First Storm of 2006

Somz and Melissa.,

This Friday night didn't turn out anything like I had expected. At work today, we got 59 minutes, so I got to leave at 3:00 PM. Came home, surfed, and then napped until 7:00 PM.. because I knew a bunch of us had planned to go see Bishop Black at Sammy T's...

Sara called me out on it tonight... "I thought you hated Sammy T's" (she and I have had this -clubbing- discussion many times)... I really do dislike the place. I was just going because everyone else was going and my friends were playing. And, if everyone else is there that I know... I will at least have a decent time.

J-mo and I grabbed food at Applebee's around 8:00 PM. Meanwhile, I was playing phone tag with Somz and Jawana. Jawana was on her way to Hville. We decided to meet up at Leslie's and head from there to the gig.

So we met up with Somz, Leslie, and Melissa... by this point it was already 9:30 PM. When we got ready to leave, the tornado sirens went off. We played it safe and went back inside to check the news. Good thing we did, because shortly there after almost golf ball sized hail began raining down. It was freakin' loud.

We all had our cameras out, and we're taking pix... of ourselves... in the bathroom ... in case it was our last night together on the face of the earth (more will be posted on the main page once J-mo sends them to me).

I had the ingenious idea of duct taping ourselves together (after all, remember I keep some with me at all times, in case my head feels like it's going to explode) so it'd be easier to find us after the tornado. They all thought it was funny... ummm.. but I was kinda being serious.

Anyways, we ended up having a "storm party" at Leslie's until about 11:30 PM. Good times... well as good as could be had when tornados are being spotted all around you.

Hope you all survived ok. Damage assessments in the morning...
