good evening

It was thunder and lightning here about a half hour ago. I was standing outside on the sidewalk, watching it, but mom was all YOU WILL GET STRUCK BY LIGHTNIIING because she's afraid of lightning. I didn't but came inside anyway because it was very windy and I got some dust and stuff in my eyes.

Well about 8:40 I had got Mom convinced enough to go to Albertson's, not only because I had to return Dad's Redbox movie (The Soloist! which was good. We have this thing, in our family (well it's just me and Blake rly) where we refer to anything Robert Downey Jr acts in as 'it's Iron Man playing...' so and so, because he was so perfect as Iron Man that, really, everything is kinda an afterthought. Like. Sherlock Holmes, that RDJ is in, as Sherlock Holmes, we say it's Iron Man being Sherlock Holmes in Victorian times. Because that's pretty spot on if you've seen the Holmes preview.) but also because I wanted to get chicken wings and Blake was being very mind-reading cos he was like, let's go look at chicken wings and I was like GET OUT OF MY HEAD DEVIl-CHILD. As we were walking from the car to Albertson's, Blake whispers to me 'there's lightning' and I was all, 'oh fuck'. Mom's afraid of lightning, like uber afraid. So were all: Hey mom, look at that sign right there. Albertson's has cut prices! Yep, just keep looking at that sign until we get inside..but as we left the store, there was lightning totally unobvious and she freaked out but we got home safely.

I just saw a Miley Cyrus commercial where she shows off her new "fashion" line at Wal-Mart and it's awful stuff, for some reason it has the UK Flag on it? like thanks for butchering out culture, now go ruin the Brit's flag? Good lord. I felt like, literally, throwing up. And I reallyyy hate Wal-Mart. And I don't want it in our town. Cos they are evil.

I am loading episodes on Youtube of Queer As Folk the US version right now cos I watched one of the UK version and it was pretty damned good, but the UK version is on Hulu and Hulu is slow and has commercials.

Anyway alright. Alive After Five tomorrow. Been looking forward to it for weeks. It's weird how much I like this. This quote from Clerks basically sums me up: But you hate people! Yet I love social gatherings. It's ironic.

I have this continual fear that bugs are crawling all over me. I never sleep well with this paranoia. Am I spelling paranoi right? I don't give a damn.
