Sleep? What is that?

[the_milky_way]

So I admit I got caught up in the electorial coverage.
I wanted to go to bed and sleep but my mum was still awake, on the phone and she was kind of loud with the doors, so I was still awake around 2am and just thought I'd look into the coverage to get an overview and then go to bed.
Yeah, right. I think I slept a little in between but I was awake enough to see Obama's speech and then get a call from my cousin.
I didn't expect him to call. He sent a text first and asked if I was awake though. I hadn't spoken to him in a while and he was close to Times Square and it was loud. Really loud.

I know how my family voted and I guess in this case it's nice to see that votes do count.
It was interesting to zap between the different channels and the different ways of coverage. I liked that the ZDF was invited to work from within the American Embassy, it worked quite well.

I just wish the Prop 8 votes would have been anything but what they are. WTF?

I think I'll take a little nap now and will go shopping with my mum later. We need food and I need to get more tea (because my throat is burning *hides*) and I maybe need cookies.

I have a posting date for the challenge story. Yay. :)
I'll go over it again and maybe change some minor things but the main core will stay as it is and I am actually strating to like it

Huh... I stayed up as well and now that you say it. I am disappointed that my cousin didn't text me yet O.O Damn.

Anyway, catch some sleep sweetie *hugs*

Awww... my other cousin didn't text either, but than again he is stuck in Utah, maybe he hid or something.

I did actually catch some sleep.. LOL

I barely stayed awake for Barack's speech, which was incredible. Stupid delays with local elections...

I'm sure it was loud - they kept showing Times Square and it looked almost as crazy as it does New Year's Eve.

[the_milky_way]

I went to bed after the speech as well. :)

Yeah, it looked really crazy and it sounded crazy as well. :)

You stayed up and watched it??? Wow. That would have so killed me. I totally missed the whole election thing yesterday. Totally went by me. But I am glad he won.

YAY...you got a date. When are you supposed to post it? Can you tell? Or is it a secret??

[the_milky_way]

Oh I forgot to say that in the other comment, hope your internet holds up now.. *hugs*

I was still awake and somehow got caught in it. I guess if I had to be up in the morning I wouldn't have done it. :)
This way I got to talk to my cousin for a while.

Oh I think I can say it... but to make it more interesting.. 11 days to go.. LOL :D

And yeah, internet is back to normal :D

[the_milky_way]

Dude, I don't even know what to say to the Prop 8 thing or to the fact that three states managed to say yes to it.

I don't get why people are up in arms about it if their lives don't change one bit by allowing it.. *grumbles*

LOL, I stayed up and watched it on several TV stations. I had fun switching between channels and see all those different numbers and projections.

[the_milky_way]

Hi there. :D

Yes, the last time was before my birthday. He is pretty busy so it was cool.

Heheh.. I love cookies, too.
