I slept terribly last night, so I’ve been on the verge of grumpiness all day. I was very cold last night, so anything and everything woke me up. I happen to be sleeping on an air mattress in my mom’s sewing room (aka the cat room) since family members are staying with my parents for a, seemingly never-ending, amount of time and they are sleeping in my room. Because the room I’m in is the cat’s room, I have to keep the door propped open. So after being woken up numerous times last night, this morning my mom woke me up by coming in the room, my dad woke me up by printing things, and then again when he came in to get the papers he printed, and then the other members of my family slamming the doors 9 or 10 times finally made me get up. I’m very sad for tomorrow because these last two weeks that I’ve been here, I’ve been hiding in my parent’s bedroom to get away from the extra family, but tomorrow two of my uncles will be working in my parent’s room, so I can’t hide there : ( I guess I’ll have to go hang out outside, but hopefully it wont be as windy as it was today, because if it is that will be impossible.

So I saw an interesting thing tonite. Hillary is conceding. I really did not see that coming – I kinda felt that because she’s been the first woman to get as far as she has in the election process (at least I think… I don’t know too much about that subject since I’m not much of a feminist) she wouldn’t “give up” until or if she was kicked to the curb. The article also says she would be willing to be Obama’s running mate, and I know that many people feel that, if that were the case, she would become president pretty soon due to assassination attempts on Obama. That would be a shame, but I guess we’ll see. Some people are pretty crazy.

I think Obama has a pretty good chance of winning, but then again I’m not so sure I trust the American voting public. What I mean by that is, even if people don’t think they’re racist they probably are deep down without really realizing it; at least to an extent… I don’t know. I think racism is a hard thing to ignore since so many people were ingrained with it.

On to other things… I finished my booklist – for now. I didn’t put down all the books I’ve read, obviously, but just some of the ones I’ve read and am proud to have read and believe other people should read. I have to go take my books back to the library tomorrow since I am going back to Tucson from my parents house, where I am now. I’m not looking forward to that, since the online system for finding books at the university’s library (where I work) is terrible for finding books. I’ll just have to keep trying it, though.

When I look over my booklist, it kind of makes me sad. I should have read To Kill a Mockingbird a long time ago, you know? But then again, I think I can appreciate books more now that I’m older. I think when I was younger, reading was almost a trophy thing to me – I just wanted to read a ton of books to say I’d read them, and not to actually get anything from them. Now it’s more of a mix of both haha.

I guess I’d better get in bed since my uncle’s will be up early hammering and such.

καληνύχτα – aka Goodnite!
