Guaranteed to put you to sleep faster than Ben Stein reading the periodical table of elements!
We had a tornado today in the area, just a wee one, but it's still pretty crazy outside. I went to Arlington today where it wasn't so bad, but in NRH by my house the winds were horrible. All the streetlights lost power on rufe snow, there were a few accidents, and I saw an old building lose all the plank work on it, not to mention tons of stuff got knocked down whole.
I'm sooo used to tornadoes happening here, but dust really clogged my allergies something fierce. Since there's so few trees in the city now, everything turned into a giant dust bowl. The sky was the most muddy color I've ever seen in my life, so of course I got pictures of the sky right above my house, lol

My plants outside are all fine, even the rosemary and the peppermint I just put down, but the part that sucks is the wind blew my lunch out of my hands in its to-go styrofoam container, and all my food went bye bye in a big cloud of murphy >.>
Dang, and I'm really craving it now, too
Ah yes, and I was tagged by
yunicoon for this
The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things/hates about yourself" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things/hates as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" on their User Page comments and tell them to read yours.
1. I ALWAYS have a song going through my mind, from the very beginning of it, until the song is done playing mentally. Even during the most serious discussions I have with people, there's always a tune that defies the moment running its course as if I had a radio in my brain.
2. I can't sleep with covers on my feet, or tucked into a bedspread. I have to sleep on my side with covers crammed against the front of my body, and a blanket loosely draped over me from shoulders to calves
3. I walk on the sides of my feet, and the toes. I have awful back problems, so I never put my feet flat when I walk. This also gives me a ninja effect, and I'm told nobody can hear a sound when I walk up behind them. I use this to scare my friends XD
4. Metal music puts me to sleep, but the softer the sound when I'm trying to go to bed, the more impossible it is for me to fall asleep. A single cricket chirping in the frog tank is the worst culprit of this, and many nights I have to get up to fish them out and throw them outside.
5. I don't drink by letting a cup pour liquid into my mouth, I hold the cup to my lips and then suck my drink. This always gives me terrible hiccups, but whenever I try to drink normally, I spill all over myself XD
6. Sometimes I think too fast when I'm talking and my mind makes up words. Like if I'm trying to say "That was great! It was a blast!" Sometimes what comes out is, "That was a grast!"
Hm..
I tag..anyone who hasn't done this yet!

that is so freaky looking up and seeing the green tint, the clouds all spinning over your head.
Hahaha, a Ninja with a drinking problem.
and I accidentally make up words too when I talk to fast.
>^..^<
can't remember any right now.
sometimes my mind will get so far of track i will blurt something that has no relation to what I am talking about.
*talking very fast*"oh man that was such a great movie, did you notice in the back ground when the........ potatochips!.... O.o what?" *stumbles slightly* "yeah.... *talking slower* there was that kid... in the background..... of that shot..... he was putting the chain back on his bike."
(not an actual event)
>^..^<
LOL I lurk around the house like that too. I’m quick and silent… Rawrrrarrr ;3
"What?! You live in a mansion! I live in a dinky little apartment that's above one bowling alley, and below another bowling alley!"
NOT MAH SAMMICH! NOO!
YOU bin to outer space!?
hmm, you've never bin??
A shame you lost your food, though.
And the images are fun to look at. With all the problems tornadoes bring, I still kinda envy those that live in an area where they're common. I never even saw one myself.
Most we get here in the Netherlands are just heavy rainstorms and the like.
You've never seen a tornado before? What area of the Netherlands do you live in? Does your area have alot of tropics and high humidity from the rainstorms, or is it provincial?
I've had alot of fun in my life playing out in tornado storms. During the most violent one in 2000 that leveled the entire downtown area, I put on a swimsuit and ran through the streets and got knocked down constantly by the winds XD
It was great, haha
But it's a nice place to be at. Not much to do in terms of actual nightclubs or shit, though, but I don't go to such places anyway.
I often wish I was born in the US, though, cause then I could've traveled around and visited my friends.
The European Union is doing a great job at unifying (Hence the word 'Union', lol..) the countries, but there's still a (sometimes impassable) language barrier. :/
I have got a job at Rome's Hilton, so I'll have very little time to check Interwebz..:( But I'll check your LJ as soon as I'll have the chance! Hugs and best of wishes to you and Babytor!-***
