Wherein I talk about the elections

[Sethomas]

Yeah, the local LJ community was getting retarded about like a 10-minute bathroom break for Obama between his Columbus and Terre Haute stops, posting a YouTube with some of the posters in it shaking his hand or trying to shake his hand. Most of this is pining for how important someone is if they happen to have been, at one point, thirty feet away from a potential future president.

It might be hard for you guys to believe, but the local LJ community members sometimes forget how awesome I am. I had to use this to remind them:

Last time I voted for Obama, I think he lived a few blocks away from where I did. I knew that I should follow him around with a video camera back then, but with no YouTube, no formalized presidential aspirations, and the tedium of cross-referencing his teaching schedule with my classes in a totally separate part of campus... it just felt weird to me.
