What the?! There is white stuff falling from the sky?! January 7, 2010

I live in a region where we do not get a lot snow. With this most delightful miserable cold wave (is that what the opposite of a heat wave is called?) we are getting snow today. I am still at home, I am the ultimate procrastinator, and have yet to return to school. Snow here is a big damn deal around here. The schools let out early today, and I am pretty sure the stores have all been out of bread since like Tuesday. Lucky for me, not everyone knows about the garbage, crumbly, fake bread I get to eat! Whoo hoo! At least Celiac’s is good for something! So yes, even on Tuesday, with the prediction that there may be snow coming, people freaked out and bought up all the bread and milk. So today, as I am driving to the house, my gas light came on. I stopped by a gas station close to my house, and it was packed! There were lines at each pump. Kroger was packed, and all the schools were getting released early.

This is supposed to be the “Bible Belt” and I am really confused as to why whenever it snows, the mass majority acts as if the world is about to end. I don’t know much about the Bible or anything, but I am pretty sure the apocalypse and snow are unrelated. But, I mean, I could be wrong. It is just that I am so rarely wrong. But seriously, the way people act and around and talk about snow here, you would seriously think that the world is about to end. Snow is like a natural disaster here. If there is a minuscule amount of snow on the side of the road, you best watch out for the all the other dumb ass drivers. I swear, just because there is a microscopic bit of snow on the road, these dumb asses decide that the entire road is iced and snowed over, and they will be going off the road. It is just a matter of time. So while trying to drive out in these apocalyptic conditions, you must pray and hope that one of these dumb shits does not decide to drive off the road while you are around them, because odds are they will take you off the road with them.

So now that the end of the world has officially begun, and will continue until the snow melts and passes us and people can wait until its next strike, I am stuck in my house. I would like to get out, but due to the sheer idiocy of those around me, I will be trapped in my house. It is pretty sad, I do not have to worry about the roads being too bad to get out, but the other drivers being to bad to even attempt getting on the roads with them. So it looks like it will be a little while longer until I can make my way back to school. I love it when I get to procrastinate and legitimately blame it on something else 😀
