Jesse!
Having lived in Maine during the last gay rights go round, I am saddened, but not surprised.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ugh. Is the margin at least a little narrower than it was before? We need some crumbs of hope that it isn't going to always be like this every single time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I posted this in Bitches:
The main thing that makes me feel better is, in the long run we'll win. The generation in their 50s and 60s is far more homophobic than the generation in their 20s. The side of prejudice is on the wrong side of history....

It looks like 47-53%, so I think so. A lot more people came out to vote, too.

Jesse! Welcome to your new place!
I am more delighted with each post making Halloween the official most-romantic-Buffista-day of the year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hi Jesse! Hows the new place?
It's good! It's smaller than my old place, which is slightly challenging, but it seems that the stuff I don't have room for is crap I don't need anyway.

Absolutely. I also feel better because now I live in Massachusetts! (Hee.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
See you culled a lot during packing and you will cull more unpacking. I love that part of moving.
Job front?
I am trying to crank out a ton of work and get in front of some stuff, but people keep interrupting me and now allthe copiers on our floor have stopped working?!?

This to me is the biggest bit of good news from last night: Sarah Palin and the Tea Party crowd drove the moderate from the race, but Doug Hoffman still lost the New York House seat. Max Blumenthal on what the GOP’s embarrassing stumble means for 2010.
On a night when conservatives expected a landmark victory in New York’s 23rd congressional district, the movement’s anointed candidate, Doug Hoffman, instead went down in a startling defeat to Democrat Bill Owens. The official Republican candidate, Dede Scozzafava, had dropped out days before and thrown her support to Owens after the conservative movement backed Hoffman in a campaign to destroy her, attacking her as a closet socialist with a cynical, hidden agenda—the same terms they have used to demonize President Barack Obama.
Hoffman’s rejection by rank-and-file voters in a solidly Republican district dampened the conservatives’ mood on an otherwise upbeat night and raised serious questions about the movement’s attempt to purge moderates from party ranks. Now, many of Hoffman’s right-wing cheerleaders are struggling to explain their dubious gambit, while others fear repercussions for their zealotry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In short, now I live in Boston.
That's weird! Last week you were not. Last decade you were not. Your whole life is changing!
Shit, you're probably going to get married on Halloween at this rate.
