Got back from the shelter yesterday, kids. There wasn't really any damage to our house; our mailbox flew down the street and i found it in my neighbor's yard full of water, and maybe our skylights are leaking, but thats it. The shelter definately was an interesting experience. some people expect so much, and it was about 700 people and 12-14 volunteers! everyone is cramped and hot and uncomfortable and it makes them really grouchy. There were some mormon missionaries there to volunteer, which was interesting. They called themselves "Elder", and always went in pairs. Something funny, one of
the mormon's found people makin the sex in one of the rooms, and it was really interesting and amusing the way he handled it. Everyone complained like we were only there to serve them. What do they want, freakin mints on their pillows? the food was like school food, which i like, so it wasn't bad. I got to hang out with other kid's whose parents work there, which was a flashback because we used to hang out afterschool when we were little, and we never talk to each other anymore. They think im some punk drama freak, one is a wigger and the last girl is this preppy cheerleader type,but when all you have to do is sit in the dark and play poker, you bond i guess. It was really interesting, but im glad im home with food and power! Frances was really a pansy of a storm, compaired to charley. Im still really sorry for everyone who had damage though, i hope it gets better for you. oh, and im sick, yea, its good times. well, thats it for now, peace.
