I've been waking up at 3 or 4 every morning for most of my pregnancy. I usually read or go on twitter for an hour then fall back to sleep until 7 or 8.

Our wings are not tired.
My family members all have greater respect for storms than I do. I love a storm and tend to sit and watch right in front of the window. Even when we board up for hurricanes I have a window left free for me to sit and watch the awesomeness. I probably haven't instilled any great fear of storms into the boys that way. Mom and siblings will do things like not run water or talk on the phone. Me, not so much.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
On the lightning front, my mom also told us to stay off the phone, but only if the lightning was nearby, which, given that we lived in LA, it rarely was. She was fine with letting us sit on her bed and watch the lightning outside her big window. But she had some stories! Like the time a bolt of lightning danced around her yard and then landed a few feet away from her. No doubt scaring the crap out of everyone.

Lightning was cause to get off the phone and stay away from water when I was a kid as well. Country people have a different relationship to storms.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I seem to remember being a teenager and rolling my eyes at parents (but I think not my parents?) who wanted us to get off the phone in a storm, when the phone was cordless.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just stepped inside after hanging out on my balcony watching a severe thunderstorm roll through. (I figure I'm safe because I'm surrounded by buildings higher than I am.)
I even ate a few pieces of hail that I picked up.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It astonishes me that multiple people are willing to name their cats Loki. I mean, I believe it, but it's like that time they called a hurricane Ophelia.
