i was recently given that gift in the form of politics, something that seems to be in my very DNA. i've been told i've inherited this obsession with the news and politics from my father. Saddly i can't remember sitting with him watching the evening news as i've been told i did on several occasions, but i'm grateful for those times. It's like he gave me the past, present, and the future. My father essentially gave me a front row seat to history as it unfolded. He lived (kinda) every father's dream of giving their child the world, in convenient soundbite form no less.
i feel blessed to have been able to pass the political torch over to my love Pinky.
Together, we've watched debates, primaries, and campaigne coverage of our man, Obama, adorably cheering him on every step of the way. Together, we've found hope in the future, watched history being made, and planned and schemed to participate in making said history. Side by side we've made memories that we'll be able to look back on years from now, and marvel at how they (hopefully) changed our world.
Politics, especially this presidential primary, have had a huge impact on my life, and i hope and believe they've had an impact on Hers. And maybe She would have found Her way into this new territory on Her own, and i'm sure She would have taken note of the history being made on Her own, but i'm incredibly pleased that i was able to bring this world to Her doorstep.
Speaking of sharing, the lovely Starshine (whom im learning is appropriately named) has started sharing her books with us as of late. In typical Starshinery, she's taken to cutely reading to Pinky and i at night. But she doesn't just read to us, oh now. This is Starshine. She takes on the characters. Her accent changes slightly for different characters, and my personal favorite, whispers when the story calls for it. She makes it her own, and thats the best part. And proving my theory that she is indeed insane, she actually ENJOYS reading to people.
Soon she'll be reading the Harry Potter series to us. i can't wait for that. The characters voices have been covered by the movies, so i really want to see SS's (okay...bad initials... >.<) take on them. It should be interesting if not grin-inducing adorable. I hate you double s... you make me sound gay...er. And finally, Pinky and i have been working on a caricature of the three of us that i really like. Especially because it makes me look skinny. But that's just because there was no big boy option. Ah well. i hope you like all the same. i think it sums us up rather nicely.
With that, i leave you with love.
~i love you all and theres absolutely nothing you can do about it.
