I joined in the summer going into the eight grade (2012) and now I am going into tenth this august.
HUGE thunderstorms in our area last night!
I didn't think it was too bad, mainly because I was 20 minutes away playing softball
The other team was hiding out in their dugout, and then four of our team were out in right field warming up. The wind started to pick up really fast and really bad, we were falling over. But it was also blowing dust over from the construction site across the street. It brought so much dust, we literally couldn't see anything, it was crazy
Then when we started to warm up again, I felt kinda funny and said something was wrong. Everyone else was okay and stuff but I nodded over to a woods across the street and down a little way and said something was really wrong. Aaaaand a minute later we saw the smoke.
A HUGE barn got struck by lightning and caught fire. And it was filled with straw and hay so it ignited super fast. I've never seen something that big on fire before, it was crazy
Yeah, it was... exciting.Oh wow
That's crazy. Where do you live?
Geesh wow crazy storm. Last night we had thunder and these trees were blowing it in wind. It was so random though. It was all sunny, then out of nowhere it stormed for like 30 minutes, and then it was sunny back to normal xD Oh Texas
I'm not much of a twitter person but hastag texas weather
We has some thunder and rain for about an hour or so. At home is was light-ish but apparently at my mom's work it was coming down in sheets.
Later I saw a rainbow! (Or maybe two. Was it two? It might have been the same one.)
Okay, I just need to get this out.
The topic? The absurdity of Love Triangles.
Love Triangles. You hear that terminology all the time, and everyone's so accepting of it. That would be okay if the terminology was right.
But it's completely wrong!
For any shape to be a shape, the shape has to be complete, meaning no gaps, or holes, all one connected line.
But if you look at the typical "love triangle" (we'll use Adam, Brad and Chelsea - that's another thing, isn't Brad such a completely stereotypical mean dumb jock name?) you'll see it doesn't work.
Okay, so Chelsea is the top point/middle point in the "triangle" and Adam is on one side and Brad's on the other. Adam is connected to Chelsea because he loves her and Brad is connected to Chelsea because he loves her. But Adam does not love Brad and Brad does not love Adam, so they don't connect.
That is not a complete shape, and therefore a triangle. It's just an angle.
On the other hand, if you take Aaron, Bethany, Carlos and Danielle, you actually get a shape. Aaron loves Bethany, so they're connected. Bethany loves Carlos, so they're connected. Carlos loves Danielle, so they're connected. But Danielle loves Aaron, so they're connected and that makes a shape, as they're no breaks. There you have a love square.
So I will happily write love squares, love rectangles, love rhombi, heck, even love parallelograms, but I will never, ever, write a love triangle.

You think Texas weather is weird? Come up to where I live. It will be 70 degrees one day and snowing the next.

our paralyzed kitten didn't make it : /
I feel more angry than sad. Just angry that it even had its accident that caused it to be paralyzed, angry that for a few great days it seemed like it would pull through, angry that we were gonna get it a nice indoor home where it can be safe and we never got to do that, just... ANGRY! agh. -_-
I'm currently storming around my room hitting pillows/stuffed animals while checking out the DIS
weird multitasking.
--sorry, had to vent a bit there >_<--
