I finally got word that Megan and her family are okay. They lost their house and everything, but at least they're okay. It's a huge weight of worry lifted off my shoulders. Also, my buddy Drew called. He lost his house too, but just knowing that he and all of the friends I've made contact with her okay is a relief. Katrina's a dumb fuckslut. Thanks ( Read more... )

My mom just called. Our house is fine for the most part. All of the windows are intact. All of the trees around the house have fallen, but none of them landed on the house itself. There are several holes in the roof and some bad leaking, but nothing unfixable. I have quite a few blessings to count ( Read more... )

Today I got a text message from my friend Ryan (who's now back home in Mississippi) saying:

Drove by your house. Nothing looked too bad. You should be okay. I could not see the back. Diamondhead is a fucking disaster. My house is pretty much okay. I have not heard from Megan. I don't think her house made it. I have not heard anything at all about ( Read more... )

Good news. I just found out from a friend of mine that lives down the street that my house still exists (as does his). Relief to the max.

Mucho love to xintothewestx.

He bought me 2 months of paid account, and 2 months of extra icons. <333

So Katrina pretty much gave where I live a royal fuck-over. I have no idea what condition my house is in -- or if I even have a house anymore -- because phone service there is completely dead, cells and all. My parents are heading home from Arkansas today, so ( Read more... )

So I moved and everything. It was a long, crazy process, but I'm actually settled in now. The transition wasn't as brutal as I thought it would be. Everyone here is really nice and friendly; I've met so many people that remembering names is impossible. I've been hanging out with some cool people from film school, seeing movies and exploring the ( Read more... )

I can't believe I'm moving tomorrow. For some reason, while I've been anticipating this for so long, it seems very surreal. It was so strange today when I had to start loading my car. I visited my high school to say good-bye to my favorite teacher, and we talked for about an hour. After that, I went with Ryan and Megan to eat at Toucans (oh, how I' ( Read more... )

I've felt like shit all day today. It's just my luck to get sick right before I have to move. But oh well.

I spent the day with Megan and her mom. We rode around in the convertible, listening to Queen and Pink. Good times. I searched several places for Harriet the Spy on DVD, but nowhere had it. But I did find out (through the guy who works at ( Read more... )

The play was last night. It turned out really well. The band was great, and the audience (while only 32 tickets actually sold out of the 50 we planned/hoped for) was nicely responsive. Amy (the head of R.O.C.C.S., the charity we did the show for) was really impressed and wants to do another show in the spring. Which would be impossible for me ( Read more... )
