I'm happy, too. But I'm also still worried about the reactions in some quarters.

I voted....yeah...and Obama won...double yeah!!!

I'm guessing you're already on the road, but I wouldn't be me if I didn't wish you a safe trip to & fro, Ms D. Sorry about the noise--must have been me screaming at my TV last night watching the SNL bash, or maybe Olbermann, Hardball, AC360, Rachel Maddow, or could have even been when I started tearing my hair out listening to Orally--I mean, O'Reilly (sorry, Freudian loofah, I mean slip) ... ()

I may be taking it easy this week but I won't be getting any sleep either (due to excessive noise). Now got to go and vote....yippee.

Glad you liked it (the virginity bit). Apparently its a bit more serious than I thought though--it seems that the vast majority of people in their mid-to late teens wind up losing their virginity at some point--the FBI, CIA, MI-11 (that's MI-5 plus MI-6) are involved, as well as the Men in Black, IRS, KGB (your thought they were gone?) & Interpol are all on the case. This is big, and I mean seriously big! Churches are involved, governments are involved--America's Most Wanted may even wind up doing a segment, along with Unsolved Mysteries ...we're through the looking glass here, Ms D ... (). Read your journal entry--its always funner to be the guest as opposed to the host or hostess (at least that's the theory--I personally have had it up to here with philodendrons--that's me, the guy in the corner listening to the potted plant rabbit on about fertilizer, photosynthesis & osmosis--yawn!). Anyway just having a little fun with ya! Glad you're taking it a bit easier this week--its good to decompress and let the stresses wash off--

Hahaha...that's cute (the virginity convo).

Just an FYI, but there's, apparently, a 5 in the AM now--when the heck did that happen? Not only that, but there's a 4 AM, too! The only good thing was that I got to watch Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law for the first time in I don't know how long. Have a great day, Ms D! (Hope you got to sleep in a bit, too). Hope the bask was a smash

Happy Samhain! Hope you find time to make your costume (hope the shoots & meets went very well for you, too). Have a great day & fun all hallows' even !!

Okay, so I thought about PMing you with this, but then on second thoughts thought maybe it would be okay here. Now, first, I'm not going to ask you when you lost your virginity or anything like that, but I'm just curious if afterward (and this could be the 1st time you were with a guy or girl), say the next day, did the conversation go like this:
"OMG! I lost my virginity!"
"Lost it?"
"It was here last night--you haven't seen it, have you?"
"No. Where'd you leave it?"
"Where do you think?"
"Just asking. Crap, know what?"
"What?"
"I lost mine, too."
"What the hell? Where'd you leave yours? Oh, right ...stupid question huh?"
"You think?"
Hours were spent searching high & low, with neither virginity being found.

Hi ya, Ms D--late "start" for me today. Actually its time for me to go to bed. I spent my day trying to reorganize my family tree stuff, while downloading the latest FTV update. Before I go, though, I just wanted to finish the day off by wishing you a terrific tomorrow and to quote Sha Na Na (I loved the show in the 70s, and sang this little ditty to my little bro every night when he was little),

Goodnight, sweetheart
Well, it's time to go
Goodnight, sweetheart
Well, it's time to go
I hate to leave you, but I really must say
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight
