I don't know if anyone still reads this because i never ever post anymore but i just want to let everyone know what's going on with me.
My house is underwater most likely. i've lost everything i own except for a few changes of clothes, 3 pairs of shoes, and my big hatbox full of pictures. I have about $50 left to my name. My city, my life, is gone. The one permanent thing i had was New Orleans. I worked so hard to get there and made a good life for myself. True i wasn't in school and i was broke alot of the time, but I had the best circle of friends a girl could ever ask for, the best bar i've ever been to in my entire life, and my dad's house (no matter how many times i left it, it was always there waiting for me). I spent the best years of life so far there. And now it's all pretty much gone.
Yeah they're going to rebuild it somewhat. And maybe in 6 months we'll be allowed back in. I'll get to drive around and see remnants of what my life used to consist of. Maybe. Who knows! it'll never be the same. Everything's all fucked up now.
Bradley and I evacuated to Baton Rouge together so at least I have him. Together we've lost everything. We're driving to Birmingham, AL to spend a day with my family there before we go to Chicago on Wednesday. We decided that since we have no where else to go we might as well start over there. I don't get to take Eva with me, she's staying in Alabama with the Studdards, so i'm pretty upset about that. But hopefully, together we'll make enough money to fly her up after we get our own apartment and stuff. I don't know! Nothing's for sure anymore.
Thanks to everyone who helped us out and I love all of you.
So if anyone I love is ever in Chicago, give me a call (504) 810-4880.
