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.

Take your sunscreen and plenty of water.

OOH take an umbrella or a poncho too. As of right now there are a chance of showers for Sunday in DC.

a possibility...

i think there are still some seats left on the bus NY NOW "gave" to Brooklyn College. but the tix are $18 and that's the discounted price. if anyone tells you they're $35 tell them you know about the discounted price and that's the one you need and most likely you'll be able to get it (honestly, i think having to pay to go sux ass but technically the $18 costs less than it would cost you to drive out if you consider gas and the fact that it's coming and going...$9 to and from, etc.). this is if you're in a real bind though. the number to call would be #718-951-5777 and ask to speak w/ Amye, Xinia (zin-ya) or Laini about getting tix for the march.

i much, much, MUCH prefer rain to sun.
i'm dark like that.

even with sunscreen and water, the sun evaporates my energy at an exhorbitant rate.

i turn into the biggest princess during the summer.
give me 28 degrees over 98 degrees anyday.

Have a good time and stay cool.

My mom, brother, and 2 of my nieces are going to be going. End of semester and distance (and money) are keeping me from making it.

i completely understand the whole complications in not making it.
