I also saw Andre Leon Talley in the crowd at Grant Park (on television, I was in Washington where pandemonium broke loose in the streets at 11:05). Couldn't see what he was wearing.
I proposed to Tofu, and Virus. And told everyone on Gawker I loved them, numerous times. Too bad none of you were over my house, you'd probably have enjoyed some oral.
Last night in Times Square, a German tourist turned to me, gave me a great big bear hug, said Danke and started we both started balling. It was like New Years 2000 and the whole entire world was celebrating together.
@pantsonfireliarliar: uhhh. Love this, but "bawling" is what I think you were doing. I'm pretty sure strangers haven't started balling in Times Square since Giuliani was mayor.
I wasn't in NYC so I didn't get to join in the impromptu street celebrations, park rejoicings, etc. I hated being stuck at home in a suburb of NYC.
Today, went for lunch with a co-worker, and ran into another co-worker on the street. I yelled to the co-worker, "WE WON!!!" and the co-worker yelled back, "YES WE DID!!!" and all three of us proceeded to hug, and jump up and down, and exult, right there, in the middle of the sidewalk. I heard a passerby laugh, as if she knew exactly what we were celebrating.
This was a welcome make-up sesh for what I'd missed last night. (Although participating in Gawker's liveblog was pretty fucking fantastic too.) We'd won, and the three of us got to feel just a little bit of what millions of others around the nation did.
I straight up sobbed in the middle of the bar at the Comedy Central party. I also shouted "MALIA AND SASHA" many times when I saw them come out on stage. Yeah, I don't know, I wasted.
