Ugh, I'm really worried. I wish she was anywhere else. I'm going to be distracted all day. I need to find out if USAID has set anything up for the country yet for donations or anything. I know she said she was one of the luck ones but aftershocks and general chaos in an area after a quake. UN staff there killed. It's just complete madness.

ETA: And I guess it's a good thing the thing I was super looking forward to was canceled since I obviously would not have been in the mindset to cover it. A few people might actually know what I was talking about. If you do, do not mention it in the comments please.

I am trying not to be upset so I will just post something productive.

I admit I only donated because my friend is there and I want to help the situation in general. But I'm sure others are less selfish than me and want to help just for the sake of it. So text the word "Haiti" to 90999 to donate $10 on behalf of the American Red Cross. It registers on your cell phone bill.

I really wish I could have posted happy news today. I was looking forward to it. Right now, I just feel detached. Though I do wish again to thank rubyd for dealing with my freaking out last night.

Anyway, I finished the first Percy Jackson book. I guessed everything. I have mixed feelings overall. It is way way way cliched, and the constant on-again-off-again stupidity of the characters infuriates me. Like how Percy could come up with his plan against ___ and still be dumb enough to trot merrily after ___ after getting every mental warning in the world of BAD IDEA DUMBASS. Ugh. But the thing that irks me the most is ( Draco. )

ETA: My Percy Jackson ramblings were posted entirely to distract me from my Haiti frettings so if you have anything to say about them, I prefer it be of an equally distracting nature because I so don't actually care about the book's logistics right now.
