I’m tired. It’s clear that I need to go to bed. Yet here I sit, munching Tootsie Rolls (it’s been a junk food day), and listening to the train pass by outside. And I will be tired when I wake up at 8:00 AM.
I deleted the [former] previous entry, the silly ‘A-to-Z Survey,’ because I ended up finding it too silly even for my taste. And that’s saying something.
Last night (well, I guess now technically I should say two nights ago) Chris and I went to a meeting in Athens, sponsored by the Athens Global Justice Collective, called “The Next Step.” (Patrick had a blog entry about it.) We got there about 45 minutes after the meeting had started, and I, for one, was amazed when I walked in the room, at how many people were there. I was pleasantly surprised. And the meeting ended up being a good one, too, not just a “meta-meeting” — people sitting around talking about the logistics of the meeting. Afterward, a bunch of us went to dinner at Transmetropolitan. So anyway, now I am all fired up (even moreso than I was to begin with, since last Wednesday) to get out and work for change, dammit! We can DO this! Get Out the Volunteer! (<– Thanks to Chris for that one.)
The Human Rights Campaign sent me a Word document a couple days ago, which I need to peruse and I assume fill out and send back… and I need to call and talk to them, since their next volunteer orientation isn’t until January. I also sent in an “I want to volunteer” postcard to the Sierra Club, which, like UNICEF, has its Southeastern headquarters on Peachtree between home and work.
Ok, that’s all for now, another rambling few paragraphs. Off to Bedfordshire. The next entry might be titled “Thoughts on Singletondom”, or somesuch. Or it might be about some newly discovered CSS quirk. Or it might be another entry about how excited I am about Abby and how I can’t wait to see her next weekend. :-)

Think “Thoughts on Singletondom” would be appropriate, with Bridget coming out on Friday… V. exciting.
So that’s what that was.
