Election 08!

I’m live blogging throughout election day! HA! I’ll be watching CNN/BBC to get my updates throught the day! Chime in! (all times are Central European Time)

8:45 AM-A Dutch guy next door, who seems more excited about the possibility of an Obama win, infomred me that Mr. Obama had his first victory! A small one, but a victory!

2:05 PM– YAY PENN! God, i’m wasted. if you dont get another update, that means I have passed out >.<
2:31 PM-I’m quite nervous about this election! I feel the same way I felt when Obama and Clinton were vying for the Democratic nomination. Obviously, with much more to lose this time!

7:38 PM-AT home!. Just cooked a delicious dinner for me and Devynn. Cnn is on!

7:39 PM-If McCain wins, Robert is going to propose to me and I will get to live in the netherlands forever! (true story)

8:00 PM–Dennis sent me a link to a live feed! http://www.justin.tv/jose3030

Lol it has a chatroom!

11 something– Devynn fell asleep. I’m awake! watching the live feed, drinking and skyping. WHOA! first polls close in 10 minutes!

11:57 PM– hahaha, my Dutch kids can now point out Obama anywhere! Check it!

12:25 AM-Kentucky is McCain’s. Indiana is Obama’s! WOOOO

1:46 AM– Did I speak too fast about Indiana?!

2:08 AM-TN is Mccain’s. I knew it. Oh well, Obama has Penn!

2:12 AM-wasted! if I dont update anymore it’s because I passed out >.<

5:38 AM!-OBAMA! IS my elected president! I am so happy right now! Crying Tears of joy! It’s so late/early, but Im going to drink even more!

Oh and Devynn! for being a good sport when I woke her up at 5 am!

You guys really made me feel less alone when I felt so disconnected and far away!

Oh and made me feel better about getting drunk alone ^_^
