i like to drive in tornadic weather systems.

i think i was just raised this way, but when it begins to storm, the first- and most unwise- thing i want to do is run outside and soak up the electricity. i did this all throughout college; i was known for running out into the pouring rain- usually wearing some long dress- and walking, running, playing in the rain. i swear they must have thought me a hippie. little did they know i was brought up by a father with a penchant for getting in his car and chasing lightning.

today was really playing in the rain by accident. my phone decided to crap out on me- numerous times- and whilst running back and forth to the freakin' mall to have it taken care of, i got stuck in the wind, the rain, the dark and spooky......ooooooooooooo.....

at the same time, my boyfriend G apparently saw a funnel cloud over lindbergh and union. i think it was the first one he's ever seen, because he was struck with minor panic on what to do. as if saint louis has had an actual tornado in years....

(i've probably just pissed off the weather gods for that one. oops.)

thus endeth another relatively silly entry. i have much to say about the impending election, the current state of the democratic party, how i feel that we're eerily close to becoming a Firefly plotline....but not today. maybe tomorrow.
