at some point durring the middle of the night, i was awoken to find (i was lying on my stomach, face-down...) Lizzie lying on my back w/ her head on my head, shaking shaking shaking...horribly...after having been half-awake a few moments, i heard the loud thunderstorm happening outside...i took her off my back and tried to comfort her, but she wouldn't stop shaking...i was half-awake a little while longer 'cuz she'd put her head on my neck...so for a little while i was going back and forth between petting her and trying to calm her down and trying to get back to sweet sweet sleep...for the record (if it actually needs to be said): Lizzie's a big weenie...Leala was up and about in my room when i woke up, i don't remember if she was barking at the storm or not...but then she got up on the bed and crawled under the covers and went to sleep...not shaking...she's a much braver doggie...she even survived a tornado and its smashing of the windows...although i'm sure she was shaking durring that happened...(i wasn't home at the time (excuse me while i side-track into a completely different story...) but Leala was at the dining room window barking at the storm and just before the siren sounded my sister ran and grabbed her and took her into the hallway...i believe it was a matter of seconds before my dad would't've let her go out after the dog...but she got her and she was crouched down holding her while the tornado was fuckin' shit up...it's pretty scary to think that she almost could've been pelted by a hundred shards of flying glass...i would've lost two dogs (from my current perspective...it was a couple years before Lizzie was born...prob'ly about 2...))

but anyhoo...today i went w/ my mom to Target and i got some shelf thingies for my books and a big cd shelf tower thingie...so i assembled it today, i'm mildly proud of myself, or something...and i put all my cds in it...that would fit...it's like a 456 cd holder, so the box says, but there's 60 or so cds i'm guessing that won't fit in it...of course it's not exactly that many in there, 'cuz i have a lot of cds that are in those really thin cardboard thingies, as well as a few in larger-than-normal packaging...so yea...they were strewn about across a few smaller cd towers...and there were bunches that were stacked in piles on the floor that wouldn't fit in any of those...so the nice big centralized shelf-thingie is quite nice lookin'...ah...i'm getting a boner looking at all my cds...all those cds...it's fucking beautiful, man...(you can pretend that you didn't read those past few sentences, if you wish...) but all those colors mixed together...ah...art, beauty, i tell's ya...

also, yesterday, as i didn't have school today, wasn't feeling much like sunday (after work, that is...) so for a certain stretch of time i wasn't thinking about the normal sunday stuff, and i missed Futurama! argh! i remembered like 15 min after it was over...oh well...at least i didn't miss my Simpsons...

and i think i might've "solved" our getting to the airport wed morning problem...my dad will be going to Mexico that very morning at 6-something as well...so yes, i'll assume you have the logic skills to put the information together and arrive at the conclusion that i have devised...i need to talk to David...hopefully he got off work tomorrow like he mentioned he was going to try and do...
