Hurricane? Pah!

So much for Rita. Supposed to come smack where I live (Corpus Christi) but now it looks like Louisiana is gonna get pwned again. Or maybe Houston. Hopefully it'll just decide to go and finish the job in New Orleans. Nobody there anyway.

We had originally planed to fly out today, but there's no point now so we're just trying to work up the energy to go and undo the boards over the windows...

And my poor best friend...she asked the guy out Wednesday. Not only did he say, no, not only was his excuse lame (Uh...I was planning on asking this other girl out...) but he lied to boot. I had asked him, twice, what his plans were and the first time he said "Well, I think I'll go but probably not with anyone." and the second time "Oh, there's nobody I wanna ask out and I don't think I'll be going anyway." And the second time was only a few hours before my best friend asked him out. Oh and furthermore, the girl he said he was going to ask out already has a steady boyfriend and has had'em for about a year or so and I would be somewhat surprised to learn he didn't know that. Oh, I suppose this all could be innnocent...perhaps he changed his mind over the day. And the fact that he spent two days with said girl having her help him with a project he's doing this year that she had to do last year might indicate he has some sort of affection for her beyond friends. HOwever, the odds of him not knowing about her bf, precisely because of that time together, are slim. My best friend's not sure what she wants to do about yet. God be with her, whatever she does.
