rhylli am no longer manic.
if it was the 19th century i would begin this entry:
"oh! the despair...god help me for i do not know if i can bear this..."
but then, they were somewhat melodramatic in the 19th C, i have decided (with little or no factual evidence).
i will be fine. because it's just PMS, and it'll end.
i've even managed to take a certain uncomfortable amusement in today's events, in particular those for which i was dressed as a pirate.
the first perth nanowrimo meeting was today. it was pirate themed. me and one other girl dressed up, and there were some bandanas. it was ok - not much in-depth conversation. i'd like to have a proper writers' evening sometime, and get to know people. there'd be red wine, of course.
and chloe and i went straight (haha.) from there to reclaim the night. but chloe left, so i marched alone, dressed as a pirate. there was a boy with a megaphone next to me chanting "not the church, not the state, women must decide our fate". which seemed odd to me. it wasn't a big march.
it makes me angry when i compare the attention given to rtn compared to pride. or at least the aspects of pride that are 'cultural' (and moneymaking), as opposed to political. i'm glad the freedom centre's float will be political.
i'll stop now, since nanowrimo starts at midnight tonight, and i should put my words there.
