she posts twice...three times in one day?!

she must have nothing better to do! ...ha... ha.
well at least im not just sleeping the day away.
and actually i wrote the first one yesterdayish and didnt finish it until today. so ha!.

and this is really more of a matter of i need some opinions on my actions that could take a turn for irresponsible... or could they?

it pertains to the video i posted below.

im not sure if you know what the invisible children campaign is but if you dont, its a campaign trying to raise awareness and support for the children that are/were being captured and made child soldiers for the militia in africa and then the children as well as families being displaced all over the place. well, they are having an event in atlanta (as well as several other cities all at the same time) this weekend and a group from bcm are going. from what i understand you go, take most importantly an open minded self, a liter bottle of unopened water, and a sealed package of saltines, oh and a sleeping bag as well as enough cardboard to make a 'tent' out of. i didnt realize how much i wanted to go until i started doing some more research on it online today.
they take the water and saltines and then redistribute them later in the night. oh, and everyone will watch videos and listen to speakers and write senators to raise awareness. all the while sleeping in sleeping bags inside a cardboard tent in atlanta with who knows how many other people.
so... i really want to go. and the more i think about it the more i want to go. but, as usual, and as is my response to everything in life, i have to work. so this is a serious one time experience. and i know people that are going... plus it will definitely be a psychological experience, technically it could be portrayed as something for school right? so... well im thinking of calling out of work so i can go. actually the more i think about it the more i convince myself its a good idea. plus, if i let them know early then they can fill my spot. acutally, there has been so many people at work lately, the other servers would probably be happy i wasnt there because it would mean more money for them.
so this is my dilemma. well, that and i have three presentations to do over the next couple days.
