well, i'm still waiting to see if my house will burn. according to the fire map i've seen, the fire is less than half a mile away. they've dug a firebreak around my neighborhood, but the firefighters seem to be frightened that the fire will jump up the small canyon seperating our development from it. if it does, it will be in an area of fire-climax pines, which burn like torches. seriously, they practically explode, they're so flammable. if it gets up there, we are totally screwed; all the houses there are surrounded by those trees, and a ton of very dry underbrush.
the waiting is really unpleasant. i mean, most of my most precious possessions are either with me or were taken away by my housemates, but ... not all of them. for one thing, most of my books are in there - at least, most of the ones i care about. aargh. and i love that house. aaargh.
