OH MY WORD, I'M IN THE TOP 3 [link]

[EDIT 2]

WELL that was an adventure... I woke up at 3am and was like "Oooooh pretty lightning and thunder @.@" And my sister was there freaking out and yelling at me to get in the basement. And you know how they say "If you get in a fire... what three things will you grab?" And you're all like in your mind "Oh tons of time! I'll grab a ton of stuff! No problemo~" Well I grabbed my computer/power cord, a childhood doll I still have (it was kinda in my arms already, when I get depressed I cuddle with my old stuff at night XP), my flashlight, a blanket to keep warm and my pillow. That's all I had time to get. It was hailing and it sounded like our skylights were seconds from breaking and it was not pretty man.

After the brunt of the storm died down we found out the roof was leaking in MY ROOM in 2 places. One in the bathroom which is fine, it's all linoleum in there and a bucket cured that. The other place was in our storage area... and mom's scrapbooks stuff got... well pretty wet. Everything in the box that got soaked was in plastic so nothing was ruined, just a box or two. Everything in them is fine much to moms relief. We put a towel across the carpet and wood in the storage area because it was leaking through the floor >.>

At this rate it's not if we loose power, it's when we loose power. We've spent the last hour gathering blankets, filling up jugs with water and dad checked the weather. Apparently that was the LIGHT end of the storm and worse is coming. Tornadoes, bigger hail, more wind... good stuff. I can actually hear it getting worse right now so yeah. If I'm gone a few days? Ya'll know why. We live on the back road of a back road of a back road. We get power LAST.

So have a great memorial weekend, try not to burn your hot dogs or over roast your marhsmallows and all that good stuff.

[END OF UPDATE 2]

[EDIT 1 and update:]
Update is I'm so sore I can't even think. After a week of 7 mile walks, super bad sun burn, really bad beds, sleeping on the floor, low sleep in general and standing for 10 hours strait today for the brat fry I'm beat. Every joint and muscle in my body aches so bad and I'm afraid I won't be able to move tomorrow let alone Monday =.= I can't even move now that I've flopped in bed with my computer to get more comfortable. My fingers are like the only thing that doesn't hurt right now and even that's a stretch with all the cuts I got on them today. So excuse me while I struggle to move for the next 1-3 days and am forced to clean out the family garage for 2 days...

Still on the road, life is going crazy. I did manage to do a lot of photo editing today though since I got a few hours free time and I wanted to just get the photos done and up! Sorry about the photo spam on my other account!

Have a great rest of the week guys, catch up with you this weekend
