Been to the latest protest? I heard it was totally hot. Tom and Jen and Bianca were there. There were water cannons. It was crazy, man...

I'm vaguely amused by people who go to protests purely for the sake of going to protests. As a form of entertainment, I mean. Maybe I should try it out: see the world, get tear-gassed in all kinds of interesting places, scream at the police in a variety of exciting locales, and learn a little more about the futility of any attempt at political involvement. Sorry, that was unncessary. But I'm not deleting it. I'm sure there are people who protest for very good reasons and who are convinced that they're fulfilling a need in society, but I suspect that it would make me feel like an ant. I'd rather become Her Extravagant Majesty Nance, Queen Empress of the Known Universe, and just make new laws when it turns out that the old ones are bad.
