I heart thunderstorms.

I am just in awe that something as beautiful as lightning can be so...terrifying.  I was with a friend today who had lightning strike 50 ft. away from her and she freaked.  She just wanted to get out of the area completely.  Kind of unnecessary if you ask me.  She would've been perfectly safe in her car. 
Anyways, I find thunderstorms so relaxing.  Most of the time, they come through during the night and I must be a heavy sleeper because I never hear any of them!  Argh.  Well.  Now I'm almost a complete night-owl so I should be able to hear anything coming our way.

Honey Bees.

This is a picture of a honeybee.  They can sting you, pollinate flowers and plants, and scare little kids with the thought of a painful little stinger in their arm.  Apparently, they're almost endangered.  About a year ago, Haagen-Dazs (sorry for the lack of umlauts), created the campaign HD <3 HB (Haagen Dazs loves honey bees) and they're accepting donations to help the plight of the honey bee.  They also have a flavor dedicated to the honey bee.  Also, if you buy any flavor with 'bee-built flavors' (aka plant based), you also contribute to the campaign. 
I mean, Haagen-Dazs is delicious, but this makes me love them even more.

Retail = Worst Job Ever.

Ok.  I'm sure there are worse things.  But the worst department to work in?  Shoes.  Why, you ask?  Because apparently people have NO IDEA how to put the shoes they just put on their stinky feet back into the box, lined up perfectly, and put it back on the shelf RIGHT WHERE THEY FOUND IT.  Good lord.  I glare at customers' backs if they leave shoes on the floor.
And who decided to cut down a whole forest for ONE SHOEBOX?!
I'm done ranting now.

Kick-Ass.

I've always personally liked the phrase 'kick-ass'.  And the fact that they made a movie named that?  Kick-ass.  Just finished watching it at 2:30 in the morning (I am a night owl) and thought it was a pretty classic superhero movie with plenty of teen-related shtuff.  It's not just for adults anymore.  It's for teens too.  Bahaha.  Though I wouldn't show this to a pre-teen or even an early teens child.  It's kinda violent.  And it swears a lot.  Which is why I'm watching it in the middle of the night from my computer so my mom doesn't ask why I'm watching this.  She's turned a blind-eye before, but even the title of this movie swears.  She would not agree.
