Hey Shannon! I'm doing well! It's dark and cloudy here too, so I'm hoping I get a thunderstorm today!
How are you?

Ooh, I love thunderstorms, as long as I don't have to be out in them, especially with the kids. That's just a nightmare waiting to happen! It's not supposed to storm here today though, just some showers. I still love the cloudiness though.

I'm glad you're doing well! I'm doing okay, just kind of stressed out, but what else is new? I'm alright though. What do you have going on today?

Good morning, forumites.

Hey John! How are you? You're up early!

I love thunderstorms as well, as well as all severe weather. I must have been a stormchaser in a past life lol

Storms, or even just rain is fantastic! Nope, Not much planned for today. I think I'm just gonna watch some movies!

Hi John!
Hi Jimmy!

If anything you probably hid from them.

Did you see that there's already a tropical storm in the Atlantic?! It's not even hurricane season yet! After the disappointment from Hurricane Irene last year (we were supposed to get a category 1 hurricane and just got a weak tropical storm instead - boring!) , I'm really hoping to get a decent tropical storm/hurricane around here this year. I know that sounds weird to want a natural disaster, but I am weird like that. I don't want devastation of course, but I love storms like that. They're so exciting!

Hi!

Yep, woke up around four or five and couldn't sleep. It's my last day in California, I guess I'm just subconsciously riddled with thoughts or something. How are you?

Hi John!
Hi Jimmy!

That sounds like a great way to spend Sunday! I might watch a movie later too. And...I just realized that next weekend is Memorial Day weekend, so I will have three days off! I really need that extra day!

I think I may spend my day either reading Stephen King books, or spend the day with the love of my life-My Guitar.
And yeah, Hurricanes really do not do it for me, Tornadoes are more fascinating for me. I mean they can predict a Hurricane, but predicting a tornado is still a hit and miss. I just think tornadoes are more beautiful in a Natural disaster way (If that makes sense).

Haha, I love that you were dissapointed with Hurricane Irene. Hahah! I can't remember exactly when it was but a few years ago my aunt, uncle, and my little cousins were basically living in a cave in their house in Florida during one of the hurricanes. They had their whole house covered with storm shutters and that and had to stay inside for what seemed like forever!

I am jealous of you midwesterners and your storms.

Oh, I'm sorry it's your last day in CA. That's sad, but at least you get to see your family and friends back home soon. Are you still planning on getting a band together over the summer?

I'm doing okay, just stressing out like normal. I'm just taking it easy today though.

Funny thing is, I am not even from the midwest and I still have seen quite a few powerful thunderstorms, mircobursts, and a tornado forming over my house once.

I agree! And YES Memorial Day weekend is gonna be great for me too! I'm going up north to my family's cabin on Thursday and staying until Tuesday, and I can't fricken wait. No internet at all, so I'm hoping the Handwritten pre-order doesn't come around until after I get home, because I'll be super bummed if I miss out on a deluxe edition!

Yeah, I think it makes sense, but tornadoes freak me out too much. We had one in the town just to the west of mine 4 years ago, and it was the eeriest thing. The air felt weird, the sky was this greenish brown color, and I could actually see the funnels dropping down from the clouds. I was working that afternoon and the kids were only 1 and 3 years old, so the severity of the situation was intensified, because I had to think about keeping those little kids safe. I think the tornado died about 20 miles from where I'm at so it wasn't that close, but close enough for me to never want to have to deal with them again.

I'm in agreement with miss Shannon here. Tornados freak me the hell out, too.

Yeah, it's a bummer, but I think I'm ready to leave this place. It's just sad to be separated from my housemates who have become some of my best friends. I'll have to hang on to my friends back home like a parasite to cope with it, hah.

Yeah I think we're gonna play some stuff! I don't think we're gonna get that serious with it but we might get a recording done, that would be fun.

Ah, always stressed! Tell you what Shannon, one of these days you oughta just up and leave for California on a more permanent note, you always speak so highly of it.

When it almost dropped on my house, The sky went from black to green, the air was still, there was NO NOISE AT ALL-not even birds or rain. I looked up, and....the clouds were rotating over my house, directly above my head. A tail did drop out of it, but it broke up before it touched down. No sirens, no tornado warnings on the TV/radio...no nothing. I think I would be fine chasing tornadoes like The Stormchaser Reed Timmer(Drives into some in a HEAVILY ARMORED AND MODIFIED Ford F-150). I mean you only live once on this earth, and it would quite a story to tell huh?

Oh man, that sounds awful! I would never want to live in FL, they have to deal with too many devastating hurricanes. We hardly ever get anything good here, so it's exciting when something happens. When I was a kid I loved earthquakes, then we moved here and that loved shifted to hurricanes. I'm just strange, haha!

When Hurricane Isabelle hit this area in 2003, it was a category 1, so it was minor, but man it was so exciting! I loved the sound of the wind and rain and the look of the trees bending over backwards from the sheer force of the storm. It was great! But we lost power for four days and didn't have a generator at the time, so that was pretty miserable because it meant no air conditioning! #firstworldproblems

Are you gonna miss California burritos, John?

That sounds like so much fun! What do you do when you go to the cabin? Hopefully the preorder will happen before you leave. I'm anxious to place my order!!! I am the most impatient person and waiting for this album is driving me crazy!
