Finally.
Is it perfect? No. There's a questionable pixel or two down in the lower right corner, but it's not completely dead and it's out of the way, so...whatev.
I have a laptop. And $200...theoretically. I haven't actually seen it yet, but...you know.
And I'm thrilled. Couldn't be happier.
What? Prop 8? Oh...yeah...and there's that. But they've appealed the decision, because when the court decides something, no one ever just accepts it. We wanted to strike down Prop 8 for being unconstitutional. It was. Now they want to strike down the striking down because...well, I want to say that it's because they can't stand to see happy people who believe differently than they do, but it's really because they, too, believe that what they're doing is the right thing, the good thing, the just cause. And I think this will just keep going on...for now.
Everything in life is only for now.
So you won't hear me whooping or hollering or rushing off to get married, despite how much I want to. Because this isn't over, and if this computer debacle has taught me anything, I've realized that the best way to avoid crushing disappointment is to not get too excited about anything.
So forgive my silence on the matter.
Just listen to the clacking of my brand new keyboard and see the quiet little smile of triumph on my face from all counts.
Out

Glad your laptop has finally turned up. I think you're wise not to get excited about proposition 8, but let's hope that decency prevails and people are finally left alone to find their happiness in whatever way suits them best.
