Crimson and clover......over and over

whew! tonight ended up being quite frightening! for those of you in evansville, you know about the weather we just had. i had no idea it was coming. it just happened. i was about to walk out the front door, and all of a sudden the power goes out, it gets so windy i think the trees are gonna snap in half, and the rain is blowing like a freakin monsoon!

so i just kind of stand there in my apartment. it's pitch black. i dont have any candles because i packed today to move and practically everything i own is in my car in bags. i dont have a flashlight. what's a girl to do??? i stood there debating what to do, all the while wondering if there was a tornado coming that i didnt know about. then it hit me. but of course!! the shower radio!!!

so i felt my way to the bathroom and found my handy dandy shower radio (which i knew would come in handy one day). it's not JUST for showers. i sat on my living room couch and listened to the radio. it was quite creepy. i looooove storms to death, but being alone in one without electricity is B-O-R-I-N-G. so needless to say, i was a very happy girl when Randy and Shnoz came knocking on my door. (I sound mean when i call her Shnoz, but i can never remember her name. and she honestly has a huge nose. so that's just what katie and i call her. but not to her face of course)

ok, so it was pitch black when i opened my door after he knocked, and i couldnt see who was there when i opened it, but i just knew it would be randy. and then i heard his big voice say "oooh girl, you be trippin. i knew you be trippin." hahaha. ohhh randy. i'll miss that kid when i move tuesday.

so randy and shnoz came in and kept me company for a little while. he brought down a candle. we were going to tell ghost stories, but none of us could think of any. and then randy had to scare me and tell me that we might not get our electricity back until tomorrow. and that would not be cool since tomorrow is my birthday!!

anyways, they left to go to her mom's house since she had electricity. (he left his candle by the way. i just might have to steal that thing. it's multi-layerd and multi-scented. score!) and i decided to lay down on the couch and listen to the storm. i must have been exhausted because i dont even recall falling asleep. when i opened my eyes, the lights were on, i heard Aileen's voice coming from my bedroom (yes, beth, i rented the other Aileen documentary tonight), and about 2 hours had passed.

and now here i am. im going to watch the movies i rented. in less than an hour i will officially be 21 and of legal drinking age. and i will officially have nothing to look forward to anymore. so i am officially bummed. oh well. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
