Can't sleep. Bush will eat me. Can't sleep. Bush will eat me.

quelonzia's alarm doesn't go off for another 20 minutes, and here I am, wide awake.

Two hours until the polls open.

I'm as excited and hyper and nervous as a kid who's about to take his college board exams on Christmas morning. It's a strange combination of anticipation and dread.

The college board metaphor isn't a bad one. This is like a collective IQ test for America: have we done our homework? Have we paid attention, and learned from the last four years? Or have we bought into the lies and deception of the Bush Junta, people who insist that they can remake reality to their own liking?

Daylight Saving Time is another good metaphor. In the Untidy States, we just set our clocks back an hour -- are we going to set our calendars forward to the future, or back to the feudal, theocratic past?

There's the alarm. Time to post. Time to pace.

Whatever happens, it will be painful.

If Kerry defeats the 700 clubbers, then we will have to listen to the republicans howl, and rant about how Kerry is destroying America.

If the mouth of sauron stays in, then the gloves will come off, and the real damage will likely be done. :|

Still, Kerry would be wonderful compared with bush. But he has shown himself to be a corporate stooge, like every other politician. That disappoints me a bit.

Two hours? My polling place opened at 6AM.

And just remember, Canada awaits should somebody get elected that you don't like. ^_^

Hope you have lots of room on your livingroom floor for refugee herps to sack out, Tomb. ^_^

Actually, I'm still hoping and praying for the best.

Ahh, if only I did. ^^ I think it would be interesting to have oodles of reptiles n' whatnot gathered around.
