I will post about something else soon, I swear.
I actually did make it all the way through election night without really crying--maybe just because it wasn't truly sinking in. Maybe because of the vodka.*
Today I cried, twice.
First at this poem which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cereta linked to, First Step (Lech Lecha) by the Velveteen Rabbi.
Don't be surprised by tears.
This right here is holy ground.
Take a deep breath and turn away
from cynicism and despair
And second at this videoastolat posted, a rally in Portland reacting to the announcement of Obama's victory. Seriously, seriously crying at this one. VIVA PORTLAND. AMERICA ILU.
* It is really hard to explain to anyone who isn't you guys how I wasn't watching the election alone - to say nothing of how I celebrated - when I was watching with a half-dozen people in the computer box, and the way my living room went wild was the explosion of joyous posts up and down my friendslist. But it was awesome, and I love you guys.
