The Mouth Man, Domestic Violence, and This Goddamned Wallpaper.

Jun 13, 2006 09:15

I'm currently sitting in the Domestic Violence Advocate's office in Mason County, namely Point Pleasant, Wv. the town made famous by the legend of "the moth man" or as Andy so lovingly refers to him as the "mouth man." Here in the bowels of West Virginia...well, maybe not the bowels, it feels more like the cockles of West Virginia.

At any rate, I am spending some time with my sister, remodeling the office, so DV's don't end up walking back INTO a shitty environment when they leave their spouses and whatnot. I'm almost shadowing her too, as she's going to court, and taking care of victims and calling around for various services. I don't see how she does it, but I've devoloped a greater respect for my big sis, as she is working a thankless job, and helping people who really need it. It's rather amazing, considering that she first went off to school for English. She was going to be a teacher, now she serves retraining orders and stand up for the little people. Much respect.

I have plans to take pictures later this evening with the large pewter-gold "Mouth Man" statue off one of the side streets here in Point Pleasant. These pictures will be both hillarious and a little bit sexual, no doubt. I have a thing for statues, and dead people, and fish, and goats, but we all have our own little kinks right? for the record, none of that's true....except for the goats. I mean, er, yes....that's also false. (Did they catch on? I hope not).

Anyhow, I'll let all my readER get back to his/her life, as this is a rather meaningless post anyhow.
