I would kill
for ANY kind of electric storm.

The heat here is bloody unbearable - between 30 and 40 degrees most days. The storms are quite spectacular here - they come in off the Mediterranean and sound like cannon fire - and that's the quiet ones. Luckily for me - next week is the rainy week (tradition says it always rains on the "national" holiday week)

Barcelona is so cool. i've only been 4 times but managed to get away from the touristy stuff...
it's a great city to just walk around, eating and drinking as you go. living off tapas!
i've only ever been on holiday, but i am no tourist.

Indeed it is
unfortunately the storm was more like a wet fart than anything else - full of build-up, then embarrassingly short and wet

I'm scared of storms
I'm ok if someone else is there. Gordon Bennett I've just had a text from someone I thought had gone away and I don't want to reply. I don't want to be rude or make things awkward when we see each other but to reply now would be encouraging further texts. I don't wanna do that. Life is so weird. Everything is happening in reverse!

life can throw some weird shit at you, that's a fucking FACT!
i guess if you don't want contact or awkwardness then ignore the texts and if you ever meet (i.e. fail to avoid) this person simply feign ignorance.
works for me ;-)

I can't get away with it.
I think I'll send a really brief polite response tomorrow, but not say 'and how are you?' because that will prompt another text. Bloody Norah. I do think about these things too much. The awful thing is, I think I made it happen by wishing for it NOT to happen earlier on! Spooky eh.

nah, not spooky. you're just mental. join the club.
seriously, do yourself a favour and learn to just ignore folk who bring you down. nothing malicious or nuffink, just learn to filter them out.
you'll save a lot of energy...

When it storms in SoCal,
it really fucking storms. People flood down to the beach to watch the lightning display over the Pacific - it's AWESOME!
