did y'alls know that you can blog from your phone using blogspot? :-D

well... that's exactly what these last several posts were... ahaha. i'm actually embarrased - i wrote all these at around 2 a.m. using my cell phone during a blackout in our neighborhood. it's supposed to be read backwards, the last post being the first. so:

stormchasers: it was a dark and stormy, blackout night. ...

9 come back and banish shower, and thunder return in defense of sky. ...

8 ...we're still blacked out. i can decipher land's secrets now 2 shower, and sky's loyal sister, rain, hears. i believe sky will-

7 still wondered at that strange tug that pulled her 2 earth. she sent showers 2 remind land of the questions she still due him. ...

6 request in this part of his domain, we must move on. how can rain ignore land's obvious pervascence? he must b listening. rain -

5 i love how the thunder answers the sky's every ginger step, encouraging her 2 turn away, move on, they've answered land's fool -

4 keep this secret, in the way our frndshp stands, the way the thunder peals in the distance, cooing 2 the sky's peaceless shudder.

3 loved rainy days as well, but the storm's subsided n the thunder's resorted 2 whispers i might have heard frm him neways. i'll -

2 it was time to test her imagination out. she retired 2 bed. i retired 2 mine. i wanted 2 share my witchery w/ sum1 else, 1 i knew-

1 ang lakas-lakas ng storm d2, namatay yng kuryente namin. our house blew a fuse, that my sis, who was reading exotic fan fiction...

but the whole piece actually goes:

i'm a lot embarrased coz now that i'm actually lucid i think the whole thing's rubbish ahaha... permit me a chance to reclaim my dignity by presenting a rewrite ;-P -

stormchasers: it was a dark and stormy, blackout night.

one shouldn't be too concerned when suddenly your house lights decide to resign, throw up their hands, and retire for the night, plunging your house and the rest of your neighborhood into darkness. i realize i've folded into the rare chicago blackout.

for a moment i listened to lightning and thunder and their daughter rain, who playfully, persistently knocked on my window to join her outside. for a moment i considered taking a quick bike ride but suddenly lightning emitted a rather emotional flash and thunder pealed in agitated kind, so i stayed indoors. rain can't help but beat harder.

it's in this moment my sister joined light in retirement, so she escaped to her room leaving me pondering in the dark. "storms are best enjoyed curled up between sheets," she intones from her bedroom, and soon she's fast asleep. i decide to listen to the talk outside - i realize it's no family quarrel.

thunder peals in the distance cooing the sky's peaceless shudder. he's ten miles ahead, telling sky to follow, they've completed their obligation to this patch of land. but sky lingers, searching. "he is everywhere," she said. she marveled at the strange tug that kept her rooted above this patch of earth. she sent her servant showers to find land and remind him of the questions still due her.

thunder saw showers sent away and realized why sky first refused to pass over this earth. he looked over their next patch of land, and called sky from there. and kept calling, irritated-calling, jealously calling, angry-calling. sky folded her questions and sent the obligatory final gusts. she's returned after several cycles - earth remained hidden. she called to showers and left her last rains. she flew to thunder, assuring him with lightning.
