Yeah, welcome back!
Good to see a lot of familiar faces popping back in!Today I'm annoyed because Donald Trump is setting up his election headquarters right next to my work
I'm definitely planning to be elsewhere on Tuesday.

As for Trump, I can only imagine the shitstorm waiting to happen on Tuesday
I went around to a bunch of garage sales today to see if anyone had old junk computers I could cannibalize for parts, but no one did. Old junk is apparently getting hard to find these days 
Now if I had wanted old Red Skelton VHSes and smashed LCD TVs, those could be easily had
I did at least get a pair of pliers for a buck XD

I'm always amazed by people's op-shop hauls, given that the stores here are full of garbage, although I think it might just be a symptom of where I live.

I hope all you Americans reading this voted today
WTF US, I was sure Hillary would win!
I'm not very political so I might not be the right person to talk about the election, BUT
this is a disaster! I watched a documentary about the election a couple of nights ago and the one thing I don't get is how all these poor people want to vote for Trump! Do they seriously believe he will do shit for them? Also, what's funny is that many Americans doesn't seem to think about foreign exchanges etc. I'm guessing most muslim countries will decrease their US relations and I've seen it as most Americans don't care about that...like it or not, America might be the most influencial country in the world but America can't do it alone...
It pisses me off concidering how many racist, homophobic and just pure idiotic things Trump has said, and knowing that most americans voted for that... X_X

He is going to make America great again!
I follow the election on tv, and there's 1 reporter with Hillary supporters and one with Trump. One of Hillary's voters came up to her asking if she was swedish, adding she would like to move here now since it seems like a kind country, while the other reporter was told to fuck off by a Trump supporter... lovely

I went to Wuxi/Three Kingdoms City over the weekend and Disney again. I met Belle this time and was starstruck and so silly. She noticed my BatB sweater and said, "You must know all about my story!" I said, "Yes I dooooooooo :BBBBBBB" She told me to try the grey stuff and asked if I'll meet Lumiere and Cogsworth later. I SAID YES I WILL!!!!!! (I also met Jack Sparrow, Aurora, Stitch, and Snow White, but Belle was the only one I was getting seriously speechless with.) I was so happy.
I also saw the pirates stage show and ate a Mickey pork bun.
Later on to see the fireworks show I had a really nice moment. It was raining at that point and I didn't have an umbrella. They also weren't selling cheap ponchos so I had my jacket over my head, which was getting damp. I saw this older Chinese woman standing with an umbrella, but I didn't think much of it. We were leaning against the same railing and we had another thirty minutes to go until the show started. I stood there and then she tapped me. I looked and she tapped the spot of railing next to her and motioned for me to come under her umbrella. I said thank you SO MUCH and we shared it. I felt happy being lumped together with her, her daughter, and her granddaughter.
She made sure to cover me the whole time, even as I moved to get a better shot. I thought that was the real magic right there!
I also dressed up like Zhugey for a photoshoot at the 3K City. They asked if I wanted to be an empress, and I said no, I want to be Zhuge Liang! It was the set of the 1990s series of Three Kingdoms and the original sets are still there. It's now huge and beautiful, with gardens, pavilions, a small amusement park, and boats going over the beautiful Lake Tai. They even had speakers playing songs from the show, like Zhugey's song, Zhou Yu's Drunken Sword Dance, Lu Bu Meeting Red Hare, Zhao Yun's song, etc. They had statues, themed restaurants, ships, games, etc. It was so beautiful. I have to go again.
The end of the day there was a re-enactment of the three brothers (Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei) fighting Lu Bu, complete with an arena and horses, and men dressed up like the brothers and Lu Bu fighting with spears and swords on horses. It was super cool. I'm so glad Three Kingdoms still is appreciated by so many people too, young and old! They knew the story being re-enacted, but they still went, "Woah, Liu Bei!" as though this was the first time they had ever heard of the story.
Seriously one of the best weekends I ever had.

Go you, being yourself and all that. Funny that we're so encouraged to think for ourselves and follow what we believe in, as long as it is what the crowd sanctions as acceptable.
Holy shit, unbelievable. :/ Was not expecting the results of the elections tonight, but I guess everyone should've been preparing for the worst.
Well, that's it. Effectively no one is in charge now. I have no idea what happens from here.
I am legitimately terrified as to what the next four years will hold.
On the plus side, California has legalized marijuana
