Why am I so important?
It’s weird when out of the blue you end up in some sort of position of responability, especially when you haven’t actually done anything to earn it. About a month ago I found out I was the city chairperson, or something like that, of the Democrats Abroad Shenzhen branch. I had no idea how that happened. Then I realized it was because I was the only member! That’s not very impressive, I guess, but my name is on the Democrats Abroad listserve, and now people are e-mailing me asking for help getting absentee ballots, federal write-in ballots, and stuff like that.
On the other hand, when I try really hard to get some sort of honor, I usually fail.
