Texas Smells Like Chips...Gustav Part II
Current mood: cranky
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural

     I'm writing this blog in a state of such exhaustion I don't even know why I'm writing it. Maybe it'll be interesting to read tomorrow when I wake up? Heres a countdown of events starting sunday:

     Things really started looking up yesterday, and I was halfway convinced to stay; if we left we faced at minimum a ten hour drive to Dallas, and who knows when they would let us back in the city, and what if halfway there the report comes out that it's dropped to a Cat.2? On the other hand, Mom has health problems, we didnt have a whole lot of food, and I wasnt so sure the house would stand up to Cat. 3 winds, especially since my parents hadn't put any protection up for the windows or anything at their house.

     Dad wanted to stay, just to see a hurricane, Mom didnt really want to stay but said it was up to us, and I said I would stay if we could find a friends house which was bigger, had an interior without windows, was two story at least and was either uptown or the French Quarter. Alas such a home could not be found! So we left.

     While we were getting ready to leave, the wind really started picking up, and the only people around were police, it was kind of cool, but also creepy. Reminded me too much of Katrina.

     Ugh, the trip was so awful. Because we had left so late, parents got tired (we took 2 cars because of all the animals), mom ate a bunch of crap and got sick, and dad kept insisting we take "naps" in parking lots because we couldnt afford a hotel. I offered to drive ( I mean I dont have a liscense anymore, but I remember the basics, and a drive from Lafayette to Shreveport, who's gonna stop me?) but of course I was outnumbered.

     Thats not even all that happened, but it was awful, awful, awful. Almost enough to make me never want to evacuate with those two again. So what should have been a ten hour trip at the most turned into a 17 hour trip, my blood pressure was so high, I could feel the veins in my head starting to explode. I didnt sleep at all.

     So here I am in Dallas, after the awfulness, and I'm irritated, annoyed, angry, fuckin exhausted, and a little emotional. But things aren't looking so bad in the news, and I'm still basically optimistic about the whole thing. See you guys soon, I'm going to go to sleep and hopefully my brain will forget about the last 24 hours.

Gustav is the name of a french boy with a weak chin.
Category: News and Politics

     It's been awhile since I wrote anything down here, and I have 2 hours til my next class, and about that much battery life in my laptop, so here we go.

    So this is an interesting week! First classes began, then Mr. Gustav the hurricane formed, and now Ms. Hanna the depression (is it still a depression?) formed like last night. Everyone here is freaking out about Gustav, buying the bottled water, canned foods, cancelling their trips to Applebees, cause they think it's going to be another Katrina. And it could, don't get me wrong! But it's almost a week away and I feel somewhat optimistic. My friend Bob Breck (ok, not really my friend) has been telling us to chill the F out, and talked me down from the initial kinda-freak out I had a first.

The only thing I'm worried about is moving the cats, they just get so stressed out, which stresses me out. So I think we are staying for now, we still have to see where its actually going to go! Its going West, looks like, so thats good and bad. But anyhow, I figure if its not far enough west, and is a 3 or more, we're gonna leave. If it is far enough west, whatever, we'll enjoy a nice breeze and some rain.

So all my Dallas area friends, keep on the lookout! Theres a chance I'll be in the area by Monday!

If not, then Partay!

But enough hurricane talk. How are you? Hows that job/school/relationship/mole? How about that economy? Up 3% in the 2nd quarter I hear! No recession eh? And good old Russia...oh Russia.

A New Semester on the Horizon
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities

Hey y'all!

Howdy. So I scheduled my new classes at UNO for the summer and fall and they are as follows:

Summer:  Intro Computers, French I, Intro World Politics (fun!) = 9 Hrs

Fall:  French II, Intro Philosophy, World Hist II, Mod. European Hist, Latin American Hist, and Physics Lec. and Lab = 19 hrs

I can't wait, I'm so excited. I also have the hookup for a job at the UNO library for the summer, which apparently makes me a shoe in to work there for the Fall term, which would be aaaammmmmaaaaazzzziiiinnngg. So I wouldnt have to kill myself getting from school to work, which is a big source of my misery.

I'll be glad to have a month off just to work though....Whew!

I came to the New World in 1620...
Category: News and Politics

     So I’m about to start at UNO this summer! I’m registering on the 7th of April for both the summer and fall semester, so finally after the drama of financial aid from years ago, and then a year of stupidness at Delgado, finally I’m off to another institution of higher learning.

     I plan on going straight through, not taking the mini sessions, but taking every summer, spring and fall until I graduate...which if I keep going at this rate should be in a couple of years. So I started thinking about what happens then?? Two years isnt exactly that far away, and nothing is set in stone for sure, I mean two years! But I’ve been looking around at Grad schools, because that is a definite part of my plan after my B.A.. So I was poking around and doing some research on schools, and I think I’ve come up with my grad school!

     William and Mary College! It’s not too far away in Virginia, by the original Jamestown colony!! Exciting! Its the 2nd oldest college in the U.S.! Thomas Jefferson went there! And the kicker is that tuition and fees out of state is only $11,000 and in state is only $4000! And they also have a PhD program if that was something I would be interested in getting into later. Hmmm...Dr.Drue? Maybe! But it’s not too far away from the big city (Richmond) and I dunno, it just seems kind of perfect, especially if I’m going to be going for History. I mean how much more historical can you get than Jamestown??

     So thats my plan right now for the years after UNO. I don’t think I would be living there permanently, New Orleans would still be my home base. I would probably just put all my junk in storage, pack up the cats and get a furnished apartment. I’ll probably have to start driving again by that time though, so maybe after I get settled at UNO that will be my next goal. To get another drivers liscense (I just got a state ID right now), work on being comfortable driving and then getting a car. I know, its so shocking and scary! I really really don’t want to drive, but its beginning to be clear that there is really going to be no other way to get around. Especially if I’m in Williamsburg, VA.  But then all of tese plans are if everything goes right, anything could happen which could change things, like there could be another hurricane, or I could finally marry Tom Cruise, or my head might fall off. But this is my 5 year plan I suppose. After that, who knows?  Doctorate? Job? We’ll see.

Snotrags and Cellphones
Current mood: sick
Category: Automotive

Dude, I tried posting blogs like 3 other times and each time something happened that ate my blog. So now I'm trying again on my NEW computer, and I'm hoping something won't eat this blog. As I write I think I have a sinus infection. First I thought it was the cold, then the flu, and now I'm on sinus infection. My head is a big painful balloon full of infected mucus. Yum! So anyway, these are things that are going on with me right now...

School - is awesome, I'm in the second semester and I have so much reading and writing to do, I dont think I'll ever get caught up. I have 3 history classes and 2 sociology classes. I had a psychology class, but I dropped it cause the professor was a total douchbag, and I just couldnt keep up with the crazy reading and shiz in his class as well. I love all my teachers, mostly, and they are all mostly, ha ha challenging. I dont even know why I'm on Myspace, I need to read or do something, but since my head is a big mucus balloon maybe I'll take it easy this weekend. Besides, I already finished two projects that were the bulk of my work I had to do by Monday. So ha!

Work- Work? Where? No work. I totally quit my job to focus more on school, but I know I'm going to be regretting that very soon. Probably in a month if I dont get another one. Oh well, there is always more money, is my motto. But I'm getting a nice refund from the IRS and I have two paychecks I still havent cashed. So I'm A-OK for now. If I can curb my online shopping, that is.

Home- Mardi Gras is totally over, thank god. There were people, king cakes, parades. Thats all I really remember, and I wasnt even drinking. We had a party, kind of a psuedo party I guess when you get down to it, cause the party was everyone outside watching the parades, but it was fun. Besides that, now we are back to normal, yay. Brenty and I both got new computers so I think thats all we really do. Thats all I do anyway. I looooove my new computer. I loooove it. Its the first time I've ever had a new computer!

Phone- I got a new fancy phone on ebay like a month ago, but it sucks big balls. Its so pretty, but it gets NO reception, and no one can ever hear you talking on it, and a million other problems. So I had to spend another fortune yesterday to get a new phone that actually works. I think this may be my new venture into the world of selling on Ebay, because I gotta sell this phone. But I should be getting my new one, an old reliable, this week sometime.

Cats - Monkey and Sadie are totally cute and love each other and say hello.

Thats it, I guess.

Socialism and School!
Category: News and Politics

So I haven't written any blogs lately, so I thought I'd let everyone know whats up.

Schools going good, I've been taking 18 hours, and I have A's in everything except Biology. At midterms I had a D, but I've been pulling it up ever since, and I think I have something like a C-or B now. I can TOTALLY live with either of those. These are the classes I'm taking so far:

Sociology 101, Bio 101, Human Diseases 142, Western Civ 101, American Gvernment 180, and Art History.

I've done my schedule for next semester at Delgado (unfortunately no UNO yet, I decided to wait until next year because of financial aid) but these are the classes I'm gonna be taking so far next semester:

Sociology of the Aging, Sociology of Modern Problems, Psych 101,  American History before 1865, and History after 1865.

 So far only 5 classes, I'm still looking for my 6th one. And no basics this semester cause I still need to take placement tests, which I'll have to take anyways over at UNO, so I'm gonna wait. I've also decided to double major, History/Sociology. I think its gonna be a good mix, especially if I get into something political. And speaking of political, I'm going to start spreading my propoganda all over town soon. I already started papering the school with Socialist literature, but I think mainly people don't know what to make of it, or don't care. I just want to get enough of it around so that people start seeing it and start asking themselves or others about it. Awareness!

I've been totally gung ho about my socialist beliefs lately, maybe its my sociology teacher, who has GOT to be a socialist, or maybe its the ignorant fucks in my Government class, or maybe it's the election stuff already going through the air. I dunno, but I'm about to get a lot more dedicated. Brian Moore, the presidential nominee for the Socialst Party e-mailed me a week or so ago, and we've been sending a line here and there, and I'm going to try and be involved in getting him on the presidential ballot here in Louisiana.  And besides that, I'm trying to seriously get people involved here in New Orleans. There has to be more than just me here! It's a scary thing admitting to everyone around you that you're a socialist, I figure it's probably just as bad admitting to everyone that you're gay. I mean, it's great, there is just so much stigma attached, especially around the wrong people. Like I would never (at least I dont have the balls yet) walk into a WWII veterans reunion and start shouting about how Socialism is the only way! They'd call me a commie and bust in my kneecaps!

So anyway, thats what going on. Still waiting on student loans, and still working at the Perkin. Hopefully, both of the last two things will be over with soon! Then I can buy a freaking computer and get my freaking phone turned back on. Everyone and their dog is telling me that next week is the week for all the money to come flooding in to me, but I've been hearing that since September. So we'll see.

Suck it!
Current mood: horny
Category: Art and Photography

So I'm back in New Orleans.

And it's ok.

It's ok. I wish I had money, but I'm trying not to be bitter. I wish I had FURNITURE, but I'm trying not to be bitter about that also. Mostly everyone knows what happened, and I'm not going to re-hash it on the internet. I'll stay true to form and remain the adult in this situation. Uh-oh, I'm starting to let the bitterness out! Ok, no. There is no situation anymore, so thats it.

Anyway, my friend Brent and I have found an apartment on Napoleon Ave, right in the middle of it all, and although it would absolutely be classified as a "fixer upper" I think it will be just dandy. It's big, and we both have a bedroom and a bathroom (as soon as we can get the other bathroom open!), and its got a washer and dryer and a dishwasher. These are luxeries I have never had, or at least not had for quite a while! Truly the biggest place I've ever rented before. There is also a giant porch. The landlady is completely lunchbox crazy, and there are some things in the apartment that I've never had to deal with before, (exposed, frayed wires, no smoke alarm, broken glass, ect.,) But I have hope! Also the apartment is quite frankly the DIRTIEST place I've ever rented before. We have spent at least a few days just cleaning. I know thats the landlords job, people, but this is New Orleans, remember?

Also I'm working at Still Perkin again, at least for a while. Everyone has been so amazing, welcoming me back with open arms. So now its time to see what I can make of my time here, we'll see how it goes.

It also seems that with moving back, my crazy dreams have been coming back. Maybe its the medicine, maybe its the lack of stress, but they were on hiatus when I was in Asheville. First I had a dream that Lindsey Lohan and I were friends. I don't remember this one quite so well, but I think I was trying to be like her mentor, and trying to get her off the drugs.

Second, last night I had a dream that I went to the beach with my family. Unfortunatly, we kept being hit by tidal waves (small ones) and the little house we were standing in started being pulled down by the water. So we walked along and came to this shopping center. We were in a hurry for some reason, but we stopped and I found my frind Erin wandering around. We decided to check the place out and we found none other than PETER PAN (aka Randy from Pixyland.org) trying to sell Peter Pan outfits and CDs of his music. Except he was really scary. He was about 3 feet tall, and had pockmarks all ove his face which he tried to cover with this gross white grease paint. He looked awful! And he had all these little henchmen who were trying to sell his products while he sat in the back and scowled. So  Erin and I decided to buy a Peter Pan outfit and some Peter Pan boots, which we said we were going to share (?). And then Peter Pan decided to start signing autographs so we got in line so he could sign our boots! The only other thing I remember is that we got up to him and I started gushing, "Oh my god, I'm such a big fan!!" Even though he really scared me. And that was it.

So thats my Update. I'll let everyone in on how the first month of living in Castle Crazy goes! And thanks also everyone for your support in what has been quite a difficult time for me!

Ciao!

Sanjaya Goes Bye Bye / Robert Rodriguez
Category: News and Politics

So Sanjaya lost tonight. And a nation mourns! Poor Sanjaya, who sang "Something to Talk About" last night, man. I really thought he could be the vehicle to take down the American Idol machine! I don't really care about any of the contestants, they are all fairly good singers, and they are all going to have something going for them whether they win or lose at this point. But poor Sanjaya! If he ever gets a recording contract, you know its probably going to be a William Hung type record that people are only going to buy as gag gifts..I know I will! The saddest thing though, is that I think he actually thought he could have won the show. He was crying forever when they told him he lost! But there is always next year to pick a loser and vote and vote and vote! And why should we feel sorry for Sanjaya anyway? He is only 17, he's been on a major television show and had all of america's attention! He is probably never going to have to work again if he plays his cards right!

Anyway, I went to go see Grindhouse last week...last week? I don't know. But it was AWESOME! So awesome, in fact, it made me want to feel like a badass like all the girls in the movie, so afterwards I picked up a pack of Ultra Ultra Ultra Light American Spirits, of which I have yet to go through even half a cigarette. I know, it's awful, but I thought I deserved it. And all the cool kids in that movie were smoking!

So then I watched Sin City tonight, which I hadn't seen, and it was AWESOME too! I'm a total Robert Rodriquez convert. The only other movies I had seen of his were From Dusk til Dawn and his little mini movie in Four Rooms. And I love both of those. But now I want to be a killer prostitute like Rosario Dawson! Or a killer go go dancer like Rose McGowen!

Also I saw Spun a couple of weeks ago, and it was really good too. Made me want to be a meth addict stripper, just like Brittany Murphy!

Dream ** Me and Howard K. Stern
Category: Religion and Philosophy

My dream started with me in New Orleans, and I had just met Howard Stern, you know, Anna Nicole's Howard. Someone introduced us, I think it might have been Kimmy. So we are riding around in a jeep Uptown, and then we hear on the radio that Larry Birkhead is Anna Nicole's baby daddy. So Howard gets all upset and weepy, and I actually feel bad for him. So I'm trying to console Howard, and I think maybe, after riding around in the jeep...we might have hooked up? I'm disturbed by this.

I Spit On Your Grave , Fuckin A.
Category: Art and Photography

So I got the movie I Spit On Your Grave and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre from Netflix today, I was very excited about watching ISOYG, because I've always heard about it, but I always had thought it was usually referred to as a horror film. Texas Chain Saw Massacre is always amazing, and actually I felt these two films were very similiar...besides the long titles. If you haven't seen I Spit On Your Grave, it's awesome. It stars this very pretty, intelligent woman who rents a place in the country side to write a book shes been working on. Well, some of the locals grab her one day when she's out boating, and the rape and brutalize her. She survives, and after she heals up, she starts killing them off one by one. My favorite is when she castrates one of the men and lets him bleed to death. Morbid, sure, but shit. Throughout the whole movie this woman is portrayed as strong as shit, she fights back almost every second as she is raped, scratching, and hitting instead of just laying there and taking it. When she is running through the woods from her attackers, there is no falling over a tree root to the ground or just dropping to let them grab her. The only problem is there are 4 of them and only one of her. Otherwise I'm sure she could take them. She wins at the end of the movie and seems thouraghly satisfied. Yay!

I thought Texas Chainsaw Massacre was similiar, as you have this woman who is captured by a group of men who want to fuck her up and chainsaw her or bash her brains in, and she doesnt give up and she escapes Leatherface and his family of freaks. And at the end she rides away in the bed of a truck laughing because she won. I've always loved the end of this movie, and I love that she gets away. Fuck Leatherface! He's obviously been chainsawing folks for far too long.

 Both of these movies were made in the 70's and I just love the tenacious personality of the women in these movies! So empowering, makes you think, so what if I got raped or captured by a group of freaky mutants? I am not weak! I can get out of this, and THEN I can castrate them!

F'd in the A
Current mood: irate

Ahhhh, relief...

I got the check from my lawyer...and looks like I'm leaving on Sunday if nothing else goes wrong. I really can't wait to get out of here. My stress level has been at almost 100% capacity these last two weeks, and its nice to let a little steam off. SO until I leave its going to be easy and carefree...with a little cleaning on the side and tying up loose ends. Everybody has been so great helping me out, besides the few that have been so dead set on me leaving. I really appreciate you guys that have been so supportive this whole time.

As for the others, enough is enough. I doubt any of them will ever read this, but I mean, grow up! So I'm leaving! It's not a huge ass deal. I'm not a crazy alchoholic or drug addict who is just skipping town with a crazy boyfriend to go follow the Grateful Dead or anything. I swear, some people treat me as if I'm 14, or really irresponsible under the guise of "caring about me". But if you cared for me that much, you wouldn't make me feel bad about trusting myself. I know whats best for me and thats all there is to it. I feel like I've been having this same argument since I was 16, except now I'm 27, and have been living on my own for quite a while now.

Yeah, I'm talking about Kathy. She really, really made me mad today, and made me even madder that I thought about how mad I was about being mad. To her everyone that works at the store is about 12 years old and she is the blessed fairy woman sent in to teach all the children about "the real world" which she accomplishes by bringing them down and telling them they are shit. Now I know she does do a lot of good, and she has been very generous, but every act of mean she does cancels out about 2 weeks worth of good. I think she needs to join "the real world" and work on her people skills.

End rant.

Dreams
Category: Automotive

SO this week has been an interesting dream week, which usually means shit is going crazy, or I'm off my meds. First I had that weird miscarriage dream, then a couple of nights later (or maybe the next night) I had this dream:

I'm hanging out by a lake with my extended family (whom I haven't seen in YEARS) and I'm babysitting. My family apparently has rented a cabin by the lake and they are all racing each other on speed boats and jet skis. I don't know who was winning, it didn't even look like they were racing, it looked more like they were going to run into each other. So one of my cousins runs aground near me on her jet ski, and she is talking about how cool it is, and then what do you know? My teeth start falling out. All of them, except my two front teeth. So I'm totally embarrassed, right? They are just falling out everytime I run my tongue over them. So my cousin is talking and my teeth are falling out, and I'm trying to put them back in, trying to figure out which way they were in there in the first place. And I remember thinking, "Well thank god I still have my two front teeth! They don't look like they are going anywhere!!"

I've totally told everyone about my second dream, because it involved a co-worker, and was totally funny.

Dream #2

I have to go to the hospital, I think it was because in the dream I couldn't move my neck very well ( I think I was sleeping awkward). SO I go across the river to this hospital, which looked kind of like the crazy "hospitals" in LOST. I don't think I ever saw a doctor, but a nurse or someone told me, " All that Ecstacy you used to do accumulated in the back of your neck, and is making it so you can't move it. So we have to do a surgury where we cut your neck and drain the badness out." (Isn't that something to dissect!) So I'm waiting for my surgery, and here comes Brus (the coworker) walking around like he ownes the place. He sees me and we start talking about the surgery, and he says hes had it before and he is going to have another one before I am that day. Come to find out that Brus actually lives in the hospital (big surprise) and he lives in the basement. We both have our surgeries and I can finally move my neck, although it still hurts a little. Then Brus' boyfriend comes in and he looks JUST like Corey Haim. It might have even have been Corey Haim. So me and Corey are talking, and hes really sweet, and he is telling me all this Brus history (I can't remember it now) and we go down to Brus' "apartment" where I found his journal and looked at it. I remember being totally freaked out about it, it was creepy and had drawings of wolves all over it. Thats pretty much all I remember, besides asking Corey if he wanted to come to a party later, and then walking with Brus to work, and on the way he stopped at an electronics store and bought MP3 player after MP3 player.

I had another crazy dream last night, but I don't quite remember it now. We'll see what happens tonight!

Suspense
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes

I'm still here. It's Tuesday night. Bah. Lame. And now I'm really bored. I guess I could always go back to work at Still Perkin, which would be the sensible thing to do, until I leave anyways, but I just don't want to keep answering questions about why I'm still in town. I made such a big deal on leaving, and I'm still here, and it would be waay annoying. And it would make me feel as if I had failed in some way, although I know it isn't my fault. Stupid stupid lawyer.

Anyway, so internet is what I've been doing, if I was on Myspace too much before, look at me now! Myspace and eating frozen grapes. Which are quite good.

But I started writing this to pose the question: Is Justin Timberlake looking old and weird or is it just me?

Bummer.
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural

So I had this dream last night that I was pregnant, and I didn't realize it. But I guess I was a month pregnant or something and I had a crazy miscarriage. It was so gross, blood was gushing out of me. And so I went to the doctors, and they said that the baby had been cut in half and one half of the baby was still stuck in me, and that my body had to flush it out. Gross gross gross. And I dreamt that my friend Brand had come over to see me and was trying to tell me that my baby was mystical or something. And while all this was going on, I dreamt that Emily told me that she changed her mind and that we were moving to Texas instead of Asheville, and that Amy was coming. So I was really disappointed all over the place, and still had this dead baby stuck in my body.

Was the dead baby a bit of hope I had left that I would still leave New Orleans today? I know what the disappointment meant.

So I'm still here, in New Orleans, and I'm really bummed about it, and completely impotent. There is nothing I can do except wait, and I have NO patience. Ever. I hope on Monday I get my money, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high. The latest it will take is Friday, I am assured by everyone. I hope they are right, because its costing me money to stay here, and Emily needs me and my money up there. And I need to be up there. The End.

The Final Countdown!
Current mood: determined

Only 4 days til moving time.

AHHHH!

I am actually proud at how far I have come with the apartment, and how packed and clean everything is. I think this will officially be my best and most adult move ever! You should SEE my kitchen, and the fridge! I almost hate to move away, just to bask in my cleanliness. The bathroom is another matter, though.

I don't really have anything else to pack, mostly its just cleaning now. I've been putting furniture and whatnot on the side of the road, and this cute little old couple keeps picking stuff up and taking it home. I'm so glad its not all going to be trash. I feel like I don't have enough time though! I have so much to do, and to do some of it, I need money that is going to get to me RIGHT before I leave, so that makes me nervous. And I have a TON of work stuff to wrap up, so my Official last day on Wednesday is going to really be my second to last day. Then there is putting everything in the truck, and then actually leaving, and THEN having a chance to see everyone before I go. And after actually leaving,  I have to worry about Monkey and how he is going to do on the trip (which I know will be fine, but I still worry) and then about getting to the apartment, and how Monkey will do with another cat. Then once I'm there and set in, I have to get Monkey a doctors appointment, me a new cell phone, a new bank account, and everything else. Whew!

You know, I've moved so many times, but I always forget how difficult it is. I'm going to try and stay in one place for a bit over there.

But for the meantime, I'm trying to consolodate my worries into groups, like:

Apartment; Clean, Pack, Make pretty

Truck; Call U-Haul, Pick up truck, Pay them, get a big lock, pack it up

Drive; Make sure I have everything, calm Monkey down.

And it goes on and on...
