The Divine Secrets of a Southern Diva

Fuck off, Ike. I’m so over you.

I’m currently at my brother’s house in Porter, better known as “South Dallas”. It’s just outside the most northern part of Houston and feels like we are a million miles from the city. We are only about 30 miles away or so, but still. We are in bumfuck nowhere. He has a beautiful home complete with power so its all good. Its like I’m on vacation!

I’ve turned to booze to help me cope. I got stupid drunk with Sarah Wednesday night. Then Thursday I drank a bottle of wine. And yesterday the water stopped at the office so we all left and drank all afternoon.

I humbly apologize to all those I harassed on Facebook. It’s the only thing I have easy access to on my phone and it makes me feel like I’m not living in 1834.

If I don’t get power soon I’m going to have to fuck someone up. My house smells like rotting feet. There is something stuck in my garbage disposal that is rotting and I think the rug in my kitchen got wet or something from the freezer leaked on it. Either way, I can’t clean it and it freakin stinks.

Couple all that with seeing all my neighbors coming and going like normal with their fancy power watching TV and living in air condition makes me want to beat some serious ass. And cry a little bit.

I shouldn’t bitch because my manager’s house is seriously fubar’d and I think the insurance assholes are fucking up the booty over it. Douche nozzles.

So, I’ve played more Phase 10 and scrabble than I had in years. I’ve gained back all the weight I lost because all I’ve done is eaten. I mean, what the fuck else am I supposed to do?

Everyone is coming over today for a post- hurricane party. Seth and Sarah have thier power back so it’s just me and the parents who don’t. We are grilling steaks and drinking a lot. Day 4 drunk!

Also, greedy shitty people never cease to amaze me. For the most part, people in Houston have been courteous and attempting to help their fellow peeps in need. But there are always the hateful shit-asses who just want to fuck the system.  This bitch is one of them. Her name is Jacki Steinhauer.  This dumb bitch is a teacher at Baytown Lee High School and lives in Deer Park.  She wrote blogs detailing how even though she has power, she’s going around to FEMA PODs and stockpiling water, ice and MREs (meals ready to eat). She’s had power since SUNDAY.  She goes on about making a FEMA claim even though she doesn’t have much damage. The blog has been removed because her school and the city of Baytown were made aware of it after the blog circled the ‘net. KHOU, the CBS affiliate, even interviewed her. Unfucking believable.

The dumb bitch even linked her school blog with her full name and work email on it. She should be shunned for shear stupidity.

There are people who are really in desperate need of food and supplies. People who don’t even have homes in her area anymore. And this bitch is off work, getting paid for it and stealing from those people. I mean, we’ve not had power for 8 days, but we’ve not gone to a FEMA POD once. We are fortunate enough to be able to fend for ourselves and have family around to help us through it by giving us a cooler and meat to grill from their freezer. Even if we didn’t have that, we had plenty of water and would have figured something out for food without FEMA- not because we are proud or anything like that- but because there are people who are ACTUALLY in need of those things.

I hope that teacher is fired or just shamed into hiding forever.

ANYWAY. Party starting. Holler.

Drinking away the days..
