Holy hell! Last night it stormed. I've lived through almost thirty-one years of Oklahoma weather, which is probably the most fucked-up in the country, and I've never seen anything like that. It was nothing but lightning and thunder for hoursAt one point, lightning struck so near to the house that the thunderclap was instantaneous. It was also

I was in Muscogee this weekend working a faire with my husband, and it woke us up about daylight Monday. It must have followed me, because it's been storming here in the DFW area as well.

You aren't related to one of the Norse gods or anything, are you? That was some serious storm queen shit, right there. SCARY.

The Muskogee renfaire? apocalypticbob wenches there! Cool!

I missed it this year, alas! Just too damn tired, and no money to spend. Feh.

How DO Oklahomans feel about the song "Okie From Muskogee"? Seriously, I've always wondered.

[naamah_darling]

I have only the vaguest awareness of country music, since I loathe about 98% of it, but I can tell you that it got plenty of radio play when I was a kid, and that back when you used to have those coin-op jukeboxes at dinner tables in diners, it was on every single one of 'em. It's still on a lot of jukeboxes around here. That one and "Tulsa Time" got a lot of play.

That said, the lyrics are incredibly stupid. If I were from Muskogee and moved out of Oklahoma, thus prompting everyone who learned that to start singing that fucking song at me, I might go insane. The way, say, it drives me nuts because people tend to start in with that fucking "OOOOOOOOOOOOklahoma!" crap whenever I visit somewhere not here.

At least the Ooooooooklahoma song has more tolerable lyrics, even if I did have to sing it about nine million times in junior high. (I've also learned that if you pick up and sing the WHOLE DAMN SONG at them, the look is so totally worth it. "OH, GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE!?")

See, I go straight to Steve Martin in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels shouting "Oklahoma! Oklahoma!" and smashing pots together. Would that be irritating?

[naamah_darling]

It would be a welcome change from the norm, I think.

[naamah_darling]

Hahaha! I would totally join in if you did that. Tuneless howling or not. *lol*

Sargon and I sing at each other a lot. It's goofy. :D

"That's not a euphemism, I swear."

It's not? How disappointing! XD

I've got noisy voices, too, lately. Sometimes I'm surprised that the people in traffic can't hear them. I will say one thing for cell phones and hands-free headsets: people no longer really pay attention when I appear to be talking to myself.

[naamah_darling]

Yes! *lol* I totally get it.

It's worst when my willpower is low -- usually when I'm tired -- and one of them manages to slip something out. I get some good snark that way, though.

Mine make me eat things I formerly considered revolting. Anise-flavored cookies? Oh my GOD, NO. And yet, there was the box, I took it, and there are none left. And they were good.

I'm glad not to be the only one with foul-minded little imps taking up residence in the back of my skull. :D

Jag is indeed going to kill you for that. Wench.

You're lucky I have a lot of shipping to do today.

*throws a ... a skein of yarn after you*

WENCH.
