Remember

catharsis

mood: hopeful
Raise your hand if you're sobbing.

*raises hand*


ETA: I almost can't believe I'm typing anything so silly at this point, but. You know at the end of Newsies, when Snyder gets arrested and Denton says, "Say goodbye to the Warden," and the rest of the cast yells, "GOODBYE WARDEN!" and laughs with glee? That's sort of how I feel watching Bush get into the helicopter to fly away FOREVER.

Our professors cancelled classes so they could annex one of the theatres and deck it out with several different TVs and projected live streaming feeds on the wall. It was epic. I bawled.

And ilu for that reference. Among other thinfs.

A true moment of joy. I would have been cying (harder) if I wasn't at work. My boss, his wife, and two of our clients were all here when the Oath and stuff was going on. We (me, Julie, and the male client) were all crying. And just ... I'm so proud of Joe Biden. I feel so priviledged to ahve been able to work for him. He's an amazing man and ... GAH! Sorry. *tearing up again*

It's a beautiful day to be an American.

I was so full of hope that I was (nearly) tearbending.

I cried too. Didn't stick aroung long enough to watch Bush beat it the hell outta there, but if I hade shouted I surely would've shouted "'bye, pooface!!"just like Racetrack in that scene.

I *would* of shouted "BYE, POOFACE!" but I figured that was bad form, but I clapped while the rest of my 4th period mourned for their departed hero.

Oh yeah - I cried on and off all day. We had CNN on in the lunchroom at work, so I went down there and watched (and cried). Then I came home and watched the parade (and cried, esp. when the LGBA marched). Then I watched World News Tonight as they showed people all over the country and the world reacting (and cried some more).
