How odd, it seems rain-related polls get more vote responses. I chose “Thunder does/a little, but lightning is beautiful!” because, truth be told, thunder does creep me out. Same goes for my dogs, the poor things. I do tell them that “God is just moving his furniture around again and there is nothing to be frightened of” :P

When I was in JHB, the thunder there was so loud I literally jumped each time there was a huge clap of it, and I was all alone in my guesthouse which made me even more jumpy.

New poll up of course. This time involving food. Let’s see if food is as popular as rain! Hehe.

Nice to know there are still some romantics out there. My choice is shown in bold (same with all polls), but Valentine’s Day isnt a huge deal for me. Moreso when I was in highschool and the school sent out roses from people who were secret admirers. Though it sucked not to be given a rose that someone bought for you haha. Such is the life of highschool.

I spent Valentine’s Day watching The Parlotone’s with my boyfriend and some family, but more on that in my next post. Thanks for voting! New poll: Are you happy with the way you look?

It appears only I voted this week. Ah well. Since Valentine’s Day is next on the agenda, the new poll asks: Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day.

I’m interested to hear any love-stories related to V-Day so please do share! Were you proposed to on V-day? Was your child, or you for that matter, born on V-Day? Or perhaps you have an embarressing story to share from school days? Whatever it is, if it’s V-Day related, I want to hear it!

Thanks for voting and thanks for the continued support!
