I WISH IT WERE WHISKEY
Octover 10th is the anniversary of my father's death.
It's a day I've always shared with my big brother.
A day when I could always count on a call from him.
Not that he'd say WHY he was calling, because we both knew.
A day when it didn't matter if I was living in Arizona, Boston, NYC, or backpacking across...

I've been in a strange place lately.
As you all know, the past year or so has been really hard.
There wasn't any time for reflection, meditation, relaxation, or inspiration. It was a day to day battle to keep putting one foot in front of the other and do what I needed to do.
Now that I'm out of school I can finally feel the...

please save me from the most horrid of tequilla hang overs... 
Well, it's day four of the rest of my life...and I haven't accomplished much.
I sure am enjoying the fact that I don't have to get up at obscene hours of morning to operate heavy machinery after a long night of drinking and shaking my ass.

Called that mercedes shop in New Mexico...still no dice.
They don't want to pay the $5,500 it would...

THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE
So here I am...it's 11:55 AM Monday morning...
I'm sitting here in my tank top and panties enjoying some coffee and a smoke...with nothing to do...and loving it!
Ok...so that's not entirely true...I have a LIST...a LONG list of things that I will need to take care of...things that I haven't had time for in months....

You have such an adventurous life compared to mine. 
Re: the abortion remark -- yeah, it was pretty absurd. Of course, a lot of the wingnut blogs are like dispatches from Bizarro Land to start out with, so that's not much of a surprise. It just boggles me that people can hold such irrational opinions this far into the Information Age. De-pressing.

Yeah, I used to people watch, you know just looking for a nose or eye that was just right. I guess I still do. I know exactly what you mean.
The worst though....was the grade 4 family tree assignment. I kind of felt like I was lying, but what else could I do?
The odd thing to me, is my sister has no cares regarding her past. Not a sniff.
It's cool to share this with someone who has the same experiences. Thanks.

GETTING BACK TO LIFE AS WE KNEW IT...
Showed up back to school today...
Turns out they're going to let us graduate even though we've missed so many days.
We'll have to make up as many hours as we can by staying late in the shop for our remaining days and maybe even coming in on Saturday...all of which is fine by me so long...

Wow, that Emma looks pretty cool. Thanks.
I'm glad you guys watched out for those animals. I've been sick over all those abandoned pets down there.

HOMEWARD BOUND...
Well...news from home is sketchy...
Rockadiva has been in touch and is fine. She says they didn't even lose power at her place.
My friend Aaron is still without power...he's hanging with his friend Jason, who DOES have power...

I've been in touch with my school and they won't be open until Wednesday...
Still, my curiousity about home is killing me.
Now...

rockadiva:
oh yeah, I saw on the Social D website that they will be in Austin on Nov. 1st....so I think we need to plan a roadtrip, or at least meet up at the show or what have you....
There is no better way than to get to know a new vehicle than to take it on a long, unexpected road trip...
While my blessed minivan (name pending) got me here in one piece...I've discovered some problems I didn't know about.
One of them was simply that she was low on trasmission fluid...easy enough to fix...
The other is that her CV joint clasps...

I hope you guys are having fun!
I finally got on the road around 3am...
I just couldn't deal with sitting there waiting for my doom...
Scared to get on the road and run out of gas somewhere and scared not to try to get out.
It took an hour and a quarter tank of gas to make it two exits northbound...
Seven and a half hours later me and my two...

Believe it or not, I've only just tuned into this drama. 3rd strongest hurricane on record?
Be careful, be safe.

Good luck! I hope everything turns out OK for you. Fortunately Houston isn't below sea level.
LIFE
...has taken a turn for the smooth...
Not numb so much as it had been, but smooth...
Some kind of acceptance for the situation I find myself in...
Alone, with an unknown future...
I find this calm, blank place a nice one to move around in.
Why not meet the guy who contacted me from Myspace?
Why not let him talk me into pinstriping...
