I don't care if forever never comes 'cuz I'm holding on to that teenage feeling

[ivyology]

Weather.com has "isolated thunderstorms" listed for the next few hours, but the sky is sunny and bright. I only care because I want to walk to Whole Foods, which isn't far but it's far enough that sunny and bright could go to grey and stormy in the time it would take me to get there, shop, and walk back. And I don't want to carry an umbrella. MY LIFE IS SO HARD. Of course I'm going to go. Maybe I'll get rained on and it will be a magical experience. Maybe I will be struck by lightning and then win the lottery. Maybe.

I read Twilight. It's my sister's fault. I'm reading the second book now. It's delicious stuff, and now I'm wondering why I ever stopped reading young adult novels. I like stories about teenagers a lot, I like remembering what it was like to be a teenager and to feel like life was a promise just waiting to be kept. It's not that I'm not happy enough with my life as it is, but that feeling isn't one I've been able to recapture.

And now I will go get rained on, or not.

Yeah, I translate "30% chance of isolated thunderstorms" as "we have no fucking idea." That was the forecast last Saturday night, and one of the biggest thunderstorms I've ever seen came through and knocked out the power over a huge part of Atlanta for over six hours.

I hate meteorologists.

I loved Twilight for the exact same reason. The books made me feel like I was 15 all over again, and it was so much fun. I hope you enjoy them! :)
