Hurricane Frances will fuck my shit up.

[laurelin_kit]

So, some of you know about the great Hurricane Frances. That whole thing about Charley? CHILD'S PLAY. You can call Frances "OH FUCK." Because, you see THIS? IT EATS FLORIDA!

I might as well put on a swimsuit and stick it out! Good lord! I'm terrified for my house. I don't understand all the people at school going "We have home insurance. We'll just get it fixed, no big deal." This is MY HOUSE. MY DAMN HOUSE that my dad spent years almost building from scratch. I have never lived anywhere but here and we've spent years, all the time I've been alive, adding bits and improving here and improving there and remodeling here and there and making it so much our own. I'll cry if there's serious damage. This freaks me out.

I'm leaving very early Friday morning to go to a bit above Tampa. With my grandmother as well. >.<

I have so many things I can't leave. I have to bring the ten or so notebooks I've written in over the years, the Blue Fic, the Badfic, the Young Guns fic, everything. I have to bring the laptop, my DVDs, my jewelry. And oh God, please don't let looters come. Please let everything stay in one piece, please oh God, please. Please let the barrier islands stay in one piece, and please let severepsychosis just be being pessimistic and for that not to be really true and FUCK. FUCK FUCK FUCK.

This is so unfair. Horribly, catastrophically unfair. I don't want this, I don't need this, I almost want to stay in a shelter nearby. This is really not good and I don't like it one bit.

*gnaws off fingers*

I know, I'm almost more worried about looters than anything. I can't even BEGIN to bring everything that's important to me with me. I'm sitting in my room going through things, considering my limited trunk space, and deciding what I can and can't live without. It's like "Well, it's either the statuette my now dead friend gave to me, or the teddy bear I got when I was a few months old." I'm even more afraid I'll forget something important, like I'll get back, stuff'll be distroyed and I'll think "Oh, yeah, that one thing that I loved dearly is gone...oops."

Oh, you're leaving? Where are you going? Glad your parents changed their mind about sticking it out.

I'm taking my jewelry with me, that's for damn sure. And my DVDs, and I'm gonna try to convince my parents that hiding the PCs somewhere is a good idea. God. This is awful. I feel like everything is ridiculous right now and that nothing matters but keeping everything I have and have worked for and my parents have worked for safe.

This is NOT fun, this is NOT exciting, this is horrible and I hate it. I wish we lived in a cave.

I wish I lived in *ponders* the Shire! They never get hurricanes...stupid hobbits and their good weather.

We're going to Kissimmee, so right in the path of the storm...but it's better than here and we'll be in a pretty secure hotel (it's not like a roach motel or anything.)

I'm so, so sorry you have to go through this. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like, but fuck, I'm sure it sucks. :-( I'll definitely be thinking about you, and I hope that everything will turn out all right. *hugs*
