Lol. One of those towns is REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY really REALLY close to mine. :D JOY. Haha, and I just got done telling Bloo how I've never seen a tornado in my life. Oooh, IRONY. My town wasn't mentioned there, so that's good. I think my mom just mis-heard the news. :) I hope I never really have to go through a tornado... I came really close to it, this one time though. The sky had turned like, GREEN and they held us after school and a bunch of other crap. I'd tell you more, but my grannma's yelling at me to watch Trading Spouses with her. :P She sure likes those reality shows...[/color]
