-- I'm soaked

I'm soaked

I had to take my car to the repair shop today and, when I was on my way to work, it rained... and I mean it. Despite the fact that the dry season was supposed to have started last week, it was the kind of storm that would drive Tubularbills _nuts_

But, bad puns aside, it was gold. I really love the rain and I feel so much better now... plus, the next rain will probably be around September, so I'd better enjoy these showers while I can.

Anyway, do you like the rain?Does it rain a lot where you live? Does that kind of thing make you feel more "alive"?

golden shower?

This just boggles my mind to no end. It rains/snows practically every week of the year here.

the weather around here hates me
its a curse, like seriously.

during the summer, i work as a lifeguard. therefore, if it rains/thunders etc we close the pool but stay there in case it clears up, so rain/thunder = get paid the same amount to do whatever the fuck i want, play board games and cards and shit or read or whatever. so during the summer, rain and thunder are amazing
aaaaaand, during the rest of the year I work delivery, so rain is a MAJOR pain in the ass. less so now that my car doesn't die when it rains, but still. tips are sometimes better, and it's guaranteed that me feet will be soaked through, not to mention that my eyes aren't great so driving in the rain at night's a pain

now, with that in mind. two summers ago, and the summer before that, i went the entire summer without it raining a single day while i was at work. and for one of the summers it rained or thundered all but ONE of my days off all summer and didn't thunder a single say i was at work
and i only work fridays during the school year since i got classes, and it rained or snowed...i think 9 fridays in a row. it wasn't particularly rainy the rest of the time, just EVERY fucking friday, shitty weather.

cor version: me and the weather ain't so tight

Driving in the rain +1
Sitting in the car listening to the rain hit the car +1
Breathing the cool air during rain +1

it's all good

driving in the rain eats a dick here because people are fucking dumb. as soon as the raindrops start falling my 40 minute drive home from work turns into at least an hour

PEEIN' YA PANTS IS COOL!

I love, love, love rain. I really don't think I could've picked a better place to live for it, either. Sure, constant rain is a common misconception, but it still rains more frequently than other places. Huge downpours are sweet, and (as weird as it'll sound) I love the smell when it starts to rain on hot, dry pavement.

Funny thing around here is, you appreciate a nice sunny day so much. I have a clear view of a good chunk of I-5 and on certain sunny days you can tell that everyone got off early because the traffic starts a couple hours early. I hate driving in the rain though. Nearly T'd a car that pulled out in front of me (on 145th, east of I-5) because the roads get so slick when they're wet. But... yeah, you don't take a sunny day for granted around here, it seems. It actually snowed last night, that was strange.

Yeah, when the weather is perfect during the summer, people don't stop talking about it. And what the hell, it snowed!? Christ on a bike.

Yeah dude. I was chillin', talking on the phone with a friend on tour in New York, then I looked outside and thought "crap, the rain is falling hella slow." Sure enough, it was snowing. Didn't stick, but it was slushy enough.

I actually haven't spent a full summer up here yet, so I'm looking forward to it this year. I hear the tourists get annoying though.

pics or it didn't happen

also, mezzir, the last summer here in shreveport i swear it must have thunderstormed almost every single day in may/june. but the storms were so completely isolated it would be one either the shreveport side or the bossier side of the red river...never both. but combined, between the two cities, everyday during may/june, it thunderstormed...and HARD.

Lira, i'm not technically "in the tropics" but fucking close enough. i've been in new orleans for those "tropical" thunderstorms. and holy shit they're amazing. its just amazing how much water comes out of the sky.

last summer my nieghborhood flooded...and i don't even live on a flood plain

Look it up! Isn't that what you DO?

There's supposed to be spots of snow from now through Sunday. What's with this super cold MFer coming through? Can't you like... turn it off or something? Don't tell me you can't do that shit, I know you can. Doppler nothin', that's what I say.

Psht, snow wins. Two Aprils ago it was sunny as hell and I had the windows in my car down. Woke up the next morning and there was a TON of snow. It was great. Never seen it snow that late in the year before.

Oh I'm down with snow, when it's real snow and it covers the ground and everything is super quiet. That's AWESOME. I just don't like the rain, then an hour of snow, them more rain thing. Bums me out.

If you like water that much, then jump in a friggin' lake so you get it all at once instead of a drop at a time...

i don't care if it rains or snows as long as I am indoors

And I don't care if the rain don't please us, long as I got my plastic Jesus sitting on the dashboard of my car...
