I voted yesterday.

As a teenager, you went to stay with Barack when he was working as a community organizer in Chicago. Is this when you feel like you began to know him as an adult and an individual?

He was in his 20s so he was pretty young to be taking over the care of his teenage sister. He took me to several colleges around the country to help me make the good decision about where to go to school. He let me stay with him and helped me get my first job. He took me to festivals and fairs and museums. He enrolled me in classes at the Art Institute of Chicago, and I studied dance there. He was awesome! He showed me his life and an impressive dedication to service. I was a teenager then, and our relationship really hasn't changed.

-- so sayth Barack Obama's little sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng.

Greatest big brother ever! As a big sister, I approve of this message.

Also: Fantasy Football. Barack Obama takes that shit seriously.

In other news: got drunk with Cooper last night because he lost his job. I am still hanging with him.

Oh, ouch. I saw him a few years back at the county office, but my mom hasn't seen him and she's been bleeding blue the last few months. I'm sure it'll be packed, but it has to be worth it. I'm expecting tears at the very least.

How was it at Cashman field?

Kind of dull, tbh. I only went because my dad and little brother hadn't gotten the chance to meet him yet, but when I was living in Chicago I went to the kick off of his book tour and like, actually shook his hand and exchanged words and stuff.

So it's not really comparable.
