Lawdy, Lawdy!

Home again from E.L. It was a crazy weekend, filled with sugar, chocolate, lectures and activism and topped off with some more sugar. Sugar on the side, too. I could not even believe how much candy was available and consumed by us poor little Voxers!

We got out on the streets gathering signatures and getting some interesting reactions. Did you know we don't need healthcare, all we need is abstinence? Apparently abstinence is much more impactful than I ever realized! On day 2 we did door-knocking to get more sigs. Boy did that suck. No one was home!! And it feels so intrusive! (i felt dirty)

Saturday night was . . . an example of glorious excess. The hotel bartender was way too friendly with his product and wanted my "I (heart) My Vagina" t-shirt so bad he offered free drinks in trade. Yow. Seems that when something is free, there is a drive to consume twice as much of it. Both of us were happy in the end, tho!

Travelling home was painful. Partly because of Saturday night :( and partly because the conference ended at 3p and our plane didn't leave until 8:30p. UGH. It took forever to get back to MQT. I was so jealous of Al & Aimes to left early... The missed some interesting things, but got home prolly before we even left!

o-tay. Gotta focus on the lecture...
