<p>i was just going to go out, but our power flashed on and off a few times so i am staying in. It's on now, but dammmmmm it's raining here in northern NJ. How about you guys?</p>
<p>It’s raining heeree! 
and I love it! I hadn’t seen rain in forever! just snow :b</p>
<p>Raining here too with crazy winds. Power flickering on and off, so can’t do much, bummer. Streets blocked by a fallen tree too…</p>
<p>Lol, I went running around my neighborhood in the rain earlier today. I literally dodged a small, falling branch; it was awesome. </p>
<p>The power flickered a couple of times, but i’ve got friends telling me the powers been out for over an hour and that their basement’s flooded.</p>
<p>not raining here.</p>
<p>
The power went out at ballet on Thursday! It was pitch black in our huge studio, and our teacher, Steve, shouted “Yeah!” which was terrifying. The emergency lights came on, but the music wouldn’t work, so rehearsals were canceled. We started to go home, and were sitting talking on the benches in the front when the fire alarm started going off. I saw the fire truck coming in when my mother was driving me out.</p>
<p>But since last September, when the power went out for 6 days, I don’t worry about outages.</p>
<p>That was on account of the rain. So it has been raining, on and off, for 3 days. On Friday, I had to run in a shower cap from the hair dresser’s to my mother’s car. I must have looked hilarious.</p>
<p>hehe, steve the ballet teacher? the weather has been really foggy here, which is unusual, but no rain. you poor east coasters have really been hit hard this year!</p>
<p>It’s raining here too.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t understand… why did you have to run outside? o.O</p>
<p>Oh and yes, raining here since Friday. It sucked today when I had deliveries outside all day :(</p>
<p>LOL yes. It was raining really hard. Not ideal, when you just came out of the SAT, and looking for your ride haha.</p>
<p>@Tres Elefantes: Yes, one, no, actually, two, of my ballet teachers are men. And they are both married! To women! Whom they do not think are untwinking stars! (Like Nijinsky thought of his wife.)</p>
<p>@Romani: Well, I was in the hair dresser’s. Then, she finished. My mother paid her. We raced to the car to spend less time in the rain. I don’t get the confusion. o_O</p>
<p>hehe, well i just found steve an unlikely name for a ballet teacher. :p</p>
<p>@Millancad, I don’t know. I didn’t know people wore shower caps over hair that they just did (seems to defeat the purpose I guess).</p>
<p>@ Tres Elefantes: Lol. He’s Belgian, so maybe it is a normal name for a ballet teacher there. </p>
<p>Steve: <a href=“http://www.lejeuneballetnational.com/images/steve_s_headshot.jpg[/url]”>http://www.lejeuneballetnational.com/images/steve_s_headshot.jpg</a> (he no longer has the goatee)</p>

<p>@ Romani: It might depend on what kind of hair people have. In general, if you’re black, water effs up your hair. I don’t normally wear a shower cap in the rain, but when I have just spent 5 hours at the hair dresser, having my scalp covered in chemicals about which I would freak out elsewhere on my body, grunting and sweating under a (weary life) blow dryer, when my hair dresser offers the shower cap for extra protection, and when my mother insists, I willingly accept.</p>
<p>Ah, I was just picturing you getting it done for like a dance competition or something and then throwing a cap over lol.</p>
