Am knackered. Cannot feel knees below the knees, and my back is agony.

Queed to get on march longer than I actually spent marching, and then, just as we start actually moving, they start showing U2 at Live 8 on the big screens. Bastards. Avoided sunburn, but whacked a few people in the head with my sign (if you see a belgian flag on TV reports, that'll be me, whoo!) and nearly tripped over a toddler half a dozen times. All in all, a fun-filled day. Now I need, in order, a shower, some food, a lie-down, and to clean my flat.

Amusingly, when I was typing in the LJ url, IE's autocomplete (I'm in an internet cafe) popped up with, among other things, time_and_chips. Ahahahaha!

Two. Hours. Of. Queing in those two holding pod areas. Jeebus. Though we were right behind that Gorbals piper's band which was kind of cool... and we're all collapising in front of the TV and dying, now. >.>

I saw the flag...I might even have a photo.

:) I'm having a rant about it on my other journal though, for reasons that will become obvious if you ever catch it.
I respect what people did, but I don't respect that people think its 'only a day' - and though I know that's not the intellignet ones involved, many people are taking that line. 'This day will change history'.
NO...sustained action has and will continue to change things. Its all we can do.

Gah. Two and a half hours of queuing, alleviated only by the presence of a half-decent samba band. Having had only about 2 hours sleep last night, I am currently in no fit state to do anything but collapse into bed. And thus, I'm reading my flist. Will I never learn?!
