Chapa

at about 4:30 am lauren is knocking on my door.
i had JUST gotten comfortable.
“chapa, somethings going down on the corner” she says.
though the blinds i see red and blue flashing.
and because it has been programed into my head
by my father since birth….
i go out side to see what is happening.
as soon as i open the door i smell smoke.
the fact that there is a haze of smoke and fire engines everywhere registers soon after.
there are tons of people on the street.
the guy who lives in the apartment above us
tells us that the building on the corner is on fire.
i look down the street and see flames shooting out the window.
first thing that comes to mind is oh my god.
i hope everyone is alright.

as i type this i can still hear the trucks.
the fire is out now.
everyone got out ok.
though someone might have lost a cat.
there is police line tape attached to our front stoop
everyone who was in that building is huddled outside on our corner.
plus on lookers.
the red cross is here to help.
i still feel like i should do something to help.

tomorrow we are buying renters insurance
a fire extinguisher
and batteries for our smoke detector.

i cant sleep right now.
im still to freaked out.

right now
im sitting in my living room
sketching x-mas cards
that will eventually be re-drawn on coasters
that i took from the pub.
they will be sent out to 20 random people
that i pick out of the phone book.
SURPRISE!!!

also i decided that i will create a category and tag section for my sketches.
sence they are not finished pieces of art they do not belong on the website.
i will start doing that thursday i think

my tummy hurts….
stupid ability to bring a human life into the world
*shakes fist*

so we did it.
we moved.
i have my own room.
well right now it looks like a storage space.
with an airbed in it.

right now it does not feel like home.
its so new
so differnt
but its not the first time i have done this though.
soon it will feel like home.
soon it will feel like my place.
my space.
soon it will feel like where i belong.

but right now everything is in shambles.
things are still in boxes.
the same boxes that things have been in for over a year.
though it will have to wait for tomorrow.
right now i am watching a movie with lauren and eating popcorn.
well we were eating popcorn.
its all gone now.
*nomnomnomnomnom*

things are sorta crazy right now.

we are moving out on the first.

to an apartment on the east side.
