Looking forward Oh boy oh boy! It's 2008! The primaries are here! The primaries are here! The primaries are... wow, much earlier than I realized. I've been holding off on getting too emotionally invested in any one candidate, mainly because I've been holding out hope that some governor or senator In Shining Armor would enter the race and whisk me off my feet. But this strategy didn't work for me in high school when I needed a prom date. It's probably not gonna work for me now.
I'm watching the Iowa caucus results roll in here at work, and boy oh boy, go team Obama! A team I've been resisting joining -- until today. This urge to join is similar to how I feel when I sit down to watch sports: excited for the chance to cheer on my team, but a bit sad because I'm sure that my Worst Luck Ever will ultimately doom my chosen champion. (Sorry about the past ten years, Kings, 49ers, Giants, USC, and Democrats.) But when faced with the choice between sitting on the sidelines and getting involved, I'll lean towards getting involved (most of the time, that is -- it depends on how cold it is outside, and whether there's a lot of heavy lifting involved). So volunteering lurks in my future, I think. They're training for precinct captains this weekend. I have always wanted to hold some sort of rank, no matter how meaningless.
This will be an excellent weekend. I tell you this right now. I tell you this even though I have no idea what food item I'll be bringing to the Stone Soup party, even though I don't know if my lightsaber instruction class will let me practice with a broom handle, even though I still have my Bookslut column to write and this one requires a bit of work. I tell you this even though I have no clue as to what kind of difference I can make in this current political cycle, in this current world of ours.
But hey, it's a new year. And my tube top, in case you were wondering? Stayed sexy the whole night through. So far, this year is looking pretty good.Labels: in which our heroine, not quite like the west wing
