Things that make you go hmmm...

 I am heading to DC in a couple days to attend all sorts of awesome inauguration festivities and party with friends (old and new). I'm thrilled about the whole trip, and my Obama-mania is at a fever pitch. Tonight, however, on the heels of a completely awesome Grey's episode, my husband asked me a question that I couldn't definitively answer.

Who would I rather meet: Barack Obama or Patrick Dempsey?

My love for PD runs deep. He's on my list of 3 celebrities that I get to take a pass on the marriage vows for. After a few minutes of deep deliberation, M finally added that there is no possibility of sex in either scenario, just conversation. So, in the spirit of Obama-mania and the inauguration, I chose Barack, but I'm still a bit conflicted. 

Pluses for Patrick:
- the hair 
- the charm

Pluses for Barack:
- leader of the free world

Decisions, decisions...I'm glad voting in the election wasn't this hard.

Ooh, Obama or Dempsey. That is a tough one. I've seen Obama when he came to speak at my school, but I didn't get to actually speak with him personally. So maybe it'd just be evening things out to pick Dempsey. I kinda want to see if he's that overwhelmingly gorgeous in person. But Barack's the freaking president. THIS IS VERY HARD.

Also, have fun in DC! That's amazing you get to be there for all the inauguration stuff.

Thanks! I am definitely looking forward to this trip. I'm also glad you can appreciate my struggle with the question. In some ways, I was leaning toward PD because I feel like I'm far less likely to meet him in my lifetime. Obama just seems more accessible for some reason. There's not a cut-and-dry answer, IMO. :)

Words cannot describe how excited I am about this trip. I've had everything booked since November 6th, and I'm certain it will be amazing despite the cold temperatures and ridiculous crowds.

I'm a pretty big Obama fan as well. I've been very impressed with him ever since I first learned about him five years ago. It's weird actually having hope and optimism about my country for a change.
