i know this world is killing you
i move out tomorrow. right now i have tons of tension in my back but i think that’s just because. but its to the point that i can’t really ignore it. argh. i hate it. i guess mom and the family and i are going to go out to breakfast then buy my microwave and tv and then move in. should be fun? eh. yah.
last night lacey and i went to lawrence and had drinks at Free State Brewery then walked to the train station to see Kerry come through. first we went to the long one. which was no big deal cos we were just walking and we got to walk over the river which was fun because water is pretty even when it does make up one of the most polluted rivers in the us. and we were with brian, sam, and spin who were friends of friends or on the campaign. brain/sam were very cool. they’ll be a senior and a junior at washburn this year and they were giving us advice most of the night. it was nice to get to know some boys i wouldn’t usually get to know.
after we got the right train station we stood in the crowd for a while then decided to walk down the tracks (via sidewalk) a ways. we were sitting around waiting for the train to go through and i called colby who was there with taylor/leandra. they came down and we talked for a little while. it was nice to see colby. when the first train (not the kerry train) went through, Sam and I were heading to his car to get a jacket for me cos i was freezing but the train went through so we went back to the huge group of people and i just stole body warmth.
we were by the people with signs that said “kerry kills” and “bush = kerry” and they had reasons why like “they’re pro free trade, anti gay marriage, etc etc” and signs that said “war is never justified”. so ia sked the kerry kills sign girl if she endorsed anyone. and she shrugged and said no. so she was an anarchist. which is stupid. because anarchy is like extremely free trade. anarchy is no marriage. and along the lines of the “war is never justified” kids.. you’re white. you’re standing on american soil. your ancestors killed native americans to stand there. unless you are in some way taking responsibility for these actions.. shutthefuckup.
the kerry train just drove by. but kerry was on the back deck of it so we got to see him. and it was very rally-esque. i felt like a democrat. lots of adrenaline. call me a dork, but i thought it was exciting. even if they didn’t stop.
we went to munchers/java break following the station then we went to miles’ house and had a lot of intellectually stimulating conversation about a plethora of thigns. like not voting for nancy boyda, anarchism, communism, st thomas acquinas, language, and the peace corps.
i got home at 4. mom’s mad because i got home at 3. but hey. what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her.
i’m uber excited about college.
