Ooh, I'm all four of these. Like, you know those nights where you have on-and-off showers, and you can see the sky open to the moon, but you can also see lightning race through billowy clouds in the distance? I love those.

Gorgeous words. :-D I'm all of them except the last one. No lightning for me, thanks. O_O
