My hands are shaking
Trying to drink a beer and read DU on my Nexus Galaxy. My hands are shaking, my heart is racing. I wasn't this nervous for my first job interview, my first lay, my wedding day or the birth of my first child.
Shit I need to calm down. Don't want to stroke out.

3. I found myself unexpectedly shaking in the voting booth.
|
Odd because it's the same place I've voted for thirtyfive years. Nothing unusual about the scene. But I started to shake and had to re-focus and check carefully that I was filling out the right oval.

10. I'm a nervous wreck.

I simply cannot go through what I went through 5 years ago. My business was ruined by Republicans. I don't know how anyone in my business could vote for a repug after what they did.

12. A) Calm down. B) Change your priorities.
|
And C) Do not tell your wife this is more emotional than marrying her or the birth of your first child.

16. Ha! I may be nervous...but i aint dumb.
|
My point is I never get nervous for anything. I love public speaking, performing, had a radio talk show...
But the thought of that fucker Romney as a president is downright nauseating. |

I had to turn it off. I can't risk a panic attack. The most I can do is read DU for updates.

I'm not even the nervous type, but egads, tonight is just doing me in! I just turned off the TV and I'm going to try to do something and come back when more states have been called (for Obama that is).
I can't take this. There'll be little sleep tonight. |
