It starts out serious

sanfrantoburntheman05 050.jpg This has nothing to do with anything, which is exactly why I put the picture here in the first place. Although, now that I think about it, I am often in my head, and so the irony is that sometimes the head is bigger than the body and that maybe if you think too much you get swallowed up by all the sand. I’m squatting, but still, I look really small in this picture. Sorry, it’s been a long day of writing.

This email was in my inbox this morning. Stephen is a boy I briefly dated, years ago, who because of said experience, has become a dear friend of mine. Last year, on my birthday, he brought his new girlfriend to my big bash, and, it turns out that I love her too! So now, I try to see him often, but for those of you who know me, I am bad at seeing anyone often *unless of course I’m having sex with you

Anyway, you didn’t need to know that to read this, but I decided to share.

Friends et al,

As you might know, I grew up in Biloxi and almost all of my family still live there. My mom and dad actually live in New Orleans. Looks like neither one was a safe bet for this hurricane.

I’m glad to report that everyone is alive and healthy. Beyond that, it’s difficult to comprehend how much is lost, and how long the recovery and rebuilding effort will take.

My parents’ house is basically underwater, as is their entire neighborhood. In Biloxi, my uncle’s house is destroyed, and my grandmother’s house is just GONE. They took my grandmother back to Biloxi afterward because she had to see what was left, and when she got to her yard, all that was left was the concrete slab foundation. No house, no nothing. There wasn’t even any debris, it was all washed away. And that

Tell Me You Love Me
