lunabee34In a very emotional and trying week, these are the bits of shiny that've helped me through:
1. I finally know that all my family is okay, with relatively little property damage. Some of their houses were damaged, but nothing unfixable. Josh's cousin, who was in NO when the hurricane hit, is alive and walking out of NO on the interstate. Those pictures of people walking out of the city, pushing shopping carts and carrying duffel bags? He's one of them.
2. I've talked to people I haven't talked to in years or months, old highschool buds calling up to see if I'm alright or to ask about friends and family still left in Hattiesburg. It's nice to talk to them even if it is through such a tragedy that we reconnected.
3. Lisa came over and brought the first two Serenity comics!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4. My sister just IMed this quote to me: "Couple of display marks before I start. One, I realize that this is not Citizen Kane - uh, Citizen Kane is in black and white and it's about bald guys, and I realize they're not one in the same. However, during the creative process it tends to feel like one is making Citizen Kane because of the difficulty involved and you just have to get yourself in the mindset that everything you are doing is incredibly important and genius, so if I discuss this as though it is the greatest work of fiction in the history of America, it is because I sort of had to feel that way and because every decision you make as an artist is important to you at the time and has meaning even if it doesn't add up to a famous black and white movie about a bald guy" -Joss Whedon, on Buffy
5. All of you who have emailed me or commented to me in lj, your thoughts and prayers have meant so much. *hugs*

Date: 2005-09-02 03:22 am (UTC)My prayers and well wishes go to Josh's cousin making his way out of NO on foot. May the angels keep him and your friends safe.
Also, I pray for the return of human decency and sanity is a city and state struck by chaos.
Glad to hear that your family made out alright, considering.
*bends head in prayer of safekeeping and thanks*

Having lj has really made this a better experience for me, to see first hand how people really do care and to watch them comfort their online friends.

I'm kinda taking a break from the news. It just gets overwhelming.
