lightning storm vs. lightning bugs.
So, I've been home for a few weeks now and it wasn't until tonight that I truly felt I was home, cheesy as it may sound.
I got home from work, and there was a pretty awesome lightning storm occurring--something I haven't seen in a good 5 years.
I sat on the porch with my grandma, eating some cheeseball dip (better than it sounds), watching the lightning flash above, and the lightning bugs flitter below in the yard.
Natural light is pretty awesome.

No matter if you'll vote for him or not this election, it's still pretty interesting.
If elected, he'll be the oldest president in history-currently he's 72 years old.
He's 12 years older than my own grandmother and only 16 years younger than my great grandmother.

day before.
So, I just finished packing. Most if it fits in my car comfortably. The rest is crammed in. :P
I spent more time in Albuquerque than I had planned- 5 years- and spent most of it trying not to get attached. Alas, I know I will miss Frontier's tortillas and the way the sunset looks on the mountain.
But I still feel like most of me is back in Kentucky and always will be.
I'm not quite going back 'home', but as close as I can get to it.
70% excited, 20% nervous, 10% wondering how on earth I accumulated so much stuff.

Capitulate (verb)
: to surrender to certain terms, to give up resistance.
Thank you political roundtable-ists for using words I don't know.

Montreal, Ontario?
As I'm sure the two readers of this know, I really really really dislike Avril Lavigne. Like, want to sock her in the face dislike.
She's like Paris Hilton stupid, only I'm sure Paris is aware she's stupid. Avril thinks she's smart. HA.
Anyway: this is from here: http://idontlikeyouinthatway.com/2008/04/avril-lavigne-is-really-stupid.html
"Fans at Avril Lavigne's Canadian homecoming were left stunned after the singer displayed an embarrassing lack of geographical knowledge. Lavigne, 23, shocked concertgoers at her Montreal show by incorrectly stating what province she was in. "I love you Montreal, I'm so happy to be back home...in Ontario, Canada," Lavigne said to the crowd. Montreal is actually a city in Quebec."
And Avril's FROM Canada!
Just so you know, Avril dropped out of school at 16 and said earlier that she wasn't going to go back because she didn't have to now that she's rich.
Like I said: "want to sock her in the face."
Stay in school, kids.

when the day met the night.
When I was little, I used to make up stories about how the world started, including one about when the moon and sun first met. It was midsummer, the time of the month when the moon rises earlier in the day and the sun meets it when it's about to set. They fell in love, of course, and had star babies.
The moon was a chill person, content to relax, while the sun was a bit of a busy bee, a little hyperactive.
Some kids from Vegas wrote a song about this. Good to know I wasn't the only child making up stories about things science had yet to teach me.
Good stuff. The whole story can be found in the song "When the day met the night" on Panic at the disco's new album.

When the sun found the moon
She was drinking tea in a garden
Under the green umbrella trees
In the middle of summer
When the moon found the sun
He looked like he was barely hanging on
But her eyes saved his life
In the middle of summer
Good stuff. The whole story can be found in the song "When the day met the night" on Panic at the disco's new album.
