i still have chills

i stood in line for an hour yesterday to vote...it seemed only fair that i stand outside for four hours to watch everything...everything...change.

i still have chills.

we waited in lines, climbed trees, sat on shoulders, took pictures, laughed with strangers and chanted. we held our breaths and 10 pm, we screamed. we cried. we hugged.

the most unreal part of it all was watching a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people hold their breath as obama talked...you could have heard a pin drop.



(watching the city shut down was also amazing...every street was closed with wall to wall people)
