Tornados reek havoc on our back porch!!







SO! 5 days ago a tornado hot our back yard! I think it was a small one... it didn't mess up alot of stuff but it picked up and smashed a few things and still manged to leave the flower pots sitting perfectly in a row. Interesting. Mom, Dad & Justin were home at the time. Mom said it sounded like a train... she just grabbed everyone and threw them in a closet and they waited about 10 minutes. That was it!I think we are all very lucky that either it was a very tiny tornado or it just missed the house... Actually that night I was out with some friends. I was on some back roads somewhere in Newton I think and the wind started going crazy and there were sheets of rain whipping around and all the sudden: hail. I was freaked out! All I could think was "Holy shit, I'm gonna turn this corner and drive right into a tornado and we're all going to die!" So I gripped the steering whell with both hands and halled ass. Adam was sitting in the back seat, nonchalant as usual. Mitch told me to slow down and I told him to kiss my ass, I was outrunning a tornado. Eventually we drove through, tornado free, and it's just a little intersting that at the exact same time I was having a panick attack in my car the rest of my immediate family was hiding in a closet. Thank God everyone is OK! This place is like tornado alley lately.

So this my very own introduction to blogging. I'm new at this so I have no idea what I'm doing. I've heard you can write about anything you want so I'll start with what I know. I know what's going on in my life right now so I guess I'll introduce you to me!
My name is Katherine Guinn. I live in Ozark, Alabama and it's a very sleepy place. I used to hate this place but after living here so long I think I'm finally getting used to it. Although it can suck to see someone you know every time you leave your house, it also makes you feel like you're not alone in the world. That's a good thing.
Nothing super fascinating is happening in my life right now. I just started seeing this great guy, I'm having some issues with a court case in Michigan, my mother is stressing me out, I'm trying to find a decent fucking job... OH this is something cool: My friend's sister is getting married and having a baby all at once! Instant family. I'm excited about that. Weddings rock and babies rock even more! I want to know if it's a girl or a boy? We shall see!
Something else interesting about Ozark: People keep killing each other. They say that crime is worse in bigger cities but I BET that if you looked at the number of crimes committed and the population of Chicago vs. Ozark, our percentage of crimes committed based on the population would be much higher. That make sense? Small towns make people crazy. They get bored and kill each other. That's that.
OK well this was supposed to be a rough draft just to figure out how to blog at all so that's it for now.
