It was terrifying. When they won the whole shebang, the whole place pretty much exploded. Wish I'd been there for the Obama win!

But I was too busy tearing up over the acceptance speech and the promised First Puppy and Obama calling Michelle his best friend and stuff like that. Basically I was running a three way chat with my boyfriend and my friend in Oregon about how awesome we find the whole Obama family and how cute a First Family they will be.

In school today, the first thing everybody said was "Yay! He won! Thank god!". So excited, we were even giving "Obama Hugs," and I danced down my street today. Yay America! I know!

It's been so exhilarating seeing history in progress with such enthusiasm propelling it.

There was a spontaneous demonstration of Obama supporters at the White House and U street pretty much turned into a giant block party. Things were similarly enthusiastic here in DC.
