Lauree aka “Rebel Protester”


You may think that I’m a buttoned-up, conservative, goodie-two-shoes (is that even how you spell that?) but let me tell you something…

for the most part you are right.

BUT!  There are moments when I break out of my shell and I go for it.  Like I am a bad-’donkey‘ people! Pardon the strong language, that was my darkside, but I just needed be explicit to support my point = I gotta bad-girl side to me.  Gotta keep that in check.

You know when you are doing something wrong and you want to slink back into the dark corner so that no one can see what you are doing?  Well with all of my crooked activity and my life as a missionary, whew!  It gets hard sometimes to keep it all seperate – and when you get blown out of the water by a picture…whew!  I’m just glad that I didn’t quit my day job.  Being a missionary is always a good fall back*

And if your activities would land you on a FBI or INTERPOL crime watch list…well then the advice I should have heeded would be NOT to involve the kiddos of Big Boss Mel and other JV leaders in my quasi-illegal activity.

Look at them, all smiles, it’s like they are enjoying their first time on the other side of the law.  Lesson #1 little protege’s: don’t be so visible! You need deniability later on, HIDE YOUR FACES!

Ok lesson learned, little “rebels-with-training-wheels.”  Maybe not soo flashy next time – but you’re catching on.

Seriously?? Overhead shots of our anti-establishment activities?
You may think that a Greenpeace rally is just a walk in the park, but I assure you we were in the epicenter of danger!  The drum line was violently blowing their whistles and beating drums, the lady with the baby bjorn,…with. her.  baby. she had danger in her eyes when she asked if I would help her out by holding a sign, I’m sure it wasn’t a real baby in there! Probably a bomb rigged to blow if people didn’t pledge to change their lightbulbs out and install low flow toilets.  The edge people!! I’m telling you there was danger everywhere we looked even the soup line with free soup for all volunteers, er I mean ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT SOCIAL MISFITS.

We passed, y’know it could have been Chicken-Noodle-Poison, so yeah, we passed.

*my sarcasm is crackin me up!

About Lauree

Four years ago I was doing production for an arena tour, finishing off my African studies degree and wandering through life. In God's wicked (like in the British slang sense of the word) sense of humor I moved to the Czech Republic to be his number one Reluctant Missionary! I love my life, the good the bad and the ugly!
