And Chaos Erupts!

Ever wake up, check your email, and say 'Oh shit!'?
Ever feel your mind tumbling ahead to all the possible repercussions?

Ever really really craved coffee, and possibly illegal drugs for later, after the mess is sorted out?

I was complimented yesterday (by Cricket) on my diplomatic skills. It is taking everything I have to remain civil, much less diplomatic, today.

Manic emailed me the script. Boy howdy! It's a doosey!!
And has to be basically thrown out, and rewritten, and made kid-friendly BY TOMORROW.

We worked on it some last night, but without knowing exactly what the original script was, we didn't know what to change, or who was in it, or, well.. anything, really.

And when I read the script? There are people that have parts that were NEVER asked.

I made a public announcement, asking for the people that knew they had parts, telling parents to feel free to simplify it for their children, and reminding all that it is the children that are looking forward to this.

*thoughts of lynch mobs dancing through my brain*
Manic out did herself this time, and I know she'll hear about it -- from more than the chick who has been having a bitchfest all week (me, if you had any doubts).

As a matter of fact, our community has been foaming at the mouth, from what I can tell, ever since the script was posted on our forum. They just haven't started their public bashing yet. Actually, they'll foam even more when they find out who the author of the script is.
("Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins..." )

Ever feel like there is a tornado chasing you, but then a brush fire flames up in front of you, and you have nowhere to go? And then, to top it off, the earth splits wide open beneath your feet, and you fall in praying for an Indiana Jones type miracle...
I feel like this is what is waiting for the day ahead. Disaster, chaos, unrest,...

But then peace, renewal, unity, and a fresh start will come after that.
And that, my friends, is the other shoe waiting to drop. Not the next bad thing, but the good that comes after the bad. Spring after Winter, the Earth cleansed after an intense downpour, getting snowed in and getting time with your family/friends that are stuck with you, computer crashes and you rediscover the human race, etc...
There is always hope. Always something good will come out of whatever situation you are in. You just have to be willing to look for it.
And I am actually looking forward to tomorrow and the good feeling that will come after this mess is put behind us.
