IM conversation with my Mommy--
Giddy Geeky: i ran out to my car and was like, please god, i do not want to die. please god, i do not want to die
Giddy Geeky: and a raindrop hit me on the back of the neck and i screamed cause i thought it was lightning :)
Giddy's Mom: you are such a goober.
Giddy's Mom: and i thought i was the dingbat!
She loves me. *G* And she doesn't even know the half of it, because as I was running and praying, I was also thinking about Rhys' story where Chris gets hit by lightning and then can read Lance's mind. *G*
Although...
Actually, she might know more than half. Yesterday we were driving around trying to get stuff done and I saw a squirrel on the side of the road with a nut between its paws, so I took my hands off the wheel and put them together and shouted, "Squirrel!" and made chewing noises.
And we went out to lunch today and while we were in the car my bag opened and like, pads and oatmeal bars and a thing of barbecue sauce from fast food fell out, along with about 5$ in change and everything else I shove in there at random and my best explanation was, what if I get lost in the woods and have to eat bugs? I'll appreciate the BBQ sauce then! And the pads will be great little pillows!
And then there were onions on my salad and I just automatically said, "Onions? I can't have onions on my salad! I'm the Prince of fucking dahhhkness!"
Add to that the fact that I then I showed her the, um, poster-I-got-from-J14. :) And, um, yes. She probably knows, huh?
The lights keep flickering, although the storm isn't nearly so bad now--I shut down for the bad part. I actually hope we do lose power. My neighbor's kids have The Worst Garage Band Ever and right now they're brutalizing Jimmy Eat World, so. No power means no whatever the hell they're using to make that dying cat sound they've got going.
Oh, and in case anyone's as amazed by this as I am--in Mom's town, the National Guard is now involved. They're purifying lake water for the residents because no one knows how long it'll take to get the water safe again and the stores are running low on bottled water, plus the lake water will be free. All the restaurants in town are now closed down. Fun times, huh?
Oh, god, the Worst Garage Band Ever has moved on to Kryptonite. Please, please forget what I said about not wanting to die and strike me down now!
Or. Allow me to tune them out with Moby. Mmmm, Moby.
Giddy's Mom: sweet dreams and moonbeams, kiddo!
Awww. :)
