The unflappable flapped

I completely freaked out tonight. My mom is still in the hospital after her knee surgery and my dad and I decided to grab a bite to eat over at the Outback Steakhouse across the street. (they have this Ahi Tuna Chopped Salad with wasabi dressing which rocks my world) When my dad and I came out of the building there were these nasty low-hanging black clouds over the hospital which just happened to be rotating. Meaning that they could funnel on down and go all helen hunt on us. I was very nervous. All I wanted to do was get the fuck over to the hospital and go inside where we might have some sort of protection. Of course it took my dad FOREVER to get over there find a effing parking spot. Then he just meandered over to the entrance. I was getting very very pissed off. You don't fuck around with rotating clouds no matter how cool it looks. I've been through the tornado thing before. I was braver then, I guess. I think the only reason I started flipping out was because I was with my dad and my mom can't exactly walk anywhere at the moment. Of course my flipping out involves taking charge, getting irritable and not appearing to flip out at all.

thats all. that and I'm playing out my current obsession with the dresden dolls in true jenny fashion.

i take it the three of you survived the terror that is wicked weather. i think it is time for you to move to where earthquakes - which are rather fun - not cyclones are the order of the day.

Believe me I'm looking forward to it. As a Superior Practitioner of the Earth, I'm looking forward to observing the slip-fault phenomenon up close and personal.
