I have goosebumps...the crowds, the speech, Hillary -- this is the *best* day I've had in a very long time

I'm so glad Hillary has inspired so many people <3

I kept starting to get ahold of myself and then.....*gasp.*

She's left now, though. And she would totally want me to understand Johnson v Eisentrager. *eyes reading warily*

LOL, I've also been trying to work. Go for it, though -- the pundits have become repetitive (and ugh, Obama's about to speak):P

(I don't know what time it is for you...but I hope you've been sleeping better!)

Aw, thank you. It's only 11 pm here.

I'm not, not really, but I'm taking something else to manage the side effects. I hope that's at least a step in the direction of something better. :)

She is amazing, and my heart turns to mush whenever she mentions the young girls coming with their parents to see her or I see pictures of them together.

She has no idea what a role model she is for so many women, including myself. I look at her and see what she is doing, see the scrutiny she is under, see how much she gets bashed and I say "If she can do it, then so can I."
