Aug. 12th, 2004 08:06 pmSecond draft, first one having been eaten.
Stupid online connection.
Went outside to try and watch the Perseids. Haven't done anything like that in forever, since I'm not really an outdoors-y person. Had to go back in to get a towel to lie on. And realized as time wore on that I should have had pants on, and maybe some sort of mosquito repellent. And maybe a pillow. Thus I was nearly eaten alive by small flying bugs, and I have a tiny bit of a ...crick? Sore spot? I am more aware of part of my neck that I am accustomed to being!
But. I saw two Perseids-comets, which are the first of anything like that I've seen since I was little. ^^ They're so fast you have to really really be looking. And I'm not in a good place for it, had the stupid next doors' floodlight to contend with. >:/ And clouds!! *whines*
They were pretty, though. One of them seemed to have shot out of this group of stars that might have been a Dipper? I couldn't tell. Eventually I had to go in. It was getting too light out.
( Dreaming )
And then I got up. To notice the power out. And learn from Dad that we had a small tornado touch down up the road, causing the aforementioned power outage and tearing things up down there. x.x Also, the storm named Charlie (Dad says it's due to be a class 3 hurricane when it lands?) is supposed to be hitting maybe a little too close to here. He was wondering if I will even be going in to work tomorrow.
I told him, I'll find out when I get in. Like the last time we had a storm come too close, there will be pep-talk/what-to-do-in-the-case-of/ and whether or not we need to come in tomorrow. I'm... kind of not sure what to think of this. I've never actually been in a hurricane, and this is the second time one will have come this close. Going to be a busy and interesting night.
