last night, i was stirred...no, that's far too calm and casual. i was FUCKING FRIGHTENED OUT OF MY MIND when i was awoken by a bolt of thunder that seemed to rend the air into shreds. of course, when we wake up, we're not at our steadiest and most rational and i figured we were under attack or something. this whole week i've gotten up in the middle of the night and put on the news, afraid that some vital piece of information relating to our security may have been revealed while i was slumbering.
