Has anyone seen the news story about the manhunt in Blacksburg, VA?
This guy was on my porch early Sunday morning.
Here's what happened: I live right behind the hospital. Around 3:00 or 3:30 Sunday morning, I heard something moving in my front yard. I turned on the porch light and looked out, but didn't see anything. At about 9:00 in the morning, I'm awakened to the sound of someone banging on my door. It's two deputies, complete with flak jackets and carbines, telling me there's an escaped inmate and their bloodhound tracked him up on my front porch. They came in and searched the house, ducking around corners in formation and shit like you see in the movies, but of course they didn't find anything. I was home alone at the time, Chris and Andy were in NC, but as soon as I called them they headed home. They checked with the local police and found out this guy had killed someone escaping the hospital, a security guard, and this morning he killed a cop. Now he's charged with capital murder.
I hope you fucking fry, you scumbag.

In Transition
I feel bad that I haven't posted in a while, but so much has happened in the past two weeks that it's hard for me to sort out yet, especially since I just found out today that I'm starting school in three days instead of a week, so I have to worry about that for a bit. Still alive, though, and still sane...for now.
I'll fill you all in on my reaquaintance with kith and kin when I can sort it out into a coherent narrative. Until then, thanks, you guys, for thinking of me.
Tune in next time...

Hoorah!
I'M HOME!!!!!
It's not really home until you're sleeping in a real bed again.
So much has happened in the last week, it's hard to remember it all, but I'll give you the highlights. We left Florida Friday night last week and drove all night to Buford, SC to stay with some friends. While we were there, we went down to Savannah and walked along River Street, something I've been wanting to do for a while. It's so beautiful! And as an added bonus, both candy shops on River St have free samples of homemade pralines! Yummy! We left Monday morning to head up to VA, thinking we were going to be able to move into our house, but the guy that just left wasn't out yet, and the landlord wanted to have someone come in to shampoo the carpets, so we were stuck in a hotel room with three people, a dog, and a carful of stuff for two days. But, we got to start bringing in our stuff on Wednesday, and the moving truck showed up early Thursday morning with the rest, everything present and accounted for, and nothing broken. Some of it is still out on the porch (I have a porch!), but the important things (bed, kitchen, sound system) have been set up, and the rest is just details. We'll be unpacking all day today, and probably tomorrow. If we can get it all done, we're leaving on Monday morning to spend some time with our friends and family over in Maryland and the D.C. suburbs. What's a 5 hour drive when we've been 17 hours away for the past year and a half?
On another note, my corn snake is healthy, happy, and not nearly as stressed as I worried it might be. I set up its home last night and fed it, thinking it might not eat from the stress of all the moving, but it had that pinky down in less than five minutes. A good sign, and it's calming down rather quickly. As soon as I get it to a vet and it becomes a he/she, I will name it and put some new pictures up.
I drove up to NRCC in Dublin on Tuesday to turn in my Financial Aid paperwork and pay the balance on my tuition. It's a very pretty campus, and not that far away. I'm definitely looking forward to going to school there.
There's so much time, and so little to do...wait, scratch that, reverse it...

Welcome home
Well, it's Friday. We've been in Blacksburg for about five days. We moved in on Wednesday, the movers dropped off our stuff yesterday morning, and we had to have an exterminator come in today and spray for fleas, so we are finally unpacking. Just taking a quick break to let everyone know I'm alive, I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.
:)
