I met with a guy who works for Senator Martinez today.
A couple of weeks ago I got an email from Invisible Children asking me if I'd like to go speak to a congressman about IC, so I said sure. They arranged a group to go in the area I live in and today was the day. There were 10 of us total. about 5 teenagers, 5 adults. I met some cool girls that either just graduated or still go to Lake Mary High (Laura, Sara, and Blaze). There was a kid named Dylan who led our group, he just graduated form WPHS and is going to Belmont in the fall. Anywho, it was an interesting experience. I did not say much (almost nothing except my name and age), but just being there, hearing an issue explained, knowing that my presence might help sway a decision, was cool. It was so scary walking into the office though. I got to sit in Martinez's fave chair though :-).
Anywho, I hope Martinez ends up supporting the Child Soldier Prevention Act of 2007.
It's funny how I don't like being at Northland parties. I feel very awkward and never seem to be able to find someone to talk to. Tonight was different though, Chris was there (rebekah P's bf). Chris and I just hung out in the kitchen and talked the whole time, with Mrs Augustine occasionally joining us. Everyone else was out in the living room doing something stupid or whatnot. I had way more fun with Chris at this Northland party than I do at usual Northland parties. I guess I'm just a one-on-one kind of person. It doesn't help that I find it hard to like M*** and a boy named W****n, who are very much involved in Northland.
I'm going to dinner at Seasons 52 with my dad tomorrow night, I'm kind of excited about it, I've never been there. I made the reservation today.
