Day 21- Alone in a Crowd

I went to an event tonight in solidarity with Hands Across Hawthorne in Portland, OR. It was in response to the assault of 2 gay men who were attacked for holding hands while walking across the Hawthorne Bridge in downtown Portland.We walked across the Monroe Bridge to let it be known that violence is unacceptable and that anyone has the right to hold hands with the ones they love.

I went because i whole heartedly support the LBGT Community, but the only problem i had with myself being there is i knew no one. Not that it is necessarily a bad thing... it just means that i need to meet more people. i know a lot of people in the LBGT community via Facebook, but that does not mean really KNOW on and other and real friends in real life.

I hate going to places alone, I never get use to it, but i guess that is how it is until i get to know more people in my community. my husband said that he would have gone with me, but he knew that a news crew would stop by and for his job he is not supposed to be on local news for any reason. :(

afterward i was feeling a bit depressed and was craving big time for sushi. i was right there at my fave sushi spot- Sushi Maru   http://www.inlander.com/spokane/blog-2398-menu-porn-sushi-maru.html    - and i did not go in. i thought about that if i did all the weight i would gain from the hidden salt in the food and it would take me a week to lose that weight and i don't wanna be set back a week because of a stupid craving. i did good all weekend by NOT indulging in what was so readily available to me and in doing so i have not gained.... why mess it up now?

Oh well... time for bed. Good night! :)
