It's totally insane. The hideously-titled Dept. of Homeland Security was supposed to be a quick reaction entity. Nice fucking work, assholes. I swear to God, I've been watching this shit live for a week, and the only group I've got any respect for is the Army Corps of Engineers. Talk about professionals. Much love to them.

Idea I had while showering: the work ghost is trying to turn all the lights off to entice burglars in so it can devour them. Yum! Your lucky rock protects you, though, which is why it can't eat you at night. But, it's getting stronger...

*cue title sequence*

Sounds like spooky stuff, fb. Ouija boards have interested me since my early teens but not sure I've ever used one. Heard too many tales of warning about them summoning things from places that never were etc

What was the reason given for leaving the rescue response so late?

Yeah. Fucking aweful. I was absolutely appaled a few days ago when they had temporarily stopped evacuating people so that they could focus on enforcing the law and stopping the "looters". WTF? Obviously, the people who are taking food and supplies from the stores aren't "looting". The really really fucking obvious way to end "looting" would be to send in food and supplies and evacuate everyone immediately. Ugh. I wrote a long post (which I never finished and thus never posted) about how pissed off I was that the government and media were trying to portray the survivors as criminals.

Triplets- That's the $64,000 question, really. Where was the aid? Where was the Guard? Where the fuck were these people whose job it is to help the average family? Not in New Orleans, apparently.

I get more pissed off as time goes by. I'm poor as fuck, so all I can really do is offer my apartment as temporary housing. Unfortunately, I'm about as far up the coast as you can get, so I've had no takers. I want to help so fucking much, but I can't seem to do a damn thing.

I hope it's not my lucky rock that's protecting me, because the kids who live here don't have lucky rocks. What's keeping it from eating them? Oh, and the lights were on when those kids broke in a while back. Yep.

"I'm poor as fuck, so all I can really do is offer my apartment as temporary housing. Unfortunately, I'm about as far up the coast as you can get, so I've had no takers."

Yeah, I wish I could do something. I was thinking of offering to let someone sleep on my couch, but I don't think there are many people who would want to (or be able to) travel to California to sleep on a couch in a studio (yeah, my house is a studio. yes, it is actually a house. it's probably the smallest house I've ever seen.)

Can't you just live inside your pants?
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
09:01 / 04.09.05
You might as well give people the option. There's a list to sign up on at moveon.org.

I know that no one will probably want to come this far up the coast, but it's really the only thing I can do to help.

quite possibly. Maybe I should send these pants to Texas so that someone else could live in them. The people who're running the astrodome shelter wouldn't think anything of it. They'd hand the pants over to some kid, and the kid would reach in the pocket....

You're a good bloke, Jake. Don't fret it. You want to try, s'more than could be said for others.

ok, I've done it. I've posted a listing on that website offering to let one person come and stay in my house.

damn....now I'm sort of, um, worried. ya know? I mean, I've just posted my phone number on the internet, and the idea of letting a total stranger into my house is sort of scary. I don't think they'll rob me. I just....I think they'll think I'm a freak, really. Between the doll collection and the altar (it's new....I'm very, very new to magick. how do people react to that sort of stuff?) and the fact that I'm transgender and um....I don't know. I mean, everyone who sees the inside of my house thinks it's strange. *sigh*

Just treat them like any other room-mate. If they act like a dick: chuck 'em out or go kung-fu breadknife on them. At the end of the day I can't see this person thinking "yeah, I'll rob this person and go back to being homeless". Unless they're a pirate. Pirates are awesome.

Also: yay for you, fb! You're good people!

Thanks. Yeah, I wouldn't expect them to rob me. I just....I don't know. I've had problems with roommates in the past, and sharing a room with someone is difficult. And I can't just toss out someone who has nothing, and who's travelled all the way to California expecting a place to stay, unless they're really awful. Which they won't be. I shouldn't be worried. And really, it's that they're going to think I'm a freak. I mean, dude, you haven't seen my doll collection. It's huge, and it's not a collection of nice dolls. I collect one specific type of doll, and I'll take them in any condition, so most of them are in pretty bad condition. I have two with modly heads, one with weird scars (my friend found her stuck on a fencepost, I had to reattach her head and close up the holes in her face and back), etc. And I talk to my dolls, of course. That's what they're there for. It's not as if I want to sit around brushing their hair or something. Eh...they'll get used to me being weird. They'll have to.

If they ever show up here. It's probably a moot point, now that I've realized that hurricanehousing.org has made it so that the listing I put up isn't accessible by searching. If you look at the website, you'll notice that they give a small list of cities that you can search for housing within (at most) 350 miles of. I live more than 350 miles from Los Angeles, the closest city in the list. At least, I think it's more than 350 miles. I guess it could be within 350. I'm going to try to see if I can find my own listing by searching, and if I can't, I'll email the people running the website about it.

"I have two with modly heads"

moldy, that is. As in, they have mold spots on them. Gross, eh? I still think they're adorable.

Yeah, that would be fucked up.

What kind of twisted mockeries of human shape are we talking about here?

Cabbage Patch Kids. (so yeah, most of them have yarn hair, so I wouldn't want to brush it anyway, but some have brushable hair, and I braid it and leave it that way forever so that it doesn't get tangled. I have a lot of CPK's with tangled hair because I didn't brush it when I was a kid)

Go and get a snack, then. I'm full, I just recently had dinner with the whole family. My sis is in town for the long week-end, and we went out and had a family dinner.
