Now I do my fair share of errand-runnin' for my Momma in Shreveport, but it's not often I get to actually meet up with some friends there.  That's why this weekend I'll be hangin' out with @SookieBonTemps and @TrueBloodDallas in Northwest Louisiana!

We're all headin' out to see Charlaine Harris at Shreveport's "Author Author" festival this weekend, and it's lookin' like we're gonna have a blast!

Like Sookie mentioned on her blog, I'll probably do a bunch of tweeting OOC this weekend, as this is a trip that doesn't really fit into our little twitterverse -- but just maybe I'll keep the accent ;)

*Ahem* So I guess for any a y'all who need a ride to Dallas tomorrow night, my truck leaves @MerlottesBar around 7pm (we can't ALL fly y'know)...

Now I know I don't generally write anythin' too important here, but far too much has happened tonight to keep it all rattlin' around in my head.

First off, I'm mad as all hell at Jason Stackhouse.  Now, I've loved this guy like a brother for YEARS, but I just can't figure him out lately.  After tellin' me the other night that he was through with those vampire-haters at the Fellowship of the Sun, he nearly runs me off the road tonight to tell me that he's been hangin 'round them all again.  Plus, he's tellin' me he thinks the FotS is gonna be lookin for Jess around Bon Temps.

Great.

Now I don't know what to do.  We've already kept @JessicaHamby hidin' in the shadows for the last few days because of all those 'MISSING' posters papered all over downtown Bon Temps (above), and now I've got half a mind that says that Jason may have been the one to let it slip that she's been around here.  How else would they know?!

Girlfriend in peril?  Check.

Suspicious of best friend?  Check.

Plus, it doesn't look like I'm the only one having trouble around Bon Temps tonight.  I'm not one to gossip, but i think somethin' may be up with Sookie and Eric... I'm sure it'll make it out of Bon Temps soon enough...

If anyone's got any suggestions, I'd sure love to hear 'em.  I'm at my wits end trying to come up with new ways to keep my Jessica safe.  God knows I'd do anything for that girl...

And Margaritas!  And the way the floor looks at Merlotte's!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I appreciate that people even noticed that I was gone... I'm just happy to be home now.  Happy to be back on the road crew, happy to be hangin' at Merlotte's, but mostly, I'm happy to be back with my special someone...

So, my buddy's been missing for a while.  He's a really great guy, maybe the nicest person I know.  If anyone knows where Jason Stackhouse may be, please let me know on Twitter - @hoytfortenberry.  Come to think of it, @sookiebontemps will probably want to know too....
