   Why am I laughing? I should not be laughing...
Hysterical laughter is NOT my friend. Hurricane Charley just swept across my town--the eye passed right over my neighborhood! Right now I'm holed up in a Holiday Inn Express in Ft. Pierce (that's on the east coast of Florida), watching the Weather Channel and suppressing the urge to cry. My mum is absolutely livid--she's a pretty religious lady (versus me...but we all already know that), but she is so mad right now; she can't figure out "how a righteous and just God that's been f*cking with me my whole life can do that". She seriously said the F-word! That's a big deal--my mum just does not curse, and if something slips, she either mutes herself or flinches or both. I'm about ready to cry for her, but everytime I start, she starts, and I stop because I cannot stand to watch my mummy cry. The family's okay though--my brother is here in Ft. Pierce with me and my mum, and my dad is holed up at the county jail. He's a deputy for the PD, and the emergency measures meant he (and a bunch of other people) had to go and hole up at the jail. He's got his cell phone though, so we're not cut off. He sounds ragged though...I miss my dad so much.
Right now mum has taken a soujourn to the lobby in search of a book--we left the house with the insurance stuff, the clothes on our back, a little bag of clothes, my laptop, and some toys for my brother. We just took the bare essentials. That's okay though--the hotel's pretty nice--there's a blowdryer and a coffee pot in the bathroom, the AC works really well (the phone jack and table are right next to it, so it's blowing on me), and my brother's handling it all okay. He freaks about storms, which was one of the main reasons for our leaving--that was when that bastard Charley was just a category 2 hurricane. Then it jumped from 2 to 4 in less than an hour, and went tearing through the coast...I just want to cry so bad right now! But I cried a little bit earlier, and there aren't any real tears left. That's good though--gotta keep it together.

Onto happier news--everyone notice the cheerful yellow redecoration? The Sanosuke theme song? Do we all remember what that means? Huh? ^^ I'll stop with the questions now. I aced my testing for yellow belt! I even snapped the board in half! It wasn't a straight line down the middle...it went at an angle again--but the halves are damn near equal in size, and it didn't splinter like the other board did. I'll get my belt next week...hopefully...ya know. Anyways...I'll have it before I go up to school, and hopefully there'll be a dojo to continue out once I get there. I really like tae kwan do. ^^

I also got a haircut today. It's a cute lil bob, and the humidity is making my hair curl like you wouldn't believe. It's really cute, but the lady suggested hilights, and stupid me went along with it. They're so bright right now! They're almost the same color as the background of this page. Frightening, I know. I really don't like them, but my mom thinks they're uber cute, so I'm just going "oh well, it's so different you know, still getting used to it, yada yada yada". The usual. ^^

Now I'm going to apologize for missing everyone's updates and lives. I know it's stupid and I have a very good reason not to have, but I've missed you guys! You're all so amusing and nice. ^^ I promise, I'm off to the updates. I swear...NO! STOP BEATING ME! OW, IT HURTS! NO, NOT THAT...NOT THAT!!!! [End Transmission]

Am I kooky, or what? ^^
