Sandy

Hurricane supplies:

one can of cheddar pringles
one expensive bottle of mocha Starbucks stuff
one bottle of water
one macintosh apple.

I have my window open and the air is cold and the sky is sort of gray.

I went in to CVS after work to buy stuff and most of the water was gone.

My manager emailed everyone on staff to say that the store would be closed tomorrow, and possibly Tuesday as well. He ended the email by writing, "miracles happen during hurricanes, so keep your eyes open."

I love that idea, but the fact of the matter is that I'll be sitting alone in my room for all of tonight and most of tomorrow, unless I venture outside.

I'm sick of being alone. IT SUCKS.

Other people were talking about how they were going to eat dinner at a friend's house and then be driven home after, and other people are going to play drinking games for the length of the storm. A friend of mine told me to "stay safe during the hurricane", and I know that she'll be home with her family, where there will probably be candles and board games and plenty of food.

Anyway, I'm done whining now. If the power doesn't go out here I'll be able to spend time reading, maybe writing, drawing, sewing, watching movies. That isn't so bad. Not bad at all!

I just wish I wasn't alone. I am alone because I feel alone, to paraphrase something Jonathan Safran Foer wrote. Is "paraphrase" the right expression?

I kind of hope the power does go out at some point.

Lots of sleeping.
