So don't go trying to organize my bat walks

[sovay]

Rabbit, rabbit! I am preparing to spend the day voting for the future of my state on exactly zero minutes of sleep. Why should politics be different from anything else?

In other words, I am about to leave for the Massachusetts State Democratic Convention. The sky outside my window is full of gold-fringed cloudbanks and still dawn-thickened light. The cats are asleep.

I have no idea if I will get what I want, but I would rather be trying for it than not. I will be counted. We shall see.

I am really sorry to hear about the NO SLEEP thing. Heat, insomnia, or cactus friend, that's never a good outcome. Good luck!

Good luck! Sorry to hear about the lack of sleep and hope you can catch up on it later.

I hope the day goes well despite the appalling lack of sleep. *hugs*

My good wishes and admiration go with you.

Also, sidebar, you listen to Half Man Half Biscuit?! Have we talked about this before and I just forgot? I enjoy their work, and they're also really hard to describe to people. ("...they're this rock band whose humor is tightly focused around specific Brit cultural references of the last forty years that Americans usually won't get, and they have a song called 'Joy Division Oven Gloves'... wait, come back, where are you going?") If they have a song called "Renfield's Afoot" I haven't encountered it till now and I need to fix this.

I don't know the delegates from Cambridge, so I will consider myself virtually represented at the convention by you.

When the Republican Party first emerged, young members organized "Wide Awake" clubs (because they were "wide awake" to the threat of the Slave Power). I'm very sorry for your sleepless nights, but at least you can truthfully say, that in more ways than one, you're Woke.

Woohoo! When I've gone to our state convention it's been like a huge Democratic pep rally. Have fun and be counted!

Look on the bright side: no nightmares!

Thank you for spending some of your limited spoons on politics.

Christ, you word good on zero minutes of sleep. :P My aunt has decided to force me to be a morning person, and she’s only slightly less aggressive than a jackhammer, so I’m also severely sleep-deprived right now... *offers fistbump of solidarity*

Good luck!!

I'm sorry to hear about the lack of sleep. But yay democracy! I hope things go well at the convention.
