Yes, you heard me correctly. This is what Ted Strickland called Obama during a tongue-twisting cry for support at the rally Thursday night. This blog will perhaps be one of the longest and heartfelt that I may ever post. So prepare yourself my children.
It all began Thursday after school. Miranda, Aaron (yes, self-proclaimed Republican Thompson), and I left the high school to attend the rally. But first, we had to make a few stops. First, Heather Tussey's boyfriend's house to pick up Aaron's camera, then to get gas (Aaron's father's truck if a fricking gas-guzzler), McDonald's for a quick bite, and finally, we found ourselves crossing the bridge to our destiny or destination. As we entered the campus, we saw the line, the line that seemed infinite (which in all reality a line is infinite, so really this was a segment).
We waited 3 hours in this line but Kudos to Ally for waiting even longer. Finally, we entered the Alumni Green where we waited another hour and a half because Obama was late!!!! Anyway, in that hour and a half, I received a contact high. Yes, you heard me. The sky above me was foggy from smoke and it wasn't from cigarettes. The he-she standing about four people away from me was smoking that Mary Jane. He-she wasn't the only guilty one though. A man was escorted out of the rally for smoking a joint (his excuse: Parkinson's) by the incredibly handsome Secret Agents. The waiting was miserable. By this time, there was a whole group of Greenup County homies standing around listening to the same folk pop , I love America music over and over again. Mr. Parsons made a good point, " Why all the folk pop when they should be playing Barack and roll?" I laughed even though it wasn't that funny, at least he was trying to keep a positive attitude. At one point, I had four people touching my butt, so I was very uncomfortable and a little on edge. Finally, the moment we had all waited for came. Senator Barack Obama stepped into the spotlight and into my heart. Yes, I often go back and forth on presidential camdidates even going so far as to say Obama was evil at one point. I deeply regret that comment. Anyway, he was as eloquent and thought-provoking as he always is and I left that night feeling fulfilled. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I wouldn't have traded it for anything, not even Hugh Laurie or John Mayer. Even though some of you may dislike or even hate Barack Obama, you must respect him. He has accomplished so much in spite of his limited experience. I am not one of those people who will try to pesuade you to vote for Obama, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But I for one believe Barack Obama is the "Change We Need". Yes, that was very very corny.

Oh my lord I waited from 2:30 in that blasted line! I had to pee before we even got in the Green and when he started speaking my bladder forgot, thank goodness.
On the barrier, ho. That's me. I took so much audio.
And I got a contact high too. There was a posse consisting of a professor, an older man in a tweed jacket, a small girl with very pretty light green eyes, and her boyfriend who was balding...all toking.
I couldn't help but to laugh.
They didn't get caught though... =/
Oh well.
I'll tell you my tragic creepy person story at school as it is not so suitable for the school blogging world.
