I got a brand new attitude, and I'm gonna wear it today.

Holy storm! It's thundering, lightening, pouring, the whole bit. I unplugged my computer and cell phone charger so that if the electricity got zapped I wouldn't lose my lap top or cell phone. I got some laundry done, and came up JUST in time not to get poured on.

This all also means that my wireless connection is a tad questionable, but it seems alright for now.

I've spent much of the day reading. I couldn't find anyone that was going into town or anything, and I didn't feel like hiking - especially alone. I do that pretty much every day. And now I'm glad I didn't go on a long hike, considering the weather. I hope that everyone doing the overnight hike to the hot springs and Pyramid is alright. I'd hate for anyone to slip on wet rocks or get zapped. :[

I like the storm though. It jazzes up the weather which has been sunny this week, and it's fun to listen to. I love that cramping release that is the sound of thunder, when it makes the floor under your feet vibrate. We had one boom that came an instant after the lightning so you know it's right overhead. Though maybe it's starting to calm down. And maybe it'll start up again. We'll see!

There was a dance party last night. That was fun to go to for a while. I like to dance! Though the music was mostly rap stuff - could have been a little better. Tonight I guess there's another theme party: Vikings v. Amazons. Hah. I dunno how people are gonna come up with ideas for that, but you can bet that some people are going to have the most ridiculous costumes. As for me, I'm not going dressed in a skirt and bra, so I'll just go dressed as me. That's going to have to suffice. Maybe I'll go the other way and dress as a Viking. If I can find anything Viking-like. Pfft.

I'm gonna enjoy the storm now. This calls for tea, methinks. I've started to drink a lot of it. Maybe I'll try Earl Grey with milk and sugar as Kelsea suggested.

Current music: "So What" - Pink

[Edit:] So that boom I mentioned that was right overhead? It hit the dining hall while Jamie was in it! Crazy!
