Shook A Little Turd Out Of The Bottom Of Your Pants

Various things have made me very happy the past two days. And I shall share them with you now in the form of a list. I like lists. They make me happy:

• I voted this morning. The act of voting has always made me extremely happy. Today, it made me even happier. Just walking up to the door to walk inside to get my ballot made me smile. Telling the man my last name made me smile. Adding my first name added to the joy. Walking over to the privacy booth to make my mark on my ballot added size to the smile. Feeding my ballot into the ballot eating machine, huge. Huge smile. Putting my sticker on to tell the world that I voted. Walking out. Making eye contact with other voters, who were also smiling. Just....giddy as fuck people! Smiling and happy and filled with glee. For voting. For being responsible and voting and being a part of the process and hoping to be part of making a difference. Just....yeah. Happy. Smiley.
• Seeing Prince on the Grammys. He makes me happy in my pants.
• Morris Day and the motherfucking Time y'all!!! "I got a bear skin rug!" WOO! The dogs thought I'd lost my mind.
• Tina Turner. And watching Beyonce do a sad Tina Turner impression right beside Tina Turner. Come on now! A lame Tina Turner impression is bad enough on its own, but right beside the woman herself? Makes me giggle. Not to say that Beyonce didn't look kick ass in the little dress, but woman please. You are not Tina Turner. Tina Turner is Tina Turner. And she still rocks.
• (yeah....I just watched the Grammy's last night....sue me! And I'm only half way through..) Jason Bateman, even when being lame and reading off of a teleprompter. He's a cute dude. Cute dudes make me smile.
• Jason Bateman bringing out the Foos!
  
• The Foos rocking! Dave Grohl's neck! The Pretender! The rockin'! The FOOS!!!!!
• Being part of a hugemongous crowd of people and not encountering the first asshole. Nothing but niceness. People helping people. People being kind to others. People just being happy to know they can make a difference in some way in this world. And sharing how happy they are. I mean....thousands of happy people in one place. Amazing. I'm glad I was there.
• Realizing that my life has taken a turn for the better. It's been a long time coming. And it hasn't all been happy. But when it is all said and done and I can sit down and clearly look at events, I'll know that I am happier, stronger, and ready for anything. I am a woman. I may even be roaring a bit...

I promise to not always be so cheesy. It's kinda gross, I know.

PS - Any Virginians reading this, get your asses to the place in which you vote and do so. Vote! VOTE!
