carol the security risk

Well, I had a really embarassing thing happen today. I was embarassed to be escorted out of University Hotel at IUPUI by two security officers. But it got way more embarrassing.....I cried when they told me to leave. This is when crying is a curse. When I get embarrassed I cry, which leaves me naked to the fact that I'm embarrased, and makes me look weak. Instead I wish I could just be strong and have something bold to say in the face of embarrassment.
So, I had registerd to attend the Chinese Ambassador's speech at IUPUI. I was encouraged to do a little protest beforehand. My protest involved wearing my Save Darfur shirt, bringing some flyers to hand out, and a few signs to prop up. I wasn't planning on yelling or being forceful at all. I had a friendly message that encouraged China to do the right thing.
So I went in to register and my name wasn't on the list. So, I tracked down the guy whom I asked if I could bring a petition. He said the session was full and that I would have to take my petition outside. So, judging by all the well dressed dignitaries who were there, I decided not to do anything petition signing/protesting. I felt very out of place in my t-shirt. So, I just decided to wait for my friend who was planning on meeting me. Well, I won't go into the whole story but I was told by security that I must leave and wasn't welcome to stay. So, I started to leave and was followed out by another security guard who looked like I was a terrorist threat and he was making sure I left for good.
This was all very embarassing. I'm supposed to meet with our senators on behalf of Amnesty International. I have to get over this crying thing before then!
