You May Have Seen A Million Entries About This, But This One Has Pokémon.

Obama won! Obama won! I sort of wanted to dance my way into campus today. Thank you, America!

I feel that this really could be the start of a change for the better. Had I any video-editing skills, I would replace Troy's head in 'Start of Something New' with that of Obama. Possibly Gabriella's head, too.

I think it is probably for the best that I do not have video-editing skills.

I'm very disappointed that the various gay marriage bans passed (even in California! I EXPECTED BETTER OF YOU, CALIFORNIA), but I've heard the exit polls (whatever those are) showed that younger voters were voting against them, and that means that this is the future. The discrimination will end before long. We just have to be patient.

Here is my welcome to you, Mr President-Elect. I am sure you have been watching my journal with the same excited anticipation I felt when I woke up this morning and went to check out the BBC News website.


Congratulations, sir; you are a true Pokémon master. All political posts should include Pokémon, really. Also, I just somehow mistyped 'center' as 'sam'.

Well done for the self restraint of making it to your computer - I reached for the previously untouched internet function on my phone this morning. It was important that I knew while I was still, about, 70% asleep.

George Takei needs to hunt down everyone who voted for the gay marriage ban and slap them hard and square in the face. I believe it is only fair.

I fully support your plan.

(Seriously, my uncles were talking about marrying their boyfriends they'd been with for decades, but people feared they'd turn children gay with marriage-rays or something?)
