Epic Day of Epicness lol

Okay so big day today. Obama named president today, *makes happy noise*. Um nothing to be immensely down about, which is a very good thing. I know on here i seem like a super depressed ninny, but I'm not normally. Normally I'm the one everyone goes to if they need advice or something. I am a walking, talking Dear Abby column. But that's to be expected it's in my nature. So on more social news important in my life that i feel the need to talk about: Today I was supposed to actually deliver an envelope to one of my closest friends. Now normally this kind of thing wouldn't be of note, but this was different in the fact that its contents contains remnants of a time in his life when he was very much in love with an ex girl of his. In it contained his favorite pictures with the girl and 3 paper letter he wrote to her-but it was written back to front so in actuality it was like 6 pages long. There were some extenuating circumstances with the girl and to make a long story short another girl entered the picture and everything was torn apart he didn't get back with either and he was left brokenhearted. Of course me being the great friend i am stuck with him through it all. Even though the entire time i, deep in the recesses my heart i pined away for him (no the other girl was not me). But then time passed and he found a few girls to "play" with. I was one of though i did not "play" that much with him, just a few discreet kisses that would be perfectly acceptable in europe as a friend thing so thats my story and im sticking to it. After a while he found his new girlfriend a lovely florida girl. I use the term loosely. I suppose thats the best friend /unrequited crush in me coming out.
Well now that they are together he is happy and thats what counts right? yes, yes it does. Now i just need to make that delivery and cross my fingers that it doesn't bring up any painful memories.
How did I go from Obama to past drama is beyond me. Lol i suppose its what some people would call the ramblings of a teenager or something i don't know. I guess considering i started talking about the significance of the day that i should pick the thread up and run with it again, huh? Anyways big day today. We, as a country, have moved past some although not all idiot ideals and have embraced this wonderful man as our new commander in chief. His words moved me when i heard him speak today after being sworn in. As he looked out across the National Mall at the massive sea of people waiting to hear him, as i watched on Tv today i could only think one thing: Everything will get better. I have a great hope that it will. It all became a bit surreal and did not finally hit me until about 4:30 in the afternoon today. I was watching the news and just listening abbout the Veterens Ball that they were throwing and i feel silly saying this but all i could was that 'Please let this man take care of our military' Because i flashed to my best friends who are now inlisted in the United States Marine Corps. I swear i almost cried.
