on the perky-face and believe that it's all going to be okay, and that it's just four years and he's just one man and how bad could it really be, anyway?
I just want to be able to have some kind of strong belief here. I hate feeling bland. This isn't even strong enough to be described as 'bleak,' but it's enough of a shadow to keep me from being truly energetic about anything else positive in the world at this moment.
Hmf. Stupid Bush, ruining my good mood. Stupid Kerry, contributing to the ruin of my mood. Stupid government, intruding on my personal happy-bubble. I want to move to SmartReasonablePeopleVille, where everyone listens and learns and considers the long-term effects of their actions and thinks about each other. And wears natural fibers, and eats good food, and they give you stickers and kittens when you're nice to your fellow citizens. And everyone lives in castles. Big, well-lit castles, with decent heating and air conditioning, and friendly moat monsters. And chocolate has no calories there, either.
Stupid real world.
