I cried.

I yanno...what triggered it was looking through the new "Free To Be You And Me" book that I picked up last week at the school book fair. We've not had a chance to look through it yet, but I bought it without a second thought. I remember this book - and the film - and the songs - and then I read Marlo's intro to the book and started to cry. I'm sentimental like that.

And then I read something about Obama coming into a random restaurant and the reaction he got and I thought about should I ever suddenly come upon him like that, that I would probably burst into tears. And so I did, here, at my desk.

and I feel calmer now, not on such a knife-edge. It's not done, not by a long shot, and maybe I need to read "Crab Sandwiches" or watch "Brokeback Mountain" or "Moulin Rouge". Because...

It's all right to cry
Crying gets the sad out of you
It's all right to cry
It might make you feel better!

Thank you, Marlo Thomas.

*sniffles*

No news from south. I should call, but I don't want to. I don't.

I was pushpolled.

heh.

I'll never hear "Eye of the Tiger" the same way again...
