I can't believe it's still only January. It feels like years have gone by, but no... We aren't even out of the first month of the year.
I feel like this year is just gonna be one of those years, like 2020. Both fast but insanely slow at the same time.
He's an absolute crazy person. Blaming DEI for a horrific crash? Really?! I swear to God, we're 10 days in, and this is what we're dealing with. He's causing absolute mayhem. Everyone else is to blame, never him. Sounds so fucking familiar.
I know I'm not alone in the appriciation of rain over this last weekend here in SoCal. It was much needed after 9 months of nothing. However, the mudslides are not so welcome. The ash and debris are full of toxins, and all off that is just getting swept up in mudslides. All three of the major LA fires are in the 90s as far as percent contained, so that's fantastic news. But, while the fires may be all but out, we still have so much left to do here as far as clean up and figuring out where to go. The things I heard from the Tangerine Tyrant, as he was put here on Friday, have made me cautious. What really stands out to me is him basically saying that residents should be cleaning up the mess of their homes themselves. His nonsense about our voting and water systems just show that he's a fucking moron who knows nothing about California. There's still nonsense talk about conditions on federal aid, because he's a big ol' fucking manbaby who must punish those who dare oppose him.
I've been thinking about it, and honestly, I'm less on the fence about the move at this point. The fires have displaced thousands of people, and the rents have skyrocketed due to it. I don't think it's worth it to stay here if we'll be paying more than what we're already stupidly high rental prices. At least we'll be on several hundred acres that are our own. Yeah, it's Texas, but at home, on our land, it doesn't have to feel like it. I can still be an ally, I can still support human rights. And Austin, which would be the closest big city, is blue, so it won't be that far off from home. And, I know people from high school who have moved out there, so it would be nice to occasionally hang out. So, while it is far from my ideal, it's better than what we have currently. As much as I love my home state, I still find a lot of bad here, a lot I'm unhappy with. So yeah... I'm still not sure when the move is happening, Logan assures me it'll be this year for sure. I'm just tired. I want to just stash myself far and away from everything going on in the world.

God forbid this thing that costs $100+ actually FUCKING WORKS like it supposed to. Ugh.
I hate TurtleBeach headsets.
My Razor is the same. The USB dongle seems necessary for anyone to hear me one day, and then the next, the settings seem to be making it cut in and out for no reason.

LOL! I take it someone really wants to sit with you and they're not wearing pink? LOL!!!!!
It's me isn't it? I wear too much black for your table. LMFAO!
Lol! Something like that.
And, you can always sit at my table! We can wear all the black together! Haha
YAY! I can be one of the cool kids too! LMAO! Oh Oh.... can we have a secret language that no one understands but us?
You both better not leave me out I swear I’ll suck my ferrets in you 😋
*sick
I was about to say... Ummmm I don't wanna know what a ferret sucking has to do with anything!
Lol! You can sit at the table, too!
Yay
Okay, Tangerine Tyrant, if federal aid to us in SoCal is conditional because you're angry that we didn't vote for you, then I want all federal aid for every natural disaster to be conditional as well. What? That's a crazy extreme viewpoint? Of course it is. Because federal aid should never be conditional for things like hurricanes or flooding or fucking wildfires. All this bullshit talk of making aid conditional, when the orange fuckface doesn't even know how our water systems here work, is bonkers. But, what do you expect from a manchild who throws tantrums when a bishop preaches mercy and empathy for marginalized people, who tries to persecute all those he views as his enemies.
More fires have popped up overnight, and I... I just don't have the energy to care. San Diego is on fire, the IE is on fire, and the new big one in LA County, the one in Castaic. That's the one I guess I have to worry about, it's grown super fast and isn't too far from Logan. But, it would have to burn through quite a few cities before it hit him, and I don't think they'd allow that kind of loss.
With everything going on, I just don't have the emotional wherewithal to care about much of anything. I'm drained.
I'm at the point where I don't want to move to Texas later this year. I know where I stand in California, I know that those around me share similar views about basic human rights, I know Newsom, for as shitty as he is as a Governor, isn't going to bend the knee to that orange fascist fuck. It's not ideal, staying here would mean a lot has to change, but I feel safe here. I feel secure. I don't know what red states are like, having never lived in one. And I know, we'll be on our own on hundreds of acres of land, but we'd still have to abide by their policies, interact with the people. Sequestering ourselves up in our home doesn't change the fact that we'd be in a state that doesn't allow a woman the right to choose what she does with her own body. Their stance on those in the LGBTQIA+. Abbott is a garbage person. I don't want to live in a place where I won't feel safe. And I don't know if I'd feel safe there.
I know the move will be beneficial for Logan and I on so many levels, and getting a free house is not something to say no to, but I just don't know right now. I don't know if I want to be in such an overwhelmingly right leaning state. I'm not a Democrat, but I am far more liberal these days than I've been in the past. It scares me, the direction I see this country going, and I don't want to be stuck in a place where I am fearful, where I am scared, where I don't feel safe.
These are things I'm really going to have to think about, and things Logan and I will have to discuss and figure out. Do the pros outweigh the cons? California isn't a sanctuary by any means, we'd probably never be able to afford a house here, we'd have to rent an apartment, and that won't be cheap because we'd need three bedrooms. And then there's the extremely high taxes. I don't know. I'm so conflicted right now. I think everything is just so raw, maybe in a few months I'll feel differently.
We live in the worst timeline.
You know what's cool? When the richest man in the world, the one who bought the Tangerine Tyrant his victory, does a Sieg Heil on national television at the inauguration. Not once, but twice. "It wasn't a Nazi salute, it was a Roman salute, like the Romans did!" The internet has been screaming that all day. But no. I am an avid history buff when it comes to ancient Greece and Rome, and never, not once, has such a thing ever been documented. It's not a real thing. So kindly shut the fuck up about it being a "Roman salute". The dude is an antisemitic, you can see that in all the antisemitic bullshit he props up and posts on his dumb social network. He's a fucking Nazi. Nothing can convince me otherwise.

Fuck that piece of shit. Fuck people who voted for that piece of shit.
I personally abstain from voting but am registered just in case I change my mind. I must say when I see females saying F**K someone it means a whole different thing unless they're the type to strap on a dildo out of inadequacy. :)
People who use the term "females" when talking to women make my skin crawl. You clearly understood the meaning behind my words, so your comment is pointless.
never voted for him, and I can't stand the bastard I was supposed to gotten my stim check, and this orange prick withheld it, and threaten people to vote for his fat ass, and we'd get it and this was back in 2019 no less -.-
I always have, will, hate what he stands for.
God, I am so sick and tired of seeing all the conspiracy bullshit spreading around due to the fires here in LA. It wasn't space lasers, blue roofing won't save you, it wasn't due to the elite looking to gain more land, or any of the other crazy garbage I've seen. It's global warming. Late Santa Ana winds. Drought conditions. A lack of personnel to combat these fires. Sure, there are also a lot of governmental things that you can criticize, I'll be right there with you, but it's mostly those factors that contributed to the fires spreading the way they did. People seem to underestimate just how windy it's been here. Hurricane level winds are not an exaggeration. And when it's that windy, embers fly for miles. Stop believing what people who, aren't in California are saying, especially not fucking Fox News. Because, in reality, they have no idea. Jim Bob in a trailer in Arkansas has no fucking idea what it's actually like here. So, maybe don't fucking believe him when he's rambling about these fires just because he has a voice on the internet.
An update on the fires out here:
The Kenneth fire is all but contained at this point. It's at 80% containment right now, and I don't see that going backwards. I'm thankful for that. The Palisades fire, on the other hand... The winds have picked back up again, and it's really fueling things again. We went out for breakfast around 8 then ran a few errands, and in just those two hours between leaving the house and getting back home, the smoke really got bad. So... Who knows. From the looks of it, Topanga is burning. So.. Yeah. The situation is less than ideal with the wind, but Logan is still safe. It would have to burn through Topanga and Calabasas first before it got to us, and then hop the 101.
Still worried about it, though.
I got to Logan's around 7 and this is the view of the Palisades fire from his driveway.

I'm going to Logan's for the weekend. Normally that's just a whatever statement, but with all that's going on, it sounds stupid to say. I'm going to hurry up and rush to a place that could be threatened by fire at any minute. I've been constantly changing my mind about going, when the fires started I was not really sure, and yesterday, when Hidden Hills was actually threatened by the Kenneth fire, I was against it. I thought it would be highly irresponsible to do so. They also didn't have power, and that was another reason not to go. But then they got power restored, and Logan did easy my worry a bit. It's probably still a stupid decision, but if I don't see him this weekend, I won't see him until the second week of February. Plus, I'm a nervous wreck right now, so, it's either be a nervous wreck here at home, constantly watching the news, or go spend time with people who have lived though this before with the 2020 fires. Plus, if things do go south, I can at least be there to help get important stuff out of the house.
COMMENTS
Both of you stay safe.
Oh, absolutely. But, if I was to be in LA County right now, Hidden Hills would probably be the safest. But, saftey is definitely the top thing on my list.
Yes yes be safe. I cannot believe people are resorting to looting in some areas, I'm like for real? I'm worried about the air quality too for you both.
Be grateful that the worst thing you're dealing with is how you think you're treated on a website. If that is your biggest problem, I seriously fucking envy you.
These last few days have been a living hell. Not just for me, but for all of Los Angeles County. We've seen unprecedented destruction in just days. Entire cities burned to the ground. Communities, businesses, schools, places of worship... People have died. It's going to take so much to recover from all of this, and it's not even close to being over. So many people are still in harm's way.
But no, do tell me how fucking horrible it is that you, of all fucking people, are being treated so badly because of your own actions. For once, I'd love to see you actually take accountability, but I know you won't. You refuse. You're forever and always the victim. On the fucking internet. How utterly pathetic.
I'm so tired. Of all of it.
I talked with Logan and he said things are doing better there. The mandatory evacuation orders were lifted, so that's always good news. They aren't out of danger yet, with the winds and everything, the fire could swing back towards them, but now that they are doing airdrops, it's really squashed a lot of the areas burning near Hidden Hills. Thousand Oaks is completely fucked, but Hidden Hills will be okay.
When all of this is over, it's going to be so weird to see just how much has actually been lost. PCH is going to look completely different. And God help us when it finally rains, because all of this charred earth is just going to be ripe for mud slides.
The Kenneth fire West Hills/Hidden Hills. Logan lives in that circled area... The red highlighted section are mandatory evacuations, the yellow highlighted section are those under warning. This is getting really bad.

Fuck! A fire started right outside of Hidden Hills in West Hills... So far about 50 acres have burned. Now I'm really starting to panic. Because that is so fucking close to Hidden Hills, it's literally right there. And if it hits Hidden Hills...
Nightmare. This is all just one neverending nightmare.
I am exhausted. Emotionally drained. The last few days have been a waking nightmare, and no matter where I've gone, I just haven't been able to escape coverage of the fires. Which is understandable because I do live here and this is all impacting me on some level. I feel as though I could sleep for a week, and it still wouldn't be enough. I haven't heard from my brother, but he works stupid crazy scheduals, often working double shifts, so who knows. I'm sure if anything happened or if he was in any danger, he'd tell Liz and Liz would let us know. Logan finally regained power, so that's a positive.
I took this photo last night. I'm 50 miles outside of Downtown LA, 45 from Pasadena, 73 from Pacific Palisades, which is funny because it's farther away by the coast, but it's the same distance as Hidden Hills is from me. Anyway... All I'm saying is that I'm not super close to anything that's been burning, but if you look at that horizon, those aren't clouds. All of that is smoke. Just a wall of smoke. And if that's what it looks like 50 miles away, you can imagine the hell it is for all those who do live in LA County.

I'm not doing okay. I can't escape the news of what's happening around LA County, I can't escape my thoughts. Not having Logan to talk to, to calm me, is really rough tonight. I'm just a mess.
The Hollywood Hills are on fire now, too. I am concerned about this one, because Willow and Mina live there. The fire isn't that far away from them. Logan talked to Wilow and she said they're packing up now... All of this devistation. All of this loss.
Logan's been without power or water all day, with no idea when either will come back on. It's just... A lot. All of this is a lot.
At this rate, a Pacific Palisades is going to be burned off the map all together. I've been on Facebook, which is my first mistake, and I've been seeing comments from people laughing and making light of all of this. "Oh, they lived in an affluent area where median home prices are in the millions, they'll be fine!" It's disgusting. Losing everything you own, whether you're rich or not, is not something people can easily recover from. A lot of these people won't just be able to pick their lives up after all of this.
These fucking winds, man... While I woke up to good news regarding the Getty Villa, I also woke to devistating news about places that did burn to the ground... Our wildfires are devistating year after year, but this... This destruction... This feels so much worse right now.

Tonight is going to be hell for all fire departments here in SoCal. There's the huge fire in Pacific Palisades, a fire that started in Altadena, and now there's one in Sylmar. All forcing evacuations. No matter how prepared we were, how much in advance we knew these winds were coming, you just can't anticipate the reality of how bad it is out there.
I'm watching the news footage of the Pacific Palisades and it's bad. They are right outside the Getty Villa on PCH, and you can just see the hillside burning. The Villa is recessed in, behind all those hills, but it does look like the house that sits right on the hillside outside of it is on fire. I don't think anyone would allow the Villa to go up, but really, how can you protect it? I'm, sure they have measures in place to protect some of the antiquities, but those grand marble statues? The fresco, the tombs... I know that a lot of it is marble and stone, but it can still be damaged. The Getty says everything's been sealed, so that offers a lot of protection, but what if the building does catch fire? The Villa is my absolute favorite museum in all of SoCal, I'd hate to see all, those amazing artifacts damaged or losses all together.
Pacific Palisades is on fire with thousands being forced to evacuate, which bothers me. One, because the Getty Villa is located right off PCH there and there are a number of spots burning very close to it, and two, because while I know there's an entire canyon between the coast and Hidden Hills, with these winds, embers can go miles. I know Hidden Hills has all the money to throw at fire departments, I just worry. There is a lot of dried and dead brush out there. Bah. I know if Logan was ever worried, he would tell me. So, hopefully my worries are just me being silly, but I'll be more at ease when these winds die down.
We may not have snow here in SoCal, but we are dealing with windstorm, which is always fun. The power is out in a number of areas, I've been talking with a few friends who are in the dark right now, including my mom at her work. Thankfully the power hasn't gone out here. Hopefully no fores start, because with the winds as bad as they are, God, it would be devistating. It's been predicted that winds could reach up to 100 mph in some areas.
So, I'm watching Riverdale with Logan, because he insists on makining me watch shitty shows. Anyway, these characters are supposed to be what, sophomores in high school, so like, 15/16, right? Why is it so hypersexual? I was in high school once, 20 years ago, yes, but still, my high school experience was nothing like this. And it's not that I didn't go to parties or anything, I did. I was popular by association due to my brother. It just makes me wonder why we, as a society, think it's totally cool to sexualize children. Yes, they are adult actors, but they're portraying kids, literal kids. And you have one fucking the music teacher. Like, why is this okay? Why do we do this? It's all teen shows like this, they all hypersexualize the underage characters so much. I'm not a fan. It makes me feel icky to watch it.
COMMENTS
Oooph. Yea... that show is a PILL to swallow. I want to go back and finish it but... ugh. Certain depictions are just... no.
He insists on making me watch this stuff. I couldn't get more than two seasons into Supernatural, and not much farther into Vampire Diaries. But this one, we're only an episode in and it just rubs me the wrong way. I don't like it. The story seems fine, but the sexualization gets to me.
Oy... lol. I still need to start Supernatural and it looks good to me. I'm halfway through Vampire Diaries, it's been a journey... lol. I prefer Originals. Don't you have any shows you want to watch?
I don't know why I hate Supernatural as much as I do, but it was hell getting to the point we got to. And Logan tells me it doesn't even start getting good until the fifth season, and I just can't do that to myself. I have standards. Haha. As for Vampire Diaries, I just hate the two male characters so much. My god, are they awful and whiny. If I want to watch a whiny, bitchy vampire, I'll go watch the movie adaptation of Interview. And, I can sit through shit shows, I watched ALL of True Blood, but I have to like the characters, and with VD, I just don't. I hate all of them.
lmfao. Well... I adore Caroline. The brothers...HA. Whinny indeed. I swear they were mean to have the other brother's name. I don't understand why I feel that way. Yup I gotta watch True Blood as well. I think I got 2 seasons in? I don't remember.
Supernatural was good before they took it into the whole God theme. I like the Supernatural in the Supernatural show.
Loved Vampire Diaries/ Originals. But then I watch anything Vampire usually
I watched Riverdale- but not in the last few years. It just changed from the start.
And agree with the Adult theme. And we wonder why today's kids, going by that as a guild, have so many issues. Body image, social skills, etc.
Welcome, 2025. While there are a lot of things I'm dreading with this year, there are also many things that I have to look forward to. It's nice to have some serious life changes to look forward to.

I'm having the opposite.... It is flying by for me. I can't believe it's about to be February!
