election day 2012 through the eyes of a 12 year old

happy election day! these are some of the political figures on my 12 year old's radar. the bottom guy is the governor of California, Jerry Brown...with a tan. and since our last name is O'Brien, apparently Obama needs an apostrophe as well. I must say I love Clinton's chic black dress! anyhow, based on Obama's dreamy green eyes in this picture, he has my vote...but I really really really hope I can vote for Clinton in 2016! 

this guy reminded me to have hope.

 this visitor decided to hang out on my window right near a sticker i had applied almost two years ago when the mood was very hopeful. my mood has changed since then, a more frustrated, cynical even paranoid mood has replaced the hope that was sooo strong then. but...i'm going to take this unexpected visit in an unexpected place as a sign and a reminder to be hopeful and optimistic. maybe naive, but it just feels better.
