OrongeSoda: emily, i've already decided that you are coming no matter what. [re: dec.6]
The Global Fund for Women was very chill last night. ::sigh:: I love getting dressed up for formal events, I'd say it's one of my favorite things to do. We listened to this awesome latin band whose CD I bought in LA on a whim, and it's so good! [I am now burning like twenty copies for everyone :-/] Unbeknownst to me I am on some special board for the Fund? So I got to wear a cool name tag and feel semi-important. I didn't like any of the food, however, I did take quite a liking to the wine. mmmmmm, chardonay! I originally did not want the desert til I tasted Amy's and realized it had Pear Liqueur in it. Isn't it odd how the only times I ever have alcohol anymore are when I'm at a formal event with my mother??? Thanks to the waiters for always filling up my glass!
I very much enjoyed the actual event though. I didn't know what to expect from Mary Robinson, but I was quite impressed and she referenced Evan Boland which made me very happy (then again, how many other famous Irish women poets are there? hmmm). It's inspiring, however cliched that sounds. And EVE ENSLER. ::sigh:: I <3 her, she's so amazing. She introduced four women activists from Guatemala, Kosova, Afghanistan, and Seoul I believe. Then she read a poem. Yay. I wanted to introduce myself, but of course, felt unworthy.
I went to sleep at like midnight, and woke up at 3 from horrible nightmares. WTF? I can't remember the last time I had a nightmare, and I was so fucking scared. I put on Built to Spill, called Ricky, and felt much better. :)
ps - Cassi text messaged me last night which was like the coolest thing ever. I called her back and could hear everyone in the background and it absolutely broke my heart. I miss everyone. ::sigh::
