POLLarizing!! I know. I suck.

Did you vote in the poll I put up a few days ago? The poll asked you what kind of weather was totally awesome, and the choices were: sunny with no clouds, severe thunderstorms with lightening, snowy out and clear skies, and swelteringly humid. I was inspired to create that poll because Houston was in the middle of a particularly fearsome thunderstorm, and a friend and I were discussing how cool/not cool it was. I posited that thunderstorms were perhaps the best kind of weather that there was, and she posited that I was a freak and sunny days were best. So to settle the score...
Sunny days won a total of 2 votes, which was 28% of the votes, and
Severe thunderstorms won 5 votes, which accounted for 71% of the votes.

PortablePriya: hey, i'm just looking at my journal, and guess whose weather TOTALLY LOST in the polls?

C: oh please
C: I can't compete with ignorance

PortablePriya: when asked "what kind of weather is totally sweet?" a whopping 71% chose severe thunderstorms

C: not to mention
C: your thing lets people vote twice
C: I know I did
C: haha

PortablePriya: hahaha i know you did too
PortablePriya: it only let me vote once, somehow

C: you know why?
C: it knows I'm right.

PortablePriya: bah
PortablePriya: it gave you your little cushion of doubt but i still won

C: there is NOTHING nice about severe thunderstorms
C: this is all coming from severely rich people
C: who have no need to go out when its' raining

PortablePriya: hahahaha

C: because they have drivers
C: WHEREAS
C: WE POOR FOLK
C: MUST DRIVE THROUGH LIGHTNING

PortablePriya: so this is a class war?

C: yes.

PortablePriya: hahahaha
PortablePriya: well then i'm sorry i instigated it
PortablePriya: but i also enjoy driving through thunderstorms
PortablePriya: just sayin'

C: oh no it was on long before
C: man
C: you strange.
C: just the other day
C: driving down to galveston
C: it rained cats and dogs
C: and I almost had to pull over
C: I could not see

PortablePriya: i mean, instigated this class BATTLE
PortablePriya: not class WAR

C: yes, yes

PortablePriya: i stand corrected

C: hahaha

Uh, what!?

What!?????

But seriously, I think I'm going back either Monday the 7th or Tuesday the 8th, so not all hope is lost.

You are forgiven.

About a month ago I was driving in that killer storm Houston had where there were lighting bolts all over our area and that wall fell down by your house, and the wind was hella intense and I couldn't see a god damn thing through the windshield and the car shook every time light flashed across the sky and people and old newspapers and plastic bags were flying across the street by the Galleria and I was like

THE WORLD IS FUCKING ENDING...
SWEET!
APOCALYPSE NOW!

So maybe thunderstorms are favored by sadomasochists?

Just a thought.
