Aug. 28th, 2008 05:48 pmI have an Obama pin now! :D :D :D
I spent all day (from 7 AM to 5 PM) canvasing around The Town for jobs. I happened to take a break at a cafe and at the next table there were these three guys on their laptops. I heard them talking, the words "canvassing" and "Obama" came up a few times before I got the courage to ask what they were doing. Apparently the guy who talked to was a regional manager of the Obama campaign. His name was Tim and the first thing he did was ask me if I liked Obama and then gave me his Obama pin. It's attached to my bag now. We talked for a good twenty minutes. He told me they were working on setting up a canvassing system and a grassroots organization in our country (which has been sadly ignored by the Obama campaign). I told him I was huge on Vet's rights and I'd be thrilled to help him out. We swapped emails and phone numbers, so hopefully I can help them out. ♥
I also bought a notebook and spent an hour outlining my NaNoWriMo. I am v. excited.
Are Rachel and David hosting? I heavily approve. Keith and Tweety (and Tom and Joey) all need a fucking time out. As much as all the bickering is fodder for fic.... Jesus people, it's a huge Democratic party. Lighten the fuck up. Ya'll are dramallamas. And right before Rachel (the only levelheaded person all damn week) gets her show. Guys. Seriously. I'm very upset with ya'll.
:wanders off to check email and FList nao:

ETA: I know, I bitch about the HuffPo a lot lately, but I just checked in and apparently MSNBC's boys cannot host a show for a week without turning into something that belongs on fucking Fandom Wank. The term "implosion" is being thrown around and I really want to sit the boys down and box their ears. This is ridiculous. Where are your brains, boys?
Especially you, Keith. Shit like this is why Rachel's my favorite. You are in second and are approaching third. Who second will be, I dunno. I will find someone.
