I guess I'm still a pessimist

Obama won. Good. Pretty amazing, actually. Things will improve, though probably not as much or as quickly as I'd like. Or at least not go to Hell quite as quickly.

Prop 8 and Prop 4 appear to be winning in California; I probably won't know the final results before I go to bed, but I'm not particularly hopeful. Damn. It'll be a long, long battle to fix those.

I'm sleepy, and cold, and not as happy as by rights I should be.

I'm not sure why disappointment over 8 is hitting me as hard as it is. Perhaps because it's yet another triumph of hate over love, bigotry over tolerance, religion over rationality. As usual.
