I heard this rumour that something was happening in America...?
OK, I'll be sensible. America are voting for their next President tonight (our time). I am TERRIFIED. There are basically two reasons for this:
1. Sarah Palin. God, that woman scares me. I wake up from nightmares in a cold sweat and screaming in which she was chosen for vice-presidential candidate...and then I realise IT'S ALL TRUE.
2. The possibility that McCain might be elected. This used to be OK, on the grounds that he's old and natural causes or forced retirement or something might take him out of the picture soon; now it's NOT OK because he's old and if he gets taken out of the picture, we get probably the most powerful country on the planet being run by a woman who doesn't know whether it's Pakistan or Palestine Israel's got that problem with...
I am NOT going down to the Union to watch live coverage; I choose to spend tonight sleeping on my brand-new mattress (hopefully I will recover from the back pain the old one gave me...) for possibly my last night EVER of safe, peaceful sleep in a relatively sane world.
I so don't want to see the words "MCCAIN WINS IN LANDSLIDE" anywhere tomorrow morning.
