I cannot feel my toes.

Or my ass, come to think of it.

It is barely 40 degrees F here in Milwaukee, and there's a massive, blustery wind making it feel far colder. But I did successfully go stand with people and hold signs.

After I found them, that is. You see, they were nowhere near the address listed on their little Milwaukee page at Join the Impact. And I would not have found them if I hadn't randomly driven down Kilbourn. Stupid idiots.

They were on Water, at the ice skating rink, which is NOT 200 E Wells st. Pfft.

Anyway. I got sign making materials and stood there for over an hour, before the few of us left packed it in. (it apparently had more people at 12:30, who then all left at, like, 1).

'H8 is not a family value' seemed appropriate. Though it wasn't exactly the Mona Lisa of signs.

Best sign I saw today: "If God didn't want gays to marry, he wouldn't have made my boyfriend so ~dreamy~."

\o/ I'm so sad I couldn't go. Stupid job what pays for my shelter and warmth and food. ARG.

That's what my roommates said.

I heard vaguely on Facebook that there was something going on in my city but nobody mentioned where and I drove around downtown looking but saw nothing. And I didn't feel like driving out of town today. Sigh.

Yeah. I'm getting the impression this thing isn't as organized as it pretends to be.

*sends hot cocoa* Protests are kind of fun, huh? I haven't been to one since my college English department invited a holocaust denier to come give a poetry reading. Good times, good times.

*sips* Yah. Although they're better with people you know there.
