I ordered Attack on Titan headphones yesterday.

One word: Fuck. Just, fuck.

Not just a thunderstorm, but a severe thunderstorm with potential flooding rolls in this morning. 2k's external drive is plugged straight into the wall with no surge protection whatsoever because there's no space on the main one and the secondary one stopped working. So, I got up and tried to go over to grandma's office in the pouring rain to unplug...and before I even get 1\8 there, the windshield wipers on the van completely break, as I have to turn around  and crawl back home with visibility being minimal at best. So, now I'm stranded here until the rain lets up and hoping that hard drive doesn't get fried because that's the one with all of my pics and, most importantly, my stories (I do have a backup of my stories on a flash drive here at the house, but it's a few months outdated).

There goes any plans to talk to the hospital about a job today, and if the rain doesn't let up anytime soon, probably no Portal as well.

@Pent: Really now? That's a coincidence...

Two hours ago I left my home to go buy myself Pokémon Y (at the store) and a 3DS (second-hand a bit outside the city center). I get outside and start rolling toward the store, all is fine except a few drops here and there. I get to the store and buy my game, no problems. I roll down to the bank to get cash...suddenly a gust of wind blows half the street away, and the fountain starts spitting water halfway across the street. Five minutes later, the sky falls down on me.

Fortunately the family I was buying the console from were nice enough to lend me a towel and some bags for the console, and I stayed indoors to wait out the worst of the storm (which lasted about 30 minutes give or take). Still...the skies are strange.
YOU COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS

I feel kinda bad, because it's absolutely roasting out here in London.

its just nasty and overcast here in MA...
What's in your hand, back at me. I have it, it's an oyster with two figures of your favorite Touhou characters. Look again, the figures are now vials of the Hourai Elixir. Anything is possible when your waifu smells like Old World and not a man. I'm a frog.

@Nej: Strange :\
(Also, I need to get back to Pokémon X -w-; )

The rain has let up for now, and my sister was able to transport me to grandma's office to unplug my drive, although I'm waiting to make sure everything is clear (Or mom to get off work so I can borrow the Ramcharger) before I take the van up to grandma's office; don't want to get caught in the rain if I don't have windshield wipers

Be careful Pent!

Also sucks about the storm. I hope your external drive is okay. :(

i'm actually rather frustrated because it's NOT raining here. it's been saying it'll rain for days, and it did a little bit this morning, but not enough to clean off my car completely.

my dad said that it's supposed to go all chicken little later tonight, but i don't trust it, so i'll probably take the hose to it tomorrow. i would have today were it not for schrodinger's downpour.

@Bella: I can report my drive is safe, thankfully
(Maybe if the weather doesn't suck, we can try again to Portal tomorrow night if I feel up to taking 2k back up there)

Bella

Alright. -w-

Kari, I'd gladly give you our rain if I could. It's gray and drizzly here and generally miserable. I hope the cable / power doesn't go out again like it did yesterday. (Which is rare to begin with, and all the more WTF-worthy since we didn't have any thunderstorms or high winds.)

Chocofreak13

and i'd take it, bells. i'm planning on going to bed early anyway and while the nice cool breeze and low barometric pressure is nice, what i really want right now is RAIN.
