    Time Event
    11:55p
    Wanna get lost?
    Hurricane Katrina, that's some messed up stuff. A natural disaster that did more damage than any terrorist ever has--in America. That's not India where the big wave killed hundreds of thousands. That was in America, people. America. This is where we live. Do we just shrug because we're in Michigan? No. Totally not. I've heard of some pretty amazing things people are doing around here to support relief efforts. Amazing things that Americans are doing to help Americans.

    Hey. I wanna go. I'm crazy wanting to go help down South. My uncle (of all people) went down there and drove a motorhome down and flew back. And he just got done telling my mom that he feels like he has to go again--he has the time and it isn't going to kill him to take a week off....I want to help too. I've been reading over my entries and I'm kinda realizing that my life revolves around just that--my life. And it makes me silly to say that it makes me a good Christian girl to worry and only want to worry about my stupid screwed up attempt at having a life. God forgive me. I confess that I am very self-centered in my day to day activities. And yet I have all these people--shrinks, doctors, friends--telling me that I really have to start looking out for myself more. I can agree with that, sure. Sure I have to start looking after myself more if I ever want to think about having my own house and a nice car and lots of fun parties on the weekend or an awesome computer to play games and write music on.....And all those things are ALL I "really want" for my birthday. It's okay. You can laugh. I am being a little ridiculous, however...ahem.

    Well, I guess I just really want to help people. I wish I could really want that anyways. Maybe if I post this one, I'll get someone who might support my effort to wanna care. And maybe a little spark can ignite a little flame of people who would like to join my effort. I don't know what all that means, but maybe someone out there will.
