Sorry, guys. It is my civic duty to get excited! Also, as someone who's living revolves around whether or not Republican candidates win seats this is very exciting news for me!
Let me know if you're interested in politics at all. I love to discuss, especially with those who usually don't have such an outlet. I am a wealth of information, especially if you want to get involved. I am happy to help anyone (even dirty Democrats...just kidding! y'all aren't all dirty) get involved. This is a representative democracy, so I think we need to make sure the right people are representing us!
Again:
BROWN WINS THE LATE SENATOR TED KENNEDY'S SEAT IN THE SENATE!!!

Transitioning Into Grown-Updom: Loving the Life I Have
I've been reading through my past posts. One such post (which you can find here) discusses my hate of Arlen Spector and has a list of things I'd like to do instead of becoming and adult. Now that I am an adult, I thought I'd make a list of things I'd rather be doing than being an adult. The grass is always greener on the otherside of the...college degree... Then I rethought and decided to make a list of things I like about being an adult. I need to be a little more positive.
As a side note, I currently work for a company that has been hired by Pat Toomey, the man who will either run against Spector or Sestak (the person in a primary against Spector).
Things I like about being an adult:
10. Taylor Lautner has to turn 18 sometime.
9. On Halloween instead of trick-or-treating, you just get to Caroline it up!
8. Talking about the current elections or the 2010 elections is just normal conversation; I don't sound pretentious.
7. I have a job that allows me to wear high heels everyday. If I want.
6. Trivia nights.
5. I can see Harry Potter at midnight without asking my mom. Now I just have to ask my significant other.
4. No homework.
3. Vodka Tonic.
2. Starting my own board game collection (weirdly exciting).
1. A paycheck.
Fabulous. Oh lord. I am still at work for three hours. It is election day. Tonight will hopefully be a good night for the GOP. This McDonnell race looks really promising, which is great considering the last 2 governors of VA were Dems. Creigh Deeds is just an awful candidate--it worked out for us. NY-23 should go to the GOP, as well, but we're going to have trouble with such a right wing conservative in that seat. Moderate is not the devil, people. Moderate is a good thing in a lot of places. There are others, but I won't go on a political rant.
I love you, friends! Come visit your DC!

To My Good Friend 2am
Graduation is now 3 weeks away. I find myself still jobless and without a future. In true LG fashion, I have made a list of what to do instead of getting a real, grown-up job.
10. Spend my time making up fake posts for textsfromlastnight.com and fmylife.com
9. Do something Youtube worthy
8. Change my name to Caroline
7. Tell everyone I'm an artist
6. Live with my parents and take up something appropriate to being in my mid-20s and living at home (Dungeons and Dragons?)
5. Become a Democrat
4. Stalk Zac Efron
3. Go on Millionaire Matchmaker
2. Cry
1. Do as all middle-class white kids who can't find jobs do and go to grad school.
They are, quite obviously, listed from least to most appropriate. And, I mean, there is always the option of becoming a Fresno/Clovis soccer mom. Just kidding. This is a no mini-van zone.

And the freak out commences.
You're welcome, world! I'm letting you win. College, as I've come to know it, is for "suckas." With a PAC paper, a political philosophy paper, a comparative politics paper, and whatever the weather man and the Olympics coach decide to give me I am, essentially, dead.
Don't get too jealous.
Apparently, this is the worst year to graduate. Ever. DC does have a growing job market (especially for the Dems, but no one will believe that I'm liberal), and I will be moving out there in the next two months. That, my darlings, is insane.
The jump from Fresno to DC will be nothing short of vertical. I will trade in the cowboy boots, bleached blonde with black underside hair, and the canal in my backyard that make Fresno home for suits, high heels, and happy hour.
Get ready! Get set! We're off!
