I felt a sense of rejuvination. Today I feel an overwhelming sense of emotion. I woke up & it still hasn't hit me that Barack Obama is our President. Feelings of joy, hope, everything. When was the last time our country has been this united? Like, really? We're not united over pain or suffering, but we're all in awe of the change to come in the future years. I agree, Obama has alot on his plate. But it's not all on him. He called on us to work with him. United States of America -- work together. Last night baby&I were on the phone after they had announced that Obama is our president. & I'm all gushing with a whole bunch of "I just can't believe it!"s when babe kind of sighs & laughs. I ask him "What, baby?" & he says, "We were alive when America got its first black president..." I really do believe in President Obama. It's time.
And on top of a
ll that -- it's the effin' holidays! My mom&I got some celebratory Starbucks this morning & to my delight I find that the holiday beverages have made their comeback! When I get that first sip of Peppermint Mocha, I know it's the holidays. Yes, we're in a financial crisis. America's not in the best shape we could be. But because of this newfound hope just in time for the holidays I think we have much to celebrate. I'm so excited for the decorations to go up. The tree lighting & Embarcadero center lighting. Saks Fifth Avenue's snowflakes & Tiffany&Co. sparkling like diamonds of its own. Boyfriend&I always go shopping downtown. I'm most definitely looking forward to our 2nd annual family get together downtown. Last year we met up at SF Westfield Shopping Centre, walked to the tree in Union Square, then filled up a cable car to Ghirardelli Square. When I'm with my fam, I know that's where I'm supposed to be.

be 18. Although I shouldn't say finally because I'm not too excited. I just love celebrating birthdays in general because, not to sound self-centered, but it's a celebration of my life! Birthdays celebrate lives and how far we've come in those years. I don't know what the festivities will be but boyfriend promised to skip school with me. "If the weather's nice, maybe Santa Cruz?" :] Maybe I'll see my sissies in San Jo? Dinner at Frjtz? For once, let's see where my birthday takes me.
