oh, the things i will do to procrastinate, or, "other things that make me happy"

i love thunderstorms.

i remember as a kid sitting on our front porch (bronson house, for those of you in-the-know) with my older brother watching a thunder and lightening storm. it was awesome. we dont have nearly enough thunderstorms out in california. and if we do, its usually like, oooh. one bolt of lightening. ooooh. quiet rumblings of what might be thunder, but it most likely an airplane flying overhead. but out here on the east coast? the storms are amazing. so powerful. in fact, i was woken up at 4 am the other morning by thunder so loud it shook the panes of glass in my windows. and the lightening was so bright it was lighting up my room.

the sounds of rain and thunder really are incredibly relaxing. and believe it or not, quite conducive to writing a paper on tort liability.
