Election and Aftermath

[fangirljen]

I'm happy for everyone who supported Obama and that he won. You know, it's weird, though: I know this is a historical event, but I'm of the mind of "Okay, so his skin is black. Glad it finally happened because it really should have by now." Makes no difference to me the color of your skin, or your gender, but if you have good ideas, that's what counts. So, I'm partially like "Yeah, let's get started already!"

The only real sour note is my disappointment in California, Arizona, Arkansas, and Florida, the states that either want to outlaw gay marriage, or, in Arkansas's case, outlaw gay couples' right to adopt children. So, on one hand, we've show how far we've progressed, and then the other, we haven't progressed enough. The props that were on the ballot in these states enrage me.

Okay, but politics aside, I just had my evening lightened up by watching a few Petrelli scenes from "Villains" with thanks to Pandora Rose's thread. Wonderful! :D You really get to see the dynamic of the family in a couple of the clips. I'm also glad and pleased that writers are getting back to eriksavatar. Her news made me very gleeful, too.
