Words I don’t care if I ever hear again…. Or at least not for a long time…. Hurricanes, flooding, wrath, storm’s path, damage, Rita, Katrina, Louisiana, New Orleans and category. Words I should be hearing more often… Free money, let’s get naked, monkies doin it, and yes you can come home… As of Friday night I have been hurricaned out… After like a week of watching a storm that they predicted would hit the Gulf Coast and I thought not…. Watching Fox News, CNN and the Weather Channel almost 24/7 finally got to me…. I went to see the Corpse Bride with some friends Friday night…. Also discovered a chick here who digs Fowler…. And we can compare Texas musicians/drinking stories its awesome…. Corpse Brides a pretty cute movie btw…. So I tried to find out about everyone and their dog (literally in some cases) and how they fared most of Saturday…. Most everyone I know is ok… A lot with out power, some windows broken, some twigs on the ground, but otherwise okay…. I do know of a few people that did lose everything…. A couple of girls up here have families in Port Neches and their houses were totaled as was a friend’s ex hubbies…. Saturday night I was supposed to go drinking with the same group of girls from Friday but no one ever got their ducks in a row…. I wound up watching Hitchhikers Guide, drinking Boones Farm and then goin over to Sirena’s room and watching Shaun of the dead….. I also discovered myspace last night…. And how addictive that is…. Seriously….I’d heard but I didn’t believe it till I stayed up till 3 30 playing with it…. :0)
Sunday I found out who had made it back into town so far and what the damage was some more…. B and Sean both made it back safe and sound…. Sean, had some busted windows and no power…. B, no power but everything else was fine…. Nate’s going to come back Monday as is Linz….. Also I went to sonic for dinner for the 2nd night in a row…. And then about 10 ran to Walmart cuz I was craving waffles… So I had a 10 oclock snack of blueberry waffles with lowfat syrup….. whoo hoo…
So lets recap…. I got no homework done this weekend, I quit smoking, saw a cute movie, and had a pothead like craving… And I still have not seen Best Lil Whorehouse… No idea why really… Its not like its gonna get overdue so I shouldn’t really worry about it…. But I’d really like to be able for at least one time I watch it to be with a certain someone… I’d love to see his reaction to it up close and personal…. Its one of those movies you’re either in love with or appalled by….
Speaking of him…. Haven’t seen him all weekend… :0( How can you hit on a guy if you never see him? Its very vexing I tell ya….
So anyway I also got yelled at Sunday… Gage told me I should get my tix for the Little Rock Blue show… I tried to explain that more than likely I am going I just have to straighten out some things first…. He accused me of offering up nothing but excuses… What’s that line from moulin rouge? “I only speak the truth…” I have to find out first if mom’s gonna be home that weekend, then if shes got a free tick home I can use…. Then if I do I have to figure out when I can leave (that Wednesday – I’d miss the Blue show but I’d be home) or leave Thursday and go to the Blue show…. The other option… Go to the Blue show and just come back here the next day and just spend fall break on campus (ie boring as hell and depressing cuz I'm homesick)…. Plus right now I don’t have the dinero in my bank account…. Anyone want to sue me? You’re gonna get about 10 bucks… And that’s the way its gonna be till the end of the week…. THEN I can look at getting a tick…. Gage took care of my place to stay problem…. I was impressed… A little disappointed but optimistic…..
He also annoyed me cuz I tired to explain I'm homesick and I want to make sure everything's bueno at home post Rita with my own two eyes.... He completely minimized my feelings by saying I could watch the news or look on the internet.... But thats not what I want to see... I want to see the people and my house.... And I'm pretty sure no internet site or news program is gonna have those... Besides most all the reporting I've seen has been about a. Beaumont, b. Lake Charles, or c. New Oreans and those damn faulty levees.... In fact c's all I found Sunday.... Talk about beating a dead horse..... Maybe I'm a bitch but I'd rather see something closer to home... Even if it is just long ass lines of car waiting to get back in the city.... Thats better than nothing.... Least to me...
anyway yeah he yelled and signed off before I could explain any better….. darn him….
thats about it for now.... i have class at 9 am which means the alarm will go off at 6 am.... *groan* So yeah its bed time.... laters....
