My cousin took off like a shot from work today because we had a tornado touch down south of town (where her house is located) and she was desperate to check on her cats.
Out. For. A. Walk. ... Bitch.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
but all I can think when I see stuff like that is "HOLY SHIT WHY ARE YOU NOT COWERING IN A BASEMENT LIKE AN INTELLIGENT PERSON! I DO NOT NEED TO SEE THAT VIDEO THAT BADLY!"
I really can't help but think that.

Yeah, that's what goes through my head, too.

I know! I went through enough tornadoes as a kid that I get all pissy with people who want to go out and look at one. Don't go out and look at it, idiot! Take shelter! Mother Nature pwns your ass, and she's apparently had a bad day.

Seriously.
I have never been near a tornado, and those videos are freaking me out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just talked my sister through a margin adjustment in Word. It went something like "Can you adjust the margin?" "No." "But I need it!" "I'm not doing it. Move the thing yourself." "Are you sure you want to give me the fish?" "The fish, the rod and the fish food. I'm not doing it." "Oh! Hey! Look at that. Nice talking to you."
I half expected her to tell me the cafe was on fire like the iPhone ad.

I had nightmares about tornados before I ever experienced the edges of one (visiting relatives in the midwest.)
Just spent the last couple of hours drinking wine, eating guac and watching storms to the south with neighbors on a nearby porch. I wanted to stay out longer, but all day meetings tomorrow and I think 4 glasses of white is enough for tomorrow...
I FUCKING LOVE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

Aww, I love that you're still smitten with your neighborhood. It is a romance for the ages. I am still smitten with my house, too. Although my house seems to think that if I feel so enamored of it, I should keep it tended just a bit better.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My house feels the same way as Liese's. Entitled little thing!

I'm watching last night's Colbert Report, and he just referenced Hookers and Blow.
... Colbert! Are you LURKING? C'mon out! We don't bite! (Unless you ask very nicely.)
