the march

[rkt]

i still haven't gotten my shit together for the march
on sunday in d.c.
i have GOT to get my ass moving on this. i hate how i keep trying to subtely screw things up for myself.
i was going to try to squirm in with some college group, but that doesn't seem so possible. so, there's the glbt center, now, and planned parenthood - all offering rides.
i should just email them each one and see if anyone even has space still. and then decide.

bah.

and what the hell am i thinking again?
over a million people??? (and that's a million people BEFORE you figure in the counter protesters...grr.) most likely SUNNY (and hot) weather???? i'll be this pool of gooey rebecca all through the ride home and have to take the whole next day to recover.
but that's what sick days are for!
i tried talking my one of my friends into coming but she said no. the sun. the heat. the crowds. she's not up to dealing.
i completely understand. i'll be there for her.

so, what was i saying?
oh, right. the march thing. in the end, it's not going to kill me. yes, i despise sun and crowds and overheat very easily. but a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do and this is something i'll kick myself for forever if i don't attend. i hate bushie. i hate anyone trying to tell me what to do. some people don't seem to believe in learning from the past, but i'd rather the past not repeat itself. so i'll march.

besides, i told my friend, who re-exiled herself to france, i'd go for her. which is the added motivation i need because i know the hassle i'll get for attending from some of the lovely people i work with and know.
