I did end up doing some laundry, though my clothes aren't dry yet, and Mark will be here at 12:30pm to drive me to work. I actually stayed up with my laundry chores by scanning some really old pictures of me, that my Grandmother gave me. I have so many pictures of friends & family that I need to scan; I really want to find a place for them all on my webpage somewhere. And when I add the new old pix of me, with some new ones, I'll probably reorganize all the existing pictures (again) because I like the whole random thing. ;-0)

I'm listening to Coldplay, because I like them, but also because the neighbors are listening to really loud music that I don't want to hear. I need to brush my teeth, and finish getting ready for work.

I read the news of New Orleans and it's like watching a disaster movie. A movie which throws in all sorts of plot twists that are too strange to actually exist within reality. The hurricane I believe. And relief efforts; I've seen all that before. But the number of dead people just floating around, and people shooting at hospital evacuees and rape gangs with guns roaming the water-logged city? It's unbelievable. I wander around in my life this week, and always in the back of my mind there is this worry for the bad movie people, and for Mollie with her mother & step-father, and Carrie with school, and I try to just...go on, but it's getting harder to not be overwhelmed by all the outside stuff; it's pretty bleak. I'm very grateful for my friends, and that we are alive and not in the south. I'm grateful that Poppy Z. Brite evacuated New Orleans and is mostly safe in a city without power. I've known many people over the years who have moved to New Orleans, and I wonder if any of them were there. Anne Rice moved away from that city a few years ago, I believe, but did she move far enough away? What about Chris? And there must be so many people that have died, and will die that could have been amazing people; possibly people that could have touched my life in a grander way than as a statistic on the evening news. erg.

I can't sleep, and it's pissing me off. I turned down the air; hopefully that will help. I'm so fricking tired. I'm ripping some stuff for Bryan to keep from driving myself crazy but I'm not sure it's working. I'm crazy. I'm over it. Now if I could just sleep.

I think I finally fell asleep around 7:30am, but when my alarm went off and I thought I pressed snooze, I accidentally turned my clock off, so I got some more sleep, but had to rush around so I could arrive at work 6 minutes late. I ended up staying about an hour late anyways because Mark dropped me off and I had to wait for him to get off work and pick me up. Work was mostly fun, and DJ gave me a hardon (long story) which is always fun.

After work, Mark & I went to the storage unit, and then home, where I changed my clothes so we could go to Best Buy and look at the tv's with the $900.00 gift card I gave him for his surprise party. Only thing was that the tv's we want are about $5,000.00!?! So we decided to wait (even though we had a coupon to get 10% off this weekend. We're going to set aside money until we have enough for that, and then wait for another sale, and get it then.

I ended up buying some movies though, which I figured would come out of my next check, which I should get on Tuesday. We went to Meijer to pick up a few random things (Cool Mint Listerine, Lotrimin AF, Razor Blades, After Shave Gel (which everyone has always complimented me on), Deoderant for Mark, and baby powder), and then headed home.

We watched 2 more episodes of Dawson's Creek. I've been eating a lot of garlic bread lately; I like it ;-0) I've been enjoying spending time with Mark; I wish we were more compatable as lovers because things would be pretty cool right now, but we just...aren't, which makes me sad.

I'm kind of tired so I'm not too bummed that I didn't go out tonight. I don't really know what I'm doing; maybe just sleeping; maybe reading or working on my webpage - I really have no clue.
