Well I'm assuming it will be a perfect night. I can think of a gazillion things that could go wrong.
We are going to see Mama Mia tonight and I am super excited. I love going to Broadway shows and it's even more exciting because I've never seen this one before. I want my work day to be over so I can hurry up and see it! I'm very very very excited.
And then, Wrath of the Lich King comes out tonight at midnight! I'm very excited about that and my four days that I'm going to play. I can't wait! Maybe I'll post a pic of my rogue so you can see how BA she is now.
I hope all is well with you. Wish me luck and I'll post some time this weekend to let you know how it goes :)

Wedding Planning 101
So I don't want this to become a blog all about my engagement but it will be heavily about that as that is on my mind.
J has nipped the situation in the bud so to speak to keep me from going overboard with things as he know that I can. He said it might be a good idea to think about it, but not every day as it's so early in the project. I'm glad that he did that because I was really starting to stress.
If I had more money this wouldn't be an issue and then I could have whatever kind of wedding I want. I have to find a balance between what I want and going into debt for just one day. I know what will cost the most, the reception site and the pictures. I can see that being easily close to $4,000 in itself. But J has suggested some ideas that might cut costs that wouldn't sacrifice quality. I just want the day to be special. I know things will go wrong on that day because it's bound to happen. But I'll document my journey here, for all of you all to see.
I'm just happy to be marrying J. He loves me for me. And no matter how annoying I am, he still loves me. Thanks J. This is going to be a wild and fun ride and I can't wait to share it with you.

There Is Hope
It's been an exciting and tumultuous week for me. I became engaged, J got to meet two of my close friends, and Barack Obama became president of the United States. One of the best weeks I have ever had.
Although this victory means so much to a lot of African-Americans, it is not only our victory. It's an American victory. That's something I really do believe in my heart. Everyone who voted this election voted from their heart, and with passion. I know there are hard times in the country, I can see that every day, but I have hope that it will get better. Bad times don't last forever. As I watched the television I could hardly breathe. I almost thought it was a dream and I would wake up any moment.
A part of me worries that America will claim that there is no racism anymore because we have a black president. Any sane person knows that's not true and we still need to fight for what's right.
Right now, I am full of joy and I can't wait to see the joy on my parents' faces. I hope our country can now get behind our President and not be like those Republicans that booed Obama at McCain's concession speech (shameful!). So I will leave you with one of J and I's favorite songs off of the Girl Talk album. It's called Like This.

Get out there and Vote!
The polls are only open a couple more hours in my time zone. If you haven't, please get out there and vote. It makes a difference and some people don't even have the opportunity to vote.
J and I were watching the show 30 days the other day. It was the one where he and his girlfriend has to live on minimum wage for 30 days. They knew it was going to be hard but they thought that they would be ok. They found jobs and realized that it wasn't as easy as they originally thought. The hard work caused them to be hurt and they had to go to the emergency room. They had no insurance and thus had huge bills. They didn't have any kids and acknowledged they didn't understand how people made it who had kids. This episode made me so mad because this is what I see. I see people who can't afford basic things like food and healthcare for their families and politicians think that if they give tax breaks to the wealthy that it will trickle down. i want to ask them if it's working. It hasn't worked yet. People talk about the socialization of the health care system. I don't think of it as socialization and these people would rather have people with no health care hurt and sick because they can't afford the doctor's office. I was so mad I wanted to scream. I want every elitist to watch that show and tell me what they think.
And with that. I'm going to leave you all on a high note. This is the last song on Girl Talk's album, Feed The Animals. Listen to it all the way through, you'll like it. Listen to his other stuff. His mash up albums are amazing. Just go to You Tube and search for Girl Talk.
