somebody just told me they were watching a new story on CNN about city cops in New Orleans looting, randomly stealing things like generators out of hospitals. this seems unbelievable. <\/p>\n
christine\u2019s parents got up at five this morning, trying to leave their small town outside of houston, only to be stuck in traffic for hours, finally going home to wait out the storm. everybody\u2019s running out of gas.<\/p>\n
i feel like there\u2019s this very very thin delicate line between civilization and anarchy, and the anarchy keeps moving to the forefront. <\/p>\n
is the world going to end soon?<\/p>\n
if so, i must start eating more cookies.<\/p>\n
*sigh*<\/p>\n
in playwriting class tonight, people were describing their story ideas. it seems there\u2019s only one other person in class who\u2019s going to write something comedic. most of the other ideas involve angst, alcoholism, arguing, strife, trouble, trouble, and more trouble. during the break, two students were talking about how it\u2019s easier to write something to make a person cry, and they were discussing about how humor is so subjective…<\/p>\n
all i could think was, i have to try to cheer myself up by writing something funny. i don\u2019t want to watch something depressing and sad, there\u2019s too much of that in real life. i want to be entertained, i want to laugh, i want to turn my frown upside down.<\/p>\n
that\u2019s what randy keeps saying to me, every day. “turn that frown upside down, grace,” he keeps saying to me. luckily he\u2019s usually talking to me on the phone when he says it, so i don\u2019t have to smack him.<\/p>\n
i hope christine\u2019s family is ok, and remains that way.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
grace going to bed early tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
