I won't be eating a portabello sandwhich from Kerbey Lane for a loonng time.
So, I'm at my brother's house right now. We are barbeque-ing tonight, so I'm looking forward to good food. I love hanging out with Juju too.
That would be my niece.
So about the last few days...my last entry was on Thursday...the next day went to class etc. Then Oli called and said he'd be leaving that night. I only got a message from him so I was pissed, but I finally talked to him. And he'd been calling me when he landed in Baltimore, etc. But since Friday night I haven't heard from him. I'll get used to it.
And of course I owe it to Alex to make me think twice about everything. And just so you know Alex, I am still just thinking about what we discussed. You will be disappointed to know that nothing has set in yet. But thanks anyways
I also owe it to Alex for my throwing up at 5:30 in the morning on Saturday morning. It wasn't his fault, but we went to Kerbey Lane and by the time I left his house...it had hit me...all kinds of things were hitting me...but mostly that I was gonna be sick..and I'm hoping it was nerves and not Kerbey Lane. Because I can get over being a nervous wreck, but I will never get over wanting to go to Kerbey Lane at 2 in the morning.
My brother Henry, and my mom and i went to Ziyad's last night for dinner and that was a blast. We sat around with his family and laughed to no end about all kinds of stuff. Good new food too.
when we got home, I decided that I was going to go downtown to the convention center to help with the evacuees from LA that were already arriving. They needed people overnight and I figured I'm going to be here at home in round rock...watching the five channels that we have and talking on IM...or im going to get in my car and drive down there. Becuase you know...i have a car now...mwuhhahahaha. Anways. Well I get down there and there was this massive line of volunteers waiting to sign in. And after an hour of waiting, they sent us away because they had too many people. It's a good problem to have I guess. They must have sent about 200 people home. I could see inside and there was tons of cots and people already inside and it was just insane. I have never seen anything like that. After watching the news this past week...it looked just like it does on tv. But what was so disturbing about it, is that it looked like something youd see happening in another country. Not here. it looked like...i dont know just awful. And as I was driving down there, there was soo much traffic and i was thinking...are these all volunteers coming down here or are the evacuees getting here in their own cars...and I watched people in their cars and realized...oh there's a girl with her cute little sequined top and mini skirt on her way to 6th street to get drunk.
I don't want to offend anyone...I really don't, but it's just crazy how this can be happening on the same block that I can hear freaking clubbin music as I walk from my car. People aren't aware. And if they were they might not have been givin the oppurtunity to help or might not have wanted to. But it's just weird for me. We do this all time and so do i...while people are suffering else where and I have ignored it before. But it was right in front of me and this time I didnt want to ignore it. I don't want to ignore this kind of stuff anymore. I'm starting to become that person who doesn't want to argue about the politics of it, but if I can do something to help the people that can't afford to wait for us to finish fighting over it...then I want to. I can't say that I don't disagree and support things in politics that I want to be open about...but it's pointless sometimes. Right now...my arguing wont get me much...so im gonna do what i can..until maybe one day I will feel like im in more of a position to do argue.
If you didn't like that, I'm sorry. I don't care. You didn't have to read it. It wasn't that offensive but still.
I'm going to eat now before I get light headed.
