What a day I had today
Woke up, started the day with a lovely dose of PAIN and agony, inhaled headache tablets, felt vaguely better. Woke up at 6:44, after pressing the snooze alarm button a total of five times. I was supposed to be up at six.. teehee.
Went to shop, help set up front, got pie in exchange for my services, which kia mostly ate anyway, lol. I ate the pastry.
Got changed in school toilets, got many many many comments on outfit, ranging from 'love your socks' to 'why are you dressed like that' which I replied, "I always dress like this." And holly blinked, and asked, "Why..?" which cracked me up.
Got to protest-a-magig, one of the first few there. Established our place, then scuttled off to Gelare for icecream. Now, I'm usually a fairly calm person, but this just IS NOT CRICKET...
They're not making Swiss Caramel icecream at Gelare this month!
I LIVE FOR THAT ICECREAM! *sobs* Now I'm gonna go hang myself
After a mild sad at the poor Gelare girl, not that it's her fault, but that icecream IS MINEEEE, I purchased a shoddy lemon sorbet cone, sullenly ate it. Bought kia a cookies and creme cone and janet a vanilla cone, which promptly melted all over kia's hand.
Pre-protest boring stuff, saw Kyle, I don't think he remembers me... the last time I saw him was at a party where he was drunk, and he was all like "Wassyour name?" and I replied, "BATMAN!" to which he said cheerfully, "HIIII Batman!" So guess Batman isn't memorable
We marched about, stopped traffic in random places, ended up in front of that building. Chanted, sat, blocked traffic, police got pissed off, and drove us back with their horsies. So many people were arrested for simple things, speaking their minds; ignoring police orders; swearing.
They beat a few people with batons, squashed people against the bus stop, and were general scary law inforcers. It's not really their fault, it's kind of their job. And people did NOT need to throw fruit and paint at the horsies, that was uncalled for :(
The highlight of the day was when I made a paper hat, and screamed, "HATS NOT PEACE!" instead of 'hats not war' as I intended. Man that was funny.
Then we wandered off, met Lloyd in forest chase, took artsey photos of kia an' lloyd for my project, then we sat on these steps and talked a bunch. Not much of a productive afternoon, but it was nice. Oh, you two, thankyou so much for being my guinea pigs. I owe you both cookies. (And my little pony videos.)
I'm so exhausted, and sore. And my shoulder's getting worse.. the muscle knots are taking over o_O Maybe I should either get a massage or chop my shoulder off...
