holy honking thunderstorm batman!

describe the one thing you are most passionate about? (a quote from a match at eH)
"i see heaven in a little flower, the world in a grain of sand, and eternity in an hour. the stupidist things give me great joy. i love bad sci-fi movies where the monster suits have visible zippers, the villian gives an incoherent, but misanthropic speech, and the director cuts in way too much military stock footage. i love to drink whiskey and sing bluegrass music and pick at my guitar. i would continue to learn new things even if it were a jailable offense. i walk around stoned on the pleasures life affords me. i believe that genuine, sincere lust is a virtue."

describe the most important thing you are looking for in a person?
"she is wide awake!! she is not merely sleepwalking through life. she has a deep empathy for other people and the sadness they carry with them. she understands that we are all still frightened children deep down inside, and she loves us all anyway. in particular, she loves men, faults and all. she understands that the world didn't just miraculously spring into existence the day she was born. she knows what the world was like before she was here to grace it, and she harmonizes with older melodies. she has cultivated her own sense of humor, and now it permeates every aspect of her life, even the parts of her life that aren't funny."

interesting answers. he also has a dog named hagrid. it's a shame i'm not at all interested in getting to know him. *shrugs*

i had planned to cancel my membership at the end of the month but i forgot so i automatically got renewed again. ah well, at the end of september i will not be renewing, i've already changed my options. of course, my point of view could change between now and then but i'm not counting on it.

i have yet to meet someone that clicked or sparked in the going on three months since i joined. there is no excitement when i see that i have a new message waiting. it's more like, god, now i have to write back. which sucks.

some people have a few of my interests, no one has many and i don't have many of theirs. and it's not that i'm against having new interests and such, i'm all for that. but it just seems like it takes such effort to even find anything to talk about with them.

me: so, what's the last book you read?
them: yeah, i don't read. i like to look at car magazines though.
me: okay, next question, what do you do in your spare time?
them: i hang out at bars and/or clubs and work on my car.
me: erm, and how exactly did we get matched?

it's like the more i've narrowed my criteria, the less my matches and i have in common. but they're nice. most of them. i've had a couple of jerks give smart-ass answers to the eH questions. and it's like, if you can't be bothered to answer the friggin questions then why are you paying money to be here?

i don't see why it's so hard. i want a best friend that i can spend my life with. plain and simple. it's funny how hard something that simple actually is.

ah, but such is life and i have a long ways to go so there's no rush. one day i'll meet him and until then, i'll just be patient. not that there is really anything else i can do. lol

so, more rain and more storms coming our way. yippee!

last week it flooded and i got to watch cars float down the city streets on the news. my brother's best friend had to abandon his car because it was floating away with him in it.

shelock ended up having to sleep in his office because as he tried to get home they kept closing roads due to the flooding. in the end he had to turn around and go back to work because there was no way for him to get home.

yet another reason why i'm glad that i work within a few miles of home.

i have seen enough rain in the past six to eight months to last me quite a while. now, don't get me wrong. i am certainly glad that we aren't having the drought that we were having a couple of summers ago because that truly sucked. but with all the rain we've been having the ground is saturated and trees keep falling over and roads keep flooding and it's so damn humid all the time.

so my hyper-ness is still here but it's mellowed a bit. i napped during while you were out earlier and woke up in time to watch justin in action on in a fix. as i have stated in the past, damn that man is hot!

i'm tempted to run around and knock some holes in the walls with a hammer and pull up the carpet and crap just so i can get them here to fix the house so i can watch him sweat up close and personal.

i said i'm tempted, i didn't say i'd actually do it.

besides, my dad would kick my ass if i stated banging holes in the walls.

that's another trait i'd like my man to have. it'd be cool if he were handy around the house, and like to do home improvement type stuff. of course, he doesn't have to look like justin but i certainly wouldn't kick him out of bed if he did.

it's been thundering now for close to two hours and now it seems the storm is finally getting here. the thunder is so close now that the house is rattling. the dogs are freaking out and the lightening is really picking up.

and because i don't want to die of electrocution or whatever while posting a diary entry, which would prove to the world that i really am a big 'ol honking dork, i'm going to finish this up and get off of here. i have a new book waiting for me anyway. and i do love to curl up under the covers during a storm and listen to the wind and the rain and the thunder and i'll pull the blinds up some so i can watch the lightening.

the only thing that could make a thunderstorm better would be if i could find a man who also liked them.

jeff and judah both hated storms. weenies.
