Bootleg Election Post- will be revised

Michelle, Palin, Highly medicate Cindy McCain

The Decor

Yesterday is something we all will remember for the rest of our lives. Not for any one group, not for any one people, but for the way we as a people have learned what inspiration and hope can create. Once again I am proud to be an American.

The day before the election, we went to see SPAMALOT (which is the best thing ever). While there a bunch of people talked to us about how Bush was so horrible and how America was such a joke. 

I must say I am not the biggest nationalist, pretty hard after 8 years of Bush, but I will not allow people to say that I am an unintelligent, redneck just because of one nut. I told that man that we were smart and capable people. Just because we had a bad president does not make us bad people. I think Obama shows that America realizes are mistakes of the past and is ready to create a better world. 

Our election party- Nailin' Party- was a success. I stayed up the latest, 3 a.m., and sent e-mails to Emeri in Japan because she had class. I went as Michelle Obama. When I fell asleep it was pretty obvious Obama had dominated. When I awoke at at 8 a.m., I heard Obama had won and burst into tears of joy. 

I am so proud of the country for making the best choice for the world and for us. 

Once again, I am proud to be an American! 

"America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this."- President Obama

I am going to be in Scotland the next 4 days so there might not be much. Happy Change!

Condi Does London: Halloween Edition

Condoleezza

Mere Bear and JQ: the Ninjas

Happy Belated Halloweeny Beanies!!!!!

I hope everyone had a great night of mayhem and mystery. I know I did, not that that should surprise you. 

The night began on a journey to a few thrift stores. JQ and her friend from high school were looking to finish their costumes. London has the best random thrift stores ever and when you enter one it's always a treat (no pun intended). While there JQ's friend found a great 80's style prom dress and decided to be Sarah Palin after winning the Miss Alaska beauty contest. While there we met the wildest English boys of all time, who decided to put together a random assortment of clothes that turned one of them into a very strange woman. From the moment on I knew it was going to be wild.

We returned home and after making myself a burger, which is officially my favorite dinner to eat in England. I worked really hard to perfect my costume and finally I was ready to show my costume to the world. I exited the room in full on Condoleezza Rice gear. 

The night was really fun other than that. We went to the boys' flat and hung out. Then we went to the Ministry of Sound. This club is supposed to be one of the best in the U.K. and it definitelylived up to this statement. There were 2 huge rooms with easily 1 billion people in each. There were flashing, flashing lights, lights and fog machines. The music was pure wildness, just the basically the same bass over and over and over and over. Honestly I could say I am a party animal, but I would never be able to go to a club like that every night. It was so wild and so intense. At one point, I was trying to call my friends to find out where they were and I walked into a sub woofer. It took me a while to realize why I could not stop vibrating, but once I did I ran out of there like a bat out of hell. It was like being a pin ball. 

No one recognized me and I had to tell people. In retrospect I looked more like a blend of Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama, which is not a bad thing at all.

The night ended with getting lost, meeting random people in the 24/7 mart down the street, and finally in sweet surrender to my beddy bye. All in all it was a great success.
