Mother Nature looks pissed as fuck. I saw all these cars and they were just merrily drifting down the flooded streets like boats. Like holy fuck guys, what'd you DO?

Like seriously what do you do.

What if you're in a car?

What if your car drifts away, can you go find it later?

Like what.

There was five feet of water on one road somewhere downtownish. Saw it on the news before work and wasn't paying attention. There were cars chilling in there.

What do you do tho.

Is it just like.

Oh yeah the cars are drifting down the street, I'll probably never see it again.

Or is there like a system where people try to get the cars back to their owners.

Of course you get your car back. The cars that are stalled on the roads get towed and there was a number on the news to call to figure out where it went.

That's amazing.

"Hey my car floated away. Is it with you?"

That would be horrible if it was your car, but imagining it is hilarious.

Haha yeah. But who really cares if your car floats away so long as you're not in it?

... I guess if you put it that way. xD

I mean, it might be a fun adventure and all, but yeah...

LOL I'd be too terrified. Just. "WHERE AM I GOING?"

Oh man, I was referring to the phone call to find the car. Floating away in your car is a much scarier proposition.

*sits smiling at the driving wheel and pretends to be in control as we all go floating down the road-river* Who wants to sing a car trip song~?

"Are we there yet? I'm booooooored."

That's not a song!

IT IS WHEN I SING IT. :D To the tune of Frere Jacques:
Are we there yet
Are we there yet
I am bored
I am bored
Tell me when we'll get there
Tell me when we'll get there
I am bored
I am bored

The driver can't say they'll "turn this car around if you don't behave" 'cause ya know...floating XD

Buahaha. But the driver can say they'll kick you out! Then you have to SWIM home!

But that song is cracking me up so bad.

I couldn't make it rhyme, but I like it. Now to go teach it to all the children whose parents I dislike....

Lol. It was still quite lovely. I feel sorry for those parents.

Ugh. If anyone's here, please chat with me and save me from the hell that is paper formatting.

Pfft. That doesn't sound fun at all.

It isn't. I don't have a problem with normal formatting styles (MLA, APA, etc.), but this is an organization-specific set of rules that are... really dumb. For instance, I have to remove all tabs, and replace them with three spaces at the start of each paragraph. Except for the first paragraph of every section; those aren't supposed to be indented at all. And primary headers are normal (bold, 12 pt times new roman, capitalized), but secondary headers are supposed to be lower case. That looked so unprofessional I removed all my secondary headers. Plus, instead of normal citation rules, I have to replace every citation in my entire paper with little superscript numbers. :/

Hey, you're just speaking greek to me here. I don't do paper writing at all.

what style is it Ashtara? or is for a very hyper-specific prof? or a journal?

I presented a paper at NCUR (natl conference of undergrad research), and they have an online journal that publishes the papers for people who made presentations. It's their guidelines.

@Kat - Haha, if you have specific questions about what I said, I can answer them.
