Storms are scary when you're alone .. but if you're with someone they can be pretty cool to watch from a balcony

i like storms
cept when nippy gets scared
then i feel sad
or when i know no-ones home and she's alone
cuz i KNOW she'll get scared
and that usually means she trashes something
which means she gets yelled at by my parents
and that means i get pissed at them and yell at them and hug her and yell some more
all in all.. to summarize... storms are cool when they take place everywhere other than where nippy is

back on April 6, I was watching the Weather Channel and got the Emergency Alert System warning. I freaked out, thinking the city was getting bombed (cuz I'm paranoid like that) and found out the EAS was a thunderstorm warning. I was totally scared anyway.
I only remember the day because I needlessly arrived at the FleetCenter box office at 8:30 am to attempt to get a good ticket to see Michael Jordan once before he retired. The box office opened at 11.

Yeah, I witnessed the rain and such, I saw the big storm clouds flying toward edmonton. It was pretty neat too.
No tornado though.
