Re: 4 -- same here. >< *waves over from Mobile*

LOL... Yup, I'm scared. I'm sure the damage was horrible for you for Ivan. If you need to evacuate, come this way... you have a spot reserved on my couch. :D *psst, Hammond... when you get to Slidell, keep going on I-12 another 45 minutes, and you'll reach the town.*

We're *really* close to each other, eh? *adds you* *realizes she did already...* Heh.

Guh. Ivan. -.- No power for a week, ninety degrees? Not fun. Yay! ^^ Evac spot! I always laugh when people don't understand the mechanics of an evacuation. They look at you like you're crazy when you head west instead of north. They don't understand the whole worst-weather-to-the-east thing. :)

Did you really? LOL I can't keep up with who friends me unless they tell me. XD Added you back!

*giggles at last part* Sorry... I can't keep track of myself!!!

My dad was in Palm Beach *you have to know where this is heading* for both Frances and Jeanne last summer. So you can imagine how horrible it was for him when they got hit with two storms in two weeks... not mentioning the fact that the power wasn't reconnected the correct way afterwards. Then they moved back to New Orleans... *irony* And then it snowed in NOLA for Christmas... *told Dad that the weather follows him... and it's proving to be correct...*

GOING NORTH IS STUPID! Tell them all that. Living in the suburbs of the lowest city in the 50 states (I'm from Belle Chasse, which is right on the river... south of New Orleans) not only do I *know*, you're constantly scared of what is going to happen if a REALLY BAD STORM were to hit. If Ivan would have hit... New Orleans would be non-existant.

The biggest reason why a northern route is stupid is... everyone is already heading that way, and it's bad if you get stuck in the bad weather when it HEADS NORTH. Heading west is definitely wonderful... and at this rate, it seems that Hammond is in the clear zone. Everything *south* of I-12 will go. I'll be sitting on beachfront property... *gets out deck chairs and sits on the side of the interstate*

OMG... last season. Those storms in FL were awful. I'm stressing out now because of Dennis sitting out there where Ivan had started. -.- Frustrating.

YES!! Christmas snow last year!! XD Didn't stick here, though, just flurried all pretty-like. I was so jealous of all the snow that TEXAS of all places got.

Exactly -- I just don't *get* that. Why escape the initial hit just to get swamped by the weather when it moves north and spawns many more tornadoes?

That always scares me when I think of hurricanes going through LA. I know how stubborn people can be and you just know people would stay there. >

The storms stressed me out, because I practically begged my dad to get out last year.

The snow was so awesome. I was at my dad's house, a block from my old high school... and we had actual snow sticking to everything... the ground, the cars... We wrote "Christmas 2004" on the hood of my car, and made a mini snowman. Did I mention it was ON CHRISTMAS DAY?! So pretty. We went up the levee and watched the snow fall on the Mississippi River... beautiful.

EXACTLY! Which is why when my mom tries to get me to come to North Carolina, where she lives, when these storms come in... I'm like... er NO?

Y'know what? I know this sounds harsh... but sometimes I wish that these storms would wipe out all the stupid people. Then New Orleans would be such a better place to live... Louisiana's IQ levels could be raised with one storm... *sigh* Personally, I hope they take Gov. Blanco out FIRST. *giggles*

*eyes glaze over* Snoooow.. *sigh* It was so pretty. :) You're lucky!! I wish it would have stuck here, just a little. But it was still amazing -- to have snow.. ON CHRISTMAS. People don't realize how miraculous that is in the deep south.

New Orleans baffles me. It's so freaking pretty yet half the people there treat it like crap. >< And I don't *get* the fascination with Bourbon Street. Sure, it's a landmark. But if I wanted to stroll down a street with lots of antiquated buildings that smells like stale beer cans and vomit, I can do that here. Love NO though. Especially the pretty bits.

...LOL I love you. XD Why haven't I friended you sooner!?!

ok, does this mean like nine chores or work things we should be doing? *confused by the question*

Anything. :)

I have a question... is this like an actual contest with winners, or is this just a fun thing? Also, do you earn knuts each time you do one of these, or you get 20 knuts at once by doing this each day? I'm just curious... I won't stop doing this everyday just because of the answer. ;)

There are no winners, and it's just a fun contest in celebration of the HBP release. :) And you only earn knuts if you've done the contest each day. :)

Unfortunately, as it is now 9:15, this is past the deadline for this particular day's challenge. :) All entries must be in by six a.m. the next day to qualify.

would i still recieve knuts at the end? since i'm trying to be in each of these challenges.

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid not.. The purpose of having the bonus is for those who can get their answers in within the restricted time frame.
