This is an email that Kathleen copied me on today. She also copied
ALL of our mutual friends and her friends on this. I think it's
great what she is doing for those people. If you guys have anything
to contribute, I'll see that it gets to the right place, just let me
know.

As for the part she interjected about us, I think it speaks for
itself, especially in the context that it is written. Of all the
things to bring up when asking for help for hurricane victims.
Always remember there are two sides to every story

Subject: Family of 4 evacuees moving in with me

Hello everyone again :) I have a new development and could be called
back to New Orleans any minute now so I am putting the word out now
in case I have to leave soon so here goes!

I have been working all morning on getting a family of 4 that are in
a shelter in Winnie, TX up here to house them in the apt. in the
metal building. It is 2 adults and 2 children and they lost
everything but their car and the clothes on their backs in New
Orleans.

They are currently working with FEMA to get travel/clothing/gas
vouchers at the Beaumont Shelter I worked the last 4 days and are
hoping they can be here on Wedensday or shortly there after. My
concern is I will be sent to New Orleans right around the time they
are getting here and I am gonna need help getting these people
welcomed and settled. Thats where all of you come in if you can :)
Since I spent 96 hours with 3 thousand traumatized refugee's, I can
tell you that simple talk, touching, welcoming and support is the
absolute BEST thing we can do for them and I would like them to have
all of that when I am not here. Of course they are gonna need
clothing/furniture/dishes/stuff and I will need help with that too
but human contact and re-assurance that they are not alone is SO
vitally important I am asking that you help me with that aspect too
if you can swing it. As things develop I will get the info to you
either myself if I am still here or through Ted and Jen if I go back
sooner than later, K?

I wanted all of you to know how gratefull I am for all of your
donations and emotional support during this time. Since Crash broke
my heart and jerked my world out from underneath me, I have been so
sad and devestated that getting through the day has been all I can do
just to get by. It has been one of the saddest and hardest things I
have ever had to go through and it has been pure hell that he did
this to me so cruely and casually. But over the last week or so, all
of you have been so loving, kind, supportive and THERE that I see all
of you in a new perspective and cannot express how GRATEFULL I feel
that I have all of you. It is helping me to heal a little so I can be
there for all of the evacuee's and I wanted you to know that. I
couldn't step up to this plate when I am hurting as bad as I am am
every second of every day without your love so don't believe for a
single second that your contribution is small or inconsequential. You
are providing the inspiration for me to do this so you are all there
with me in spirit. Believe it. It's the truth!

I love all of you,

Kathleen

thanks for the info. She probably sent it to my spambox at
freaks.net, which I never check because it's too full of spam!

It's very nice of her to do that...

I don't think it was too cool to slam you like that, though.

Anyhoo...I'll see ya tonight at dinner, I guess, and we can chat
about this more if you like.

*hugs*

She sent it to me accidentally. She also refused my offered
contributions.

I believe it's ALL about her, not as much about the people she is
helping (although it is still great that she is helping). She has to
save the world in order to gain external validation and feel adequate.
That's my opinion. Same reason she makes me out to be so evil to all
of our friends, her family, etc. etc. We can talk later. It's got me
pretty riled up.

I'm stupidly happy
Everything's fine
I'm stupidly happy
My heart pumping wine
I'm stupidly happy
With idiot grin
I'm stupidly happy
You won't catch me in

All the birds of the air call your name as they land on my kitchen
roof
All the fish in the sea do the same if you need extra proof

I'm stupidly happy
My vision is skewed
I'm stupidly happy
I'm coming unscrewed

And if the Devil walks up dressed in any disguise
I take him by the collars look him in the eye
I'm stupidly happy
Now you're my defense
I'm stupidly happy
It's all making sense

I'm stupidly happy
I roll like a train
I'm stupidly happy
With you in my brain

All the lights of the cars in the town form the strings of a big
guitar
I'm a giant to play you a tune for wherever you are
I'm stupidly happy
Are the words to that song
I'm stupidly happy
And nothing is wrong
And should the Devil walk up with his business card out
I'll tear it to confetti with a grin and shout,
"I'm stupidly happy"
All of the time
I'm stupidly happy
Now you're mine

Onyx: hey you!
evile: hi! What are you doing on here?
Onyx: I am playing hookie. I wanted to check with you. I am about
to buy wicked tickets. I was thinking the weekend of November 12.
They are about $100. Are you still in?
evile: oof...that's a little high. I'd probably go 50 but not $100.
Onyx: that may be in new york...my website is giving me issues to sI
amstill checking
Onyx: okay I am an idiot...that is in new york
evile: Ok then.
Onyx: I am on dial up but I should be able to let you know how much
they are soon. Does the 12th work for you? of November...
evile: yeah, very well. Office is closed the 11th, even
Onyx: cool...what is the 11th?
evile: Veterans day
Onyx: ah...
Onyx: hey..I wonder if there are refugees in the venue that is
supposed to be showing wicked.
evile: it's possible.
Onyx: i think i will call and ask
evile: hopefully they'll have more permanent housing by November,
don't you think?
Onyx: i hope
evile: Are you still skipping Central Market tonight?
Onyx: yeah....i think...walking with jon...unless he stands me up
evile: Oh, OK then :)
Onyx: i know...i have issues
Onyx: i was so flustered that i didn't nptice what day
Onyx: or separate seats okay with ypu?
Onyx: there r not 3 together
evile: if that's the only way to do it....
Onyx: yeah..it is kind of a bummer...is the 2pm showing okay or do
you want 8 pm?
evile: Either is fine.
Onyx: okay...i am holding while he figures out the options
Onyx: 92 is too much ?
evile: yeah...I think so.
Onyx: okay...so don't buy it?
evile: Not for me, anyway.
Onyx: since they would have sepetate anyway so you could one
seperately if you want...maybe you can get price
evile: yup. I'll check around & see if I can get a better deal. If
not, oh well.
Onyx: it is a bummer...this might have been more expensive of
handicapped
evile: that shouldn't be.
Onyx: i don't know...i think t broke this guy
evile: I can get a ticket for the 8 pm for $70 +tax. Not much better
than $96
Onyx: yeah...there were all these extra fees that got tacked on the
end
evile: I liked the book, and I like some of the songs I've heard on
Launchcast, but I'm not generally a musical-going person...so. Bleh.
I just don't know if I'll find it enjoyable enough to spend that kind
of $.
Onyx: i hear you...i just want to do something special for my bday
and neworleans is so not happening
evile: Meg may still want to go to the show.
Onyx: yes..i know...
Onyx: hey...sorry..I wanted to go together...
Onyx: now I am bummed...do you want to go to TRF the weekend that we
were supposed to go to New Orleans?
evile: Maybe. I know Sweetie and Peglegasus want to go to TRF at least once this
year.
Onyx: i still need to meet Peglegasus
evile: Yeah. His work schedule is funky, and so is yours, so y'all
have never been able to do stuff with me/us at the same time.
evile: He might come by my house Friday for gumbo on his lunch break.
I think I'm making a vegetarian batch & a regular batch, for my aunt
& uncle, if you're interested. The house is *disgusting*, but you're
welcome.
Onyx: hey...that sounds great...really?
evile: I am not talking a little clutter & boxes, I'm talking
disgusting for real.
Onyx: do you get friday off ?
evile: I am taking a sick day tomorrow to hopefully get the worst
taken care of..but only so much I can do since a lot of it is Sweetie's
crap. But, yeah, 7 ish. I'm going to make hurricane s& gumbo and
rent some movies about New Orleans or set in New orleans.
evile: I am working Friday, but will be home from work around 5.
Onyx: i have a doctor's appoint at 4 i will see how feel
evile: *hugs* Hope it all goes OK!
Onyx: it would be really nice to see you...yay i love mental health
days as sick days
evile: me too. They are vitally necessary around there, too.
Onyx: yeah...it is one of the few perks of state employment
Onyx: at least I got a comp day for Monday...
Onyx: hey...I need to get off line to call about some prescriptions.
Onyx: It was great talking to you...if jon stands me up or cancels or
whatever I will see you at first Wednesday...if not hopefully I will
see you Friday.
evile: OK *hugs* take care!
Onyx: *hugs*

evile: yay. I think ICQ2 go is working again for now...
SkyeDS: nods. I was typing along yesterday and then wtf...
SkyeDS: had just said, I feel for fugaciouslover and her thanksgiving
plight
evile: yup. And when I tried to log back in, it said I'd been logging
in too much and try again later. Whatever.
evile: I imagine fugaciouslover would keel over dead seeing the kind
of madness *we* have to deal with at Thanksgiving.
SkyeDS: maybe there will be fewer participants this year.
evile: don't know, don't care. I'll be there because it's important
to [aunt L]
evile: And I will have wine recommendations from J-Law. That will make
just about anyone tolerable.
SkyeDS: ;)
evile: she and Shane are going tasting this weekend.
evile: i can't wait for 4 today (actually, 3:50, I got an earlier
bus)...boss is nit picking me to fuckin' death.
SkyeDS: :(
SkyeDS: I don't know what they hope to accomplish when they're like
that (bosses)
evile: I call it 'sniping'--she is just telling me how I screwed this
up, screwed that up...no way to fix any of it, so why keep knocking
me down?
evile: Oh well. There went my work ethic for today.
evile: she is not bright or intuitive enough to see a correlation
between her sniping and my lack of production, but it's definitely
there
SkyeDS: I think Hugh sees it. Or feels it, maybe. He gets that way
and I get just barely visibly surly, just showing edge
SkyeDS: and he has yet to ever acknowledge or apologize but usually
he goes out and comes back with an attitude adjustment
evile: *nod* better than nothin, I guess.
SkyeDS: brb need to install software
evile: ok :) I get to leave at 3:50 today so 'bye if I'm gone when
you're back :)
SkyeDS: /me leaves HUGS for you and wishes wind to your wings :D
evile: *hugs*
