Its a set up
So I will be going down to louisiana with 300 of my fellow coworkers over a 10 week period to rebuild homes.
My group of about 30 people are going september 17-20 to Slidell, La. Where we will be laying foundation, framing, painting, drywalling etc.
Its a shiny happy good deed. So why am I nervous about it?
Its like 1 year -to the day- that I went down there last year, and Rita hit. Megan and I went through all that together, and the really creepy part is that I spoke to her last night on the phone and turns out she is heading back down there the same friggin weekend. I'm not -real- worried about another hurricane, this seasons been pretty mild. But just that the whole situation is so alike to the last one that it just makes me nervous, as I do not want to go through all that again. I was going back over my entries in here when all that happend and it doesn't sound like I was having very much fun....
The hardest part was just not knowing. You know, you dont know where everyone is, you get seperated from people. I mean I ended up evacuating at 3am and staying at a full blown hippi commune for 3 days you know. Not being able to get back home was the hardest. All traffic and all lanes were going out of Houston anyway so I couldnt have got to the airport if I wanted to. But in a way it was good because I did get to see SO many people and places before it all got oblitered hehe.
We had a going away party for chaney and drew that weekend who were going into the navy and 1-2 days before we had to evac I got to see like 20 people I hadnt seen since graduation and have a good time and everything, and I got to see my family too. I got to hang out at Lamar all day and sit and talk with my old friends.
blah, speaking of: I HAVE to be able to go to renfest this year. But megan can't afford the plane ride down there, and if she doesnt go it wont be worth going. So if anyone wants to shove a few 20's my way so she can come *wink wink*
