I got a phone call from somene from the Apeldoorn chapter of the Socialist Party, of which I am a member. The woman asked if I was willing to bring round flyers for the chapter. I remembered the moment an SP representative visited me when I’d just joined the party two years ago. He asked if I was willing to do volunteer work for the party, and I said I was and explicitly named bringing round flyers. So, my answer was “Yes.” When the woman asked if I preferred a certain neighbourhood, I said that I’d most like to bring round the brochures in my own neighbourhood, cause I’m not that familiar with Apeldoorn. I know my neighbourhood quite well, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Hope the passers-by on that day when I’m going to bring round the brochures don’t think so either, cause you as a blind person don’t want to be addressed by a worried passer-by when you’re bringing around political brochures,. That’d leave the impression that my older brother/sister let her poor little sister do her work. You probaby see that I’m a bit worried, but I hope it’ll go well. I want to do some volunteer task for the party. I wante dto be active again. I was, when I’d first joined, but I lost my interest when I heard nothing about the founding of the new Apeldoorn chapter after I’d resigned as a candidate for the executive committee in early 2003. I so hope it’ll go well. I immediately tried to get my doubts away by reassuring my parents that it would be fine. Sigrid said that I wouldn’t not have to watch out for stickers on doors stating they don’t want advertisements, cause, she says, “these people are just interested in the SP.” Lol, real Sigrid logic! Anyways, I’ll get the flyers at the end of this month and will have to bring them round in the first two weeks after St Nicholas Day (December 5). The finals week will start December 7, so I’ll have enough time then.
