All It Takes
I have been informed that I'm incorrect in terming my icky feeling as any possible type of Bi-polar it's more likely manic depression..Nice. My apologies, it wont be the last time.
It's amazing how quickly the sadness subsides with just the sound of a voice. I'm pathetic, I know. Funny that no matter how many people I talked to or made me laugh I still just didn't feel right until I talked it through with two people. Brenna called me, I think just when it was necessary, and we talked for a long time and I could feel that silly sadness begin to ebb. Then a phone call from another person seemed to finalize everything.
So, how 'bout that hurricane? Hmm? What's that you say? No hurricane? my my. Okay enough of the sarcasm. I looked over the trajectory for Hanna several times on Friday because we were to be having a dance and everyone was panicking. I got so many texts, online messages, emails, and phone calls about whether or not we'd still be having the dance, people are so funny. All they had to do was go online and look at WRAL's hurricane tracker and see that it wasn't even a hurricane. Hanna turned into a tropical storm over the ocean and it wasn't even due to reach NC until 6 or 7am Saturday, which means it first had to go through South Carolina...once a hurricane reaches land it decreases...since this was already a tropical storm when it reached land there was no chance of it turning back into a real hurricane unless it went back out over the ocean. I don't understand people sometimes, it's like when it snows in Raleigh and people freak out...I understand that bad things can happen but seriously? If you're prepared all the time, which if you're a Mormon too you should be, you really haven't got much to fear. The non-existent hurricane thing bugged me because people just don't make themselves informed about these things. When I was a kid the first thing I did after a storm was find out what made it happen that way. I've always felt like if I don't know as much as I can about a bad situation then I'm a fool, so I like to take the time to learn about these things. Study up guys, it really helps you think with a clear head in an emergency.
In other news, I finally went to see the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit and it was pretty cool. It's divided into two sections. The first part basically talks about the archaeology of Qumran (who they were and how they lived) and the second part is the scroll fragments. I wasn't impressed by the audio tour and felt the exhibit would have been much better with a live person guided tour but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of a once in a lifetime experience. Go see it guys, it's here until December this year, $22 admission and so worth your time and money.

Well, I knew it was only a tropical storm, but I thought about calling just to make sure the dance wasn't canceled as well...mostly because I wouldn't want to find out AFTER having driven 40 minutes to Apex.
I think I've seen thunder storms that were worse than Hanna. It was pretty pitiful for all of the fuss people made about it!
Honestly - I was more worried about the bishopric cancelling it - and they kinda did... or at least early enough I didn't get to hear my amazing song I requested!
Either way - I wish it would've been a real hurricane. That would've been fun!!
