I'm just Bad News Central today.
Sep. 1st, 2005 04:03 pmI'm fine, really. But I swear...I started the day hearing about people shooting at rescue helicopters in New Orleans. Someone posted on the Wench Board about young girls who poured accelerant on a horse's tail and fucking set it on fire, then bragged at school about how the poor girl ran screaming across the field. I'm reading
interdictor's LJ about looting running rampant. I'm seeing photos of people in shock and grief. I'm just emotionally wiped.
As if anything's happening to me. I'm safe, I'm dry, I have a roof and a family and fabulous animals at home. I don't know, maybe it's a Jewish thing-- no matter what, I can find the guilt in any situation. Perhaps part of my mind is wired to think I can somehow pay down my my debt of good fortune with guilt. Yeah.
On the good side, I'm almost done with
pikachette's alteration. I just need to put the bones in and redo the topstitching along the bottom edge of the bodice, and it'll be good to go. One project down, eight thousand to go.
