Displace Me.

The Invisible Children people came to ECC today. It was awesome desppite the not so amazing turnout we had hoped for. But it was still really really good. And I wasn't sure it had had the impact on some of the people who saw it for the first time today as it did on me when i first saw it until, after the screening, on the way back from the bathroom I heard two older ladies talking about how incredibley ridiculous it was that it was going on. It made me smile It gave me hope. A hope that We, the 3 genocide members, have a chance to make this problem known to everyone. From ECC to wherever no matter who or wha tgroup of people we inform. Every little thing matters. I still feel amazing when I can tlak about it and people who dont know ask me for an explanation and I tell them and it really seems like they walk awayfrom me with a snese of intrigue and interest. Like they really might go and read up and inform themselves more about the issue. Its amazing. Its rewarding in a sense.

But like I said, Invisible Children people came and screened the movie and gave out information on ways to help. And afterwards, now, all Ive been able to think about is 1. how much I want to help out. Donating. Taking Donations. Informing people. and the other thin I've been thinking about is how much I wish I could be one of those people who travels around the country informing schools and groups. Its jsut somethin that would be an amazing amazing thing. Mentally and morally rewarding to the fullest extent. I would give anything for that.

At the end of the screening they talked about an event called DISPLACE ME.
Last year there was an event in April called the GLOBAL COMMUTE. It was a plea for people from all over the country to come out and support the desire to make the terror in uganda more of a known affair. Over 80 thousand people in 100 plus something cities i think made it out for the commute. It wasa huge thing and they wrote letters to their senators and the president and soon after the house upped the children soldiar issue as far as priority. Not by much but jusenough.
This year, aespecially after the hurricane katrina episode, They are asking for something of the same style of support. DISPLACE ME is an event aimed at showing people what its like to be without a home and living with almost nothing. Its on APRIL 28TH this year. And To say I was excited for it Would be an understatement. I would have done the global night commute last year if i had known about it. so now Im making up for it by going to this. And Im asking anyone who cares the littlest amount to join me in supporting Invisible children and the dreams of thousands of people all around the world. I really cant wait.

There was also this schools for schools thing that the genocide commity is doing for sure and then branching into the peace and justice group or something. its gonna be awesome.

I really want to draw..I do tnknwo why or what. but i want to..i realyl want to get my tattoo. but since i have NO money whatsoever. it sucks. shit.

Im sick of ECC i want to leave. I dont mean to coem off as bitchy. but I dont like going here anymore.
