I'me getting more and more worried about Gustav.  I've been told that I may have to evacuate and I'm kind of scared.  I mean, it's not so much losing my belongings, but trying to get my ritual items to my parent's house and keeping them hidden, I hate to admit it, but my parents don't know that I don't have the same beliefs they do....they're very close minded and it hurts to see that in them.  I love them, but they want me to leave New Orleans because "it's a sinful place where not everyone is a good christian"......I don't know what to do, I mean, if the storm misses us, I'll be fine, if it comes right for us, I have to evacutate to Alabama....to the bible belt.  The Goddess usually has a way of taking a horrible situation and making it into something great, but I'm begining to wonder how this will work, I just hope she doesn't send me there for long if I have to go.  Here's hoping that the Goddess keeps me safe, no matter where I am.
