They're still finding bodies in New Orleans from Katrina. This weekend, they found the body of a little girl while clearing (bulldozing?) a house.
They found 6 bodies, I think, last week.
Almost 7 months later...
My roommate's going to Austin tomorrow to check out us moving there. I've never been but will move anyway if they do. Hope it's lovely. Hope it's cool. Hope it has character. Hope I find my place there because my heart will be grieving for New Orleans. But I don't want to live alone..
that was an awesome story. when i read "i was mugged there" i thought, man, this is going to be depressing. but you held your own... even on your back or your front, whichever it might have been! ha ha! good for you. thanks, too, because it upholds my theory that that station is cursed.
ha ha. that's pretty bad. i can't do caffeine because it makes me nuts, especially if i'm just sitting behind a desk. but then again, it has also been the reason for many of my recent poems... hmmm....
i'd definitely recommend NightWatch if you can find it at a theatre nearby. it's great for the big screen. renting would be okay though. great special effects and not too "done" like so many american thrillers.

and it will not say goodbye
just like it didn't say hello.
There will not be a send-off,

just a pathetic little vodka
in a dirty little glass."

Botulism - just eating a donated post-katrina can of soup that we got for free. But notice the exp date AFTER a few bites - Sep 03.
If I don't show up tomorrow, you might find me in a hospital somewhere...
Gonna go drink a coke. Maybe that'll kill any critters that aren't supposed to be.
Sharing your bed: Do you like sleeping with someone, non-sexual? I had to share beds for months after we evacuated. We never touched or anthing, but I loved the warmth and safety of it all.
When I had to go to Houston, alone, I had SO much trouble sleeping in my huge cold empty bed.

Oh Yes, I agree! I used to sleep next to my best friend Shroomy and snuggle up with him all the time, but totally plutonic- cuz I am a lesbian n stuff, but I loved him so much that I just felt confortable doing that... actually, I would have slumber parties often- in my youth 16-20 yo, and we all piled into the bed and snuggled and watched movies & smoked nugs and passed out together 4-5 of us... Super fond memories.... Now that I am older I haven't been snuggling enuf or having nearly enough slumber parties.. With the right people ofcourse... otherwise I am all about personal space So I guess it all depends on the person-s involved... Its all about trust and respect... We all need to be touched... lol... I am wondering-How come when we get older our (friends or types of friendships change,) to those where we can't just have snuggleparties?
and thanks for what you said in my journal- that was way cute and actually a couple people have said that to me before. hehe.
