28 year old
Pagan female who lives in Florida with her guy and two cats,
loves Disney, reads fanatically, tinkers in photography and
believes growing up is overrated.
There are people on the net that have nothing better to do
with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

A Personal Request for Help I know there are millions of people that need help, but right now, I'm putting out a call for just one of them. If anyone can help, please let me know.
There's a very nice lady named Sarya. She's very good friends with a dear friend of mine, Dawna. Sarya lives in Meterie, Louisiana. She was able to get out and is currently safe in a motel in Baton Rouge. Sadly, that's not the end of the story. Her and seven family members (including her autistic son) are living in a one-bed motel room with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
From Dawna:
She has a FEMA number and is waiting on word from FEMA for assistance. However, she cannot get through to the Red Cross. They left Metairie with the clothes on their backs, the furbabies and NOTHING else.
This is where the call for help comes into play. Again, from Dawna:
She has NO transportation to go back and get her precious few things that she wants to retrieve and the window for going back to Jefferson Parish is closing FRIDAY. If you have ANY way of getting her a truck or transportation to go back and get some clothes and the few precious family photos she wants to retrieve, PLEASE contact me dawna at livejournal.com so I can give you information on how to contact her.
What she needs is someone - anyone - in the area that can get into her apartment for her and retrieve some of her stuff. So I'm hoping that by helping put out the call someone who's in the area (or in driving distance) can offer a little of their time and help. My friend Dawna is in Ohio and while I'm in Florida, my car would never make the ten-hour drive to LA.
I know there's so many people in this same situtation but if anyone can help or knows someone who can, please, your help is desperately needed.
I can't even imagine what it must be like for her. I can't even wrap my head around how devistating it would be. I just hope someone can help and I heop something can be salvaged from all of this. Hell, she doesn't even know the state of her apartment or what (if anything) is even salvagable to start with.
This entry details the situation. dawna(at)livejournal.com is dawna's email address. If you could please contact her at one of the two places if you can help, we'd all greatly appreciate it.
