I do solemnly swear.....

It has been AGES since I've written!.....well, not ages......but a LONG time!! Today, I watched Barack Obama's inauguration. At 12:05 (east coast time.....9:05 here), Barack Obama became America's first African American president. The newscasters were saying that just 60 years ago, a black person wasn't aloud to be in the same part of a restaurant as white people, drink from the same drinking fountain as white people, or even use the same toilets! I think it is amazing that 60 years later, a black man became president! I do envy his daughters though....I would LOVE to live in the White House!!! I read somewhere that they have their own movie theatre, own popcorn tray, and many more things! Wouldn't that be cool to have a birthday party at the White House? Imagine playing "Hide and Seek"!! But, then again, I wouldn't want my dad to be the president because he would be away and working a lot, and secret service people would follow me everywhere!!! I wouldn't want them to follow me if I went to a sleepover either!! And then, after my dad finished being president, secret service men (or women) would follow me until I died!! Well, I am glad though that I was watching the inauguration on t.v. instead of being there!! It would be SO cold!! And so many people!!!! Nathan thought watching the inauguration was boring, but I liked it. It was really the first one that I actually watched. In 2001, I was only 5 years old, and five year olds don't watch inaugurations!! I don't know what else to say, so...goodbye!!!!
