I hate that moment when I have something to add to the conversation, type out a long thoughtful response, then at the last second decide it isn't quite good enough and delete the whole thing.  I'm a little tired of this, especially since I think of myself as insightful, and pretty damn funny.  (though sometimes I don't mean to be, like how I had to admit to the people at work that I'm not getting sick, I just lost my voice screaming expletives at the refs at the college football game over the weekend)

Also, this.  Because I am REALLY happy about the election results.  Almost all of the results, in fact.  I'm happy the president gets a second term, I'm ecstatic that my home state legalized marriage equality, very happy that certain misogynistic assholes lost in landslides (legitimately), and also happy that it's over, also casually wondering if I really want to run for office one day.

Observation regarding presidential election speeches.  I have no idea where this Romney who gave an excellent concession speech came from.  He was charismatic and calm, and seemed for once in control of himself.  Was honestly considering the possibility that he has been remotely controlled by aliens for the duration of the election.  If he had displayed this attitude and poise earlier, things may have been different today.  Romney called his wife "the best decision I ever made".  President Obama thanked his wife for agreeing to marry him.  I felt that highlighted a key difference in their world views.  I also think that the Obama's could probably handle another dog just fine, Mr. Meany Presidential Dad.

And hey, I just whipped up a casserole for lunch!  I'm feeling extremely house-spousey.
