And a good lesson that I need to start saying no to things I don’t want. I went out to a lake to do some barbequing with my ex, which was nice. But soon after we arrived, we heard thunder at a distance. I don’t like being outdoors during thunder and lightening, it’s quite scary. So I said maybe we just have to pack up and go back soon, we’re going to have rain and thunder. But he said “no,no, why are you so pessimistic, it won’t come here” and insisted we should stay and eat there. With the result of course that we had to run back to the car for 15 minutes in pouring, freezing rain, with thunder and lightening all around us.

Then just after we got back to the car and started driving, ligthening actually struck just a couple of meters from the car. I know cars are among the safest places to be during lightening because of the rubber weels, so it probably wasn’t really that dangerous. But still, it was seriously scary! I’ve never seen lightening strike right next to me before, that is a scary force.

Then of course, I remembered I had left all my windows open, it was sunny and very warm when I left the house. And when I went back, there was a serious flood in my kitchen. Sigh.
That was some weather change, we’ve had a serious heatwave for 2 weeks, nothing but sun, and all of a sudden it changed, and they say lightening struck 2000 times in Oslo in less than an hour.

I can’t believe I let my ex talk me into staying though. When dark clouds are building up all over and you can hear thunder coming closer, there will be thunder and rain. But he had gone through the trouble of buying food and things for the barbeque and I didn’t want to disappoint him I guess. Next time, I’m definitely leaving no matter what.

I went to a convenience store today to pick up chocolate for my co-worker and Dr. Pepper for me. I tucked the can of soda under my arm because my hands were full. Then I paid for the chocolate, but completely forgot about the soda. As I started to walk away, the clerk said, “What’s that?” I was like, “Huh?” A second later, I realized what she meant and promptly paid for the Dr. Pepper, though I bet she probably thought I was trying to shoplift. It costed about $0.90, so I handed her the Korean version of a dollar and headed out the door. She started screaming at me to come back for my change, but I refused and hightailed it out of there. I’m not yet broke enough to care about giving you an extra ten cents, lady! Leave me alone. I won’t be visiting that store for awhile. :-P

Tonight when I got off at my bus stop after work, I realized that a Korean guy I went on one short date with (and never contacted again) was standing next to me. He recognized me and seemed very eager to talk. Damn… It was one of those situations where you’d like to sprint away and never look back, but I was stuck. We had to wait at a traffic light for a minute. Then I had to walk beside him for a few minutes because we live in the same general direction. I told him that I lost my phone, which isn’t a lie. I did. I just never made an effort to call him after I got a new phone! Also, he asked me why I was walking so fast. Gee, you really don’t know why? I was afraid he would follow me to my building, but he stopped at my street, thank goodness.

Then- SHAZAM! Lightning bolts! KARMA! BAM! I caught a glimpse of a guy out of the corner of my eye as I bid the other dude goodbye. Who should it be but the jerk face who led me on and all but begged me to date him (holding my hand, rubbing my leg, two kisses, playing with my hair…) on Sunday night and then never called me back this week. He definitely saw me and probably noticed me talking with the other guy. I honestly don’t know who spoke first, but I heard him yell, “What’s up?” without slowing down. I replied (more out of instinct than actually wanting to talk), “Not much. How are you?” before speeding to my building. HIS LOSS.

So, I had some wonderful trips to Awkward City today, but that’s what makes life great. :-D
