April Showers . . .

. . . bring worms. A lady in church said that on Sabbath and I thought it was kinda funny, but it's true. Grand Forks was very wormy yesterday. I walked to and from class in the rain (a 22.5 minute walk) and the worms just grossed me out. They weren't the obese, almost look like snakes they're so long and fat worms that appear in Lincoln when it rains in the summer. These are just the spring wormlings that have just been born out of the ground. So most of them are still short and pretty skinny. But they are gross none the less. I found myself letting out murmers of disgust at every worm that I avoided stepping on. This was quite a few and a couple times I had to laugh at myself and imagine what someone passing me on the sidewalk might think. But I didn't have to worry because there wasn't many people out in the wormy rain. Oh sick. I'm glad it doesn't RAIN worms. That would be so much grosser. Yes, I just said grosser. It gives me the shivers just thinking about it. yuck. Today the sun is shining, but by 7:00 when I walk to class, I hear it's supposed to storm again. Joy. More worms.

What's wrong with Lincoln, and Union's campus in particular, that attracts so many worms? It really was disgusting, unnecessary and... well, so far I haven't noticed it anywhere else. So that's one plus about not being at Union. A small one, but one, nonetheless.

Well said. Where did those monsters come from?! They reminded me of Tremors. Ever see that movie? It's really stupid and it's about these huge worms that eat people. Dumb, but entertaining none the less.

Never seen it. From your description, no desire to see it. I don't like scary movies. Even if they're dumb. Like Anaconda. Things that eat people... not my kind of entertainment. Plus it sounds gross. Bleh.
