You know what I am loving a whole lot right now? How totally psyched my friends on the other side of the pond are about this. The fact that you're all still pinching yourselves makes me feel like a whole lot less of a freak, for one thing, but it's also nice to know that, for a change, our electorate hasn't said a giant FU to the rest of the world.
why would we not be? look where the last guy got us.. 2 wars we can't afford and don't want.. our joy is not entirely unselfish ;0)
though really, even if the fates of our nations weren't intertwined in myriad unfathomable ways, we'd still be psyched for you, because he is made of awesome.
(BTW that icon is like totally unfair, because Gordon Brown is awesome in less obvious ways and almost totally incapable of exuding rainbows, starlight and unicorns.. I am not jealous. I am not jealous. I am not jealous... )
Now, come on, you know if I had to pick an icon of any US political figure, and there was any chance of finding one with something British in it, I would not only find it, but be required by law to upload and use it. (I did have to giggle at the person on my flist who thought the 10 was superimposed, though, and wondered if it said 10 or IO. Oops
( ... )
I am still bitter that he did not address the masses when he came here..
we will ignore the bit where i just had to look up the prime minister of France, although to be fair, none of us can see past the Sarkozys... OMG when they go to the White House cameras will just short out from all the gorgeousness. There are not enough pixels in the world to capture all that human beauty in one frame... Speaking of which, one of my favourite things about Tuesday (you know, apart from the history and the hope and the rainbows) was the way he and Michelle were looking at each other.. she actually licked her lips whilst he was making the oath.. they are so cute!!! /shallow
