"We threw a mad party"

Friday: The Historic ("Old") Women Party was more successful than I'd ever dreamed. I will never forget what it felt like to go down to the Strack Dos lobby and let in Lucy Burns, Alice Paul, Marilyn Monroe and Hilary Clinton. Frida Kahlo, Susan B.

my consolations. i actually had a moment when i dropped kristin off at the airport where i had to sit down because i felt nauseous (no idea how to spell that word). i'd hate to be one of those people that constantly compares their pain to yours, but i feel sort of empathic in this circumstance. it's just hard to believe how beautiful and blissfull your insides can be one moment and then how tumultuous and unnatural you can feel the next. life sucks.

this is true. but it's cool to know people in similar circumstances who make it work. you know how it goes--everybody wants to tell you how much long distance cannot work, even if they've never tried it. which is lame. so cheers... to someday not having to say goodbye,
