"I love, fucking love living, but I also hate it more than I could ever imagine, which is to say that my hatred for life is ever expanding, ever finding new corners in which to foster itself and develop into a cancer of epic proportion."
i'm just going to start posting things as Oprah till she gets off her laz ass and does some mfing writing.

Superpumped
Rach and i have been glued to the TV all week soaking up the speeches...and last night, my excitement meter tipped over to the raging, obsessive fan category. i am SO proud of the democrats - John Kerry, who knew you had a speech like that in you? The Clintons? i'm sorry i ever doubted your allegiance, i ain't got nothing but mad love for you. Biden? what a great story, and my heart melts at the way he looks at his wife. That, my friends, is all i need to know about his character. good choice barack.
so i'm waiting for Barack's big speech tonight; him giving the speech a fulfillment of Dr. King's "i have a dream" speech 40+ years ago...and i am proud, proud, proud to be here, right now, in this moment of american history. go dems!

Tom Brokaw is a douchebag
Tommy - what whe fuck, mate? did you really just say on national TV that the democrats cannot criticize mccain because "he was sitting imprisioned for 5 years in a vietnamese war camp while bill clinton dodged the draft??" DUDE! you have just lost any shread of credibility that you had.

tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
dear mr. obama:
i haven't been this excited since xmas. i heard today that you are announcing your VP pick tomorrow, and as a supporter of your campaign, i'd like to throw in my two cents.
mr. obama, i love kathleen sebelius, and i'd be happy with biden. she is a rock star, and he is a straight shooter; i respect both of them. however, i'd love it even more if you went completely off script and went with the right choice instead of a safe choice.
i look forward to your text message and email tomorrow morning.
all my best,
k

engagement party
our friends threw us our first engagement party last night. now, i am no fan of anything formal - i don't like baby showers, engagement showers, bridal showers, etc. cause i just think people can do better than formal games and opening up presents. make it fun, people.
anyway, i wasn't even really looking forward to going to my own engagement dinner, though i was extremely touched at the thought of it. much of this hesitation had to do with the great book i'm reading at the moment that i didn't want to be torn away from, but whatevs.
we got there, and so many people showed up, and were so excited...and i got it. i completely and utterly get why people do this and go through the formalities. i loved every second of our night last night, and i even cried a little at the thoughtfulness and, i dunno, lovingness of it all.
one of our friends said we were clueless about how to get married properly and needed a straight, southern woman (like herself) to plan for us two knuckleheads. I wouldn’t disagree, cause well we’re just flying blind….but we’re flying together.

Dear Oprah
You have proverbially left the hizzle. i miss your complaining ass on here. stop re-reading twilight and bitch about something.
love,
gayle
love,
gayle
Thanks for nothing America, you suck.
So getting married to a british citizen is awesome, and planning a marriage is as fun as I thought it would be. HOWEVER. Gay marriage is a whole other ball of wax, and i am really getting pissed off that 1/3 of my taxes is going to a country that makes this life changing event impossible.
The brits, known for their rationalism and common sense, made gay marriage legal 5 or so years ago. Since Rach lives in the States, going to get married there involves staying in the UK for a three week minimum. Taking off three weeks is not only expensive, but not possible with work.
The brits will recognize marriage/civil partnerships from other countries…but now there are fights being mounted in Mass and Cali, and if those ignorant people win their stupid battle to take gay marriage off the table for these states, our civil partnership in Britian becomes null and void. So we have to be extremely careful about where we get married (hello, Canada??) and it all just mars an otherwise incredibly happy time.
Why are Americans so obsessed with this issue, as in obsessed that gay people are happy and doing the nasty? And why are gay people so freaking complacent about it? Ugh.

dear doctor, i need to talk to you about my p*nis problem
sometimes, i amaze myself with my own stupidity.
last week, i sent an email to my Dr. stating that i would like to come and talk to him about cialysis and stopping smoking.
I was relaying this to party foul and cassi last night, of course while we were smoking, and cassi was like, WHAT?! Cialysis is the erectile malfuntion drug!
i wondered what made Dr. Kaufmann respond so quickly to my inquiry. i go see him next week to talk about my new p*nis problem. good times, people.

Le Douche
“Asked about his position on same-sex marriage a year ago, John Edwards said that he "personally [does] not"support gay marriage, citing his religious beliefs as basis for his opposition. Even without the hindsight we have recently acquired about Edwards' own marriage, this was the response of a bigot.” What a douchebag.
I am so sick of hypocrytes, y’all. At least I don’t think obama is one…I really believe he will do what he can to help our people achieve equality, even more so than hillary, who I love. Obama’s responses on the subject are more authentic, more meaningful, and more respectful and courageous than even Hill’s are. Obama is never condescending, and says repeatedly that it’s not up to him to tell gay people what to ask for (marriage vs. civil unions) and has urged the black community to be less homophobic, when he didn’t have to as it’s not really an issue this campaign. I cried when I saw him say that at Ebenezer in Atlanta, which then threw me in a crisis of who to vote for. I went for hillary, in the end, cause 10 years of obsession is hard to break. However, I wonder now if I made a mistake. The more I learn and read about Obama, the more hopeful I get that he can change things and that he is, in fact, different. He says he doesn’t want to be on the wrong side of history, and I believe him.
And the man would have to be an idiot to cheat on Michele, cause god knows she is stunning in everyway. Then again, so is he.

the end of mr. y
i just finished this book, and it's fascinating. not the best book ever written, but its premise mixes quantum physics, university drama, mystery, literature, and essential questions like what is the nature of thought? does thought make matter? did we create god, or the other way around?
I must learn more about quantum physics. i still think it's a mind f*ck that my fingers never touch the keyboard as i type - my electrons repel the keyboard, and all touch really constitutes is just repulsion. So technically speaking, John Edwards (bastard!) never had "relations" with Rielle - and i've never really been with rachel. who knew madonna was so wise? we are all of us virgins on a physics level.
and speaking of Edwards - you know the baby is his! why the hell is he lying about it?

stunning
we were enjoying a fabulous dinner at shaun's friday night, so missed the opening ceremonies. HOWEVER. i did see them online, and i admit, my eyes got a little teary just at the sheer magnitude of human potential to make things beautiful. best. ceremony. ever.
