The Apartment 430 crew went down to the pool with the sky looking completely overcast. Eventually we had the whole pool area to ourselves, because I guess nobody wants to get rained on while in the water? Anyways. Inevitably it started raining. Doing what any other sensible human being would do (I hope you're seeing the pattern here, we make great decisions), we threw our belongings under shelter and made our way to the hot tub. Turn on the bubble jets and we're good to go.
We sat in the hot tub getting rained on for at least half an hour, talking and reminiscing and joking around. The only thing that forced us to get out was a crack of lightning, 400 decibels too loud, appearing right over our heads. The lightning flashed before my eyes, and with it my entire life. It only took us a nanosecond to jump out of the hot tub and bolt for shelter, screaming like little girls the entire way (mostly just because of the adrenaline rush. Yeah.) Quite seriously, it was one of the scariest experiences of my life. If I learned anything from today, it is that I'm probably invincible.
Also this picture does a great job of showing off my sandal tan.
Living fearless, dangerous and without a doubt with pride
You keep your head held high
What made you this strong?
You keep your head held high
What made you this strong?
Song: "Lightning Crashes" by Live. The song doesn't actually have much to do with the weather phenomenon that I experienced, but it always immediately springs to mind during a thunderstorm, and today was no different. Such a perfect song. Part of the soundtrack to my novella, both for its lyrical themes and its powerful sound. I know I've been on a 90's rock binge lately, I promise this is the last one.
