Ah, home. Today was quite possibly one of the longest drives that I have ever known. It seemed as if I would never reach the end. I was watching TNT and wishing in vain that my diseased laptop would resume operation when I remembered that I forgot to get my cell out of the car. I made my way out the front door to be greeted by the scent of approaching rain. I stopped in the driveway to observe the stars above and lightning flashes to the north. Somewhere in the distance was a frog singing and all manner of insects were chirping their night song. It was quite nice and homey feeling. I realized that I had grown used to the wonder of nighttime being shattered by the glare of neon lights.
Clouds have now covered the stars. I'm listening to the rumble of thunder and an angry assault of rain against the window panes. The lights are flickering, so I suppose I should end this post soon. What started out as a pleasant little storm is growing increasingly menacing. I love falling asleep during thunderstorms, but I don't think this one is going to allow sleep anytime soon...

I dont think I have ever read a better entry. The words used had so much color to them, made me really relate to the thunderstorms...especially during the summmer months. There is just something about them which makes you feel cozy inside when you are in the comforts of your own room, and getting ready to fall asleep.
