Electrified

It has now been two days since we have been evicted. The first night we were evicted I slept in our appartment anyways. With no bedsheets or anything. Just the empty appartment. Chris did the same in his own room. It just sucked to have the bomb dropped upon you and then be evicted from your home the day off. Human rights just aren't as strong over here.

Last night I slept over at Teresas'. She kindy took me into her home and happens to live on the same street. However my continous disrupting of a normal life was not in short order. Everytime things settle down in Ireland and you feel at peace, something drastic brings you back into perspective and out of ease. This time is was through lightning.

There was a major storm on Canada Day evening here in Ireland. At about three in the morning Theresa and I were woken up by the sounds of 'a crashing airplane'. This is honestly what we thought. The sound was horrible. We were screaming and holding onto eachother. Rain was crashing down in Dublin. And lightning and thunder was on the prowl. Just right underneath the bedroom window in which I was sleeping next too, a lightning bolt penetrated into the wiring system. The building was constantly being struck by lightning because of the phone wires hugging the faced of the building. The alarms were going off like mad.

It was not safe to go outside at all. I called into work at 5 am stating that in no way was I going to walk an hour through the storm through an open park filled with telphone poles and trees. It was not safe. Phoenix Park is now flouded and some building in Dublin have recieved serious damage due to the storm. This is now my cue: leave Dublin. I'll be back in August. But my time here for now is done.

I really, really like Dublin but the time I was suppossed to spend here has expired.
