Tomorrow, one of my good friends from Rock the Vote is getting a huge award. She has been coordinating Chicago since she was 17. She's getting honored with some big names: bill clinton, barack obama, the black eyed peas. I'm so excited and proud for her because I know from 8 months of employment with Rock the Vote how horribly hard it is.
One of my old bosses e-mailed me and offered me a hotel and tickets, but I couldn't go because of everything going on here. stupid fact finding. stupid FSPA. stupid everything else keeping me here.
The part that makes me the saddest is that I can't go there to see her and all of them. I really grew close to all of them. And being in Washington, around people who are now huge politicos mixed with those really trying to affect change, was a real specific type of excitement i've yet to feel again. I miss Maya and Tess and Sarah and Levin and Laura.
More than anything i just wish so bad I hadn't left. I'd be there right now and still feel part of something much bigger than myself. A national movement for change.
I know i did lots of good things. i worked myself to death, thats why i had to quit. But as I sit here in Gainesville away from all of it, I regret moving away from it. It could have become what defined my life. Right now I don't know what the hell's going to become of me.
watch sarah on c-span tomorrow at 6. She's a person who's pushed me through a lot. I'm so proud of her.
