so i had homework due today that had to be done on toned paper, so i hauled my ass over to the wayne art supplies store to pick up materials. after i made my purchases, i was heading back to my car when i got approached by someone obviously trying to get me to make a donation. i told her i was running late and sped off. i crossed the street only to come face-to-face with yet another girl in the same outfit as the first. she began talking to me and before i knew it, i was looking through the binder she had thrust into my hands.
usually i am able to say (ok not really, more like think) "fuck off" and walk away, but they were from the human rights campaign (http://www.hrc.org/), fighting for equal rights for everyone (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, whatever). knowing this is a cause that i feel passionately about, i just couldn't bring myself to walk away from it. i wasn't able to commit to becoming a member and donating monthly... i was only able to make a one time donation, and only for a small amount, but i still felt very proud of myself afterwards. it felt like the time i went and voted for the first time.
anyways, i am writing long ass entries these days. (boring). i am going to go sleep or something.
