if i am not mistaken, today is day 30.
and, i have SO much to catch you people up on!
1. i dyed a pink streak in my hair, but it faded out in less than 2 weeks. so cool, right?
2. i got my prom dress... sort of. it's my beautiful friend helen's miss. gold & black dress... <3
3. actually wore a hat to the cup this year (and it was mistaken for a satellite dish.. not cool, you know who you are.) however, the brace was more popular than one would think!
the wind blew ALL day.
so, it's been a very long time since i've been on blogger. and right now i'm about to cry. why? because the thunder, lightning, rain and tornado warnings that were floating about. spring break has been GREAT. visited grandparents in beaufort, which was uneventful to say the least. had some great times with ashley, laney, and blake though. ashley's new hair is hawt, btdubbs. went to charleston for the day on friday and had an amazing time. chucktown is the place to be. <3 then, drove up to nc today, which wasn't too bad. i'm just sick and tired of being cramped in the backseat of a volvo for 3 hours at a time.
oh wow.
well, let's see. i was in the middle of this blog, about forty five minutes ago. and this is what went down:
9:30ish: still skyping zak. thunder and lightning becomes worse, so i get off of the computer.
9:37ish: REALLY bad hail, and deafening wind, fair calls and says they can't come home, and i begin screaming and crying.
9:41: zak calls as i'm frantically trying to make room in the hall closet for myself and buddy.
9:45ish: crying in the hall closet, on the phone with zak, terrified that the end of my life was about to come with the next strike of lightning.
9:50ish: zak just hangs up.. and it's suddenly CRAZY quiet, so i jump out of the closet and i hear this really loud noise..
9:52: huge limb(s) fell on the jeep, by the side porch. i attempt to make a call to 911, and then hang up because i figured my life wasn't in danger.
10ish: sitting on the floor in the hall with buddy, waiting on my parents to get home.
10:05ish: they get home, and laugh at their traumatized child.
seriously, i've never heard anythinnnng that loud and scary in my life. just more proof that i'm deathly afraid of storms. no getting around that one, anymore. i already got some pictures of the poor jeep, whose hood was CRUSHED. ):
--------------------
so while i'm sitting here, trying to calm down, the storm rages on outside.. it's really hard concentrating on this right now, let me tell you. i don't know why i'm so scared of storms, or a lot of things for that matter. they're loud, destructive, scary.. they're also beautiful to some people. i think i'm more afraid of death than anything. even the littlest things that shouldn't be scary, i fear because i'm terrified of dying. i don't know what's going to happen after i die. nobody really actually knows what you'll experience once you're dead. i don't want to think about that. but then again, thinking about something that you can't really think about is hard to wrap your mind around. at least for me.. it's like i've trained myself to automatically pick out the things that could cause danger- and to stay away from them. i mean, i'm not complaining, but then again i don't want it to hinder me from doing something fun. i finally got over my fear of roller coasters when i rode them this past fall, but did i really? i conquered it, but that doesn't get over the fact that i'm still terrified of falling off the intimidator to my death. with everything, you have to pull together the little parts to see the big picture. i know storms scare me more than anything really (vacuums second) but death stands overall. however, i don't think death by vacuum is possible.
