Deja Vu Anyone?

Dearest Darling Diary,
I did not sleep well last night because I was forced to get up at dawn’s crack (04:00) in order to attend that conference in Johannesburg CBD today. I traveled with two other ladies. Getting there was no problem but coming back to the office was, because we drove straight into protest action. I literally shat myself, and I swore like a sailor while armed with a teeny tiny littlest can of pepper spray – one itsy bitsy can against 400 plus angry people, yip, it aint gonna work – wish I could actually perfect the death stare and people shudder in fear when they see me coming. The car was surrounded / boxed in by all the mini bus taxis and protesting people. It was like déjà vu all over again with my attempted hijacking.
On the plus side; I finally got a photo with myself and Thuli Madonsela (the ex-public prosecutor who exposed the rot and corruption in this country with her State Capture report – there you go Linda; you are most welcome). I tried to get a pic before the event – I pink panther / thriller walked / tippy-toed so sneaky sneaky behind her and was about to take the impromptu selfie but then the camera crew caught me on film, and then the security came and I do not want to talk about it anymore……….
There were so many film crews and photographers there. I ducked and dived out of the way, people most probably thought I was a wanted fugitive or something. Seriously photographer dude, why do you have to take a fucking photo of me tearing a breakfast burrito apart like a savage beast? At least warn a girl first. So not cool, who gave you permission to take my piktcha on numerous occasions in the first place? And here I thought I was a seasoned stalker, pfffft.
With all being said and done, I will not knowingly be putting my life in a dangerous situation, ever again. EVER!!!! Always trust your intuition!
Sincerely,
A Thrille dancing misfit.
