I spent 8 hours online yesterday, arguing with conservatives and Christians, trying to explain how it was wrong and discriminatory. In most cases, the person I argued with avoided answering my question: why a religious belief held by many should have any place in the state constitution. I was worn out by the end of the day, but it extended my post-election high for an extra 24 hours. Today, on the other hand, has been sludgy. I've been organizing and marketing in my down time before I start scoring a film in Feb, and I got absolutely nothing done. It's 5pm and I'm feeling sleepy, but I'm trying to muster up the energy to get back on track. It's been hard to get back to MY life when I've been spending so much time following the life of the election. I have high hopes for tomorrow...
