Do you love the rain?

xpost good cause that means i won't have to

1. Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
2. Morphine - Like Swimming
3. Explosions In the Sky - The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place
4. Lovage: Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By
5. Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See

except when it's evaporated piss from all the sidewalks in NYC coupled with emission residue from every factory from here to Omaha.

You need to seek out Flying Saucer Attack - "Further"

correct. unless it's drizzling. that's nice.

People run into shelters and wave umbrellas about the place like the water's going to kill them, or the ecosystem has a vendetta against them or something.

What I really dislike is warm sun right after a good rainstorm, esp. in the summer, so that all the lawns and roads start to steam and the air is chokingly humid. blech.

If I'd discovered twee music in high school, I would have been so damn twee, listening to The Sundays while looking at the rain, but instead I listened to shoegazer bands, Portishead and Joni Mitchell, which is pretty good in retrospect.

doesn't happen a lot though :(

I do like really really heavy rain though, when it comes down in sheets and the drains can't cope and everyone gapes from their windows. Mostly we just get regular rain though, with occasional drizzle and the odd shower. Interspersed with smir.

Smir, is anyone outside my family familiar with that word?

rainnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn forever pls

those look like some big bottom clouds over ldn

I didn't quite get the rain I was expecting, it went westerly but it still looked very nice.

oh fuck dropbox it was a good pic that!

had a nice walk home thru Wagnerian skies, a flurry of light hail as i left work followed by intermittent brightness and dark spray

on Saturday evening i spent the absolute best 20 minutes sat with Han by the big fountain in town as the sky darkened and the wind kept swinging the spray around us

cumulonimbus is the ultimate big bottom cloud

this day is beyond

love rain, love cloudy days. think i need to move to the cascades or northern europe.

Beautiful, rainy day here in Seattle.

raining so hard in hilo the lines on the roads have completely disappeared. keeps you on yr toes

but yes it is my favorite. we had something like a drought last summer -- hard blue skies for weeks -- and i started telling people i had seasonal affective disorder

ha yes, i sometimes feel i have "reverse" seasonal affective disorder. not a huge fan of the cold, however.

my position's always been that cold's preferable to heat cuz you can always put on another layer but the reverse isn't true -- but this is just bias because i have extensive experience with steaming jungles and none with, like, minnesota, where i'm sure there wouldn't be enough layers in the world for me

i can kind of get into intense dry heat, it makes me feel alive and present and more connected with the cosmos or something.

Cold+rainy no, likewise having to sit at work in wet clothing. Otherwise love it, especially in the warm summer while pleasantly buzzed.

a consequence of rain is greenery and clean air

i like

good grass means good milk

cold's preferable to heat cuz you can always put on another layer but the reverse isn't true

^^^

xp also rain during allergy season means fewer allergy symptoms.

true

luv rain

hail mt rain...ier

Rave on Jackson Browne (you love the thunder, you love the rain)

Rave on Eddie Rabbit

Ill take extreme heat bc you can run around almost naked and pour water all over yourself in necessary

always good social etiquette to run around scantily clad pouring water all over yourself while you wait to be seated at your favourite restaurant

I think I'd lose my job if I tried that at work.

Need a new job imo

an inch an hour last night. fuck yeahhhhhhh

I can't say my relationship with rain is a deeply-smitten love affair. I would say I am very comfortable with it. We're old acquaintances.

"acquaintances" is a good word for what oregon calls rain. here it fucks torridly

rain where art thou

i miss the rain. a day and a half and it's over.

do love the sound of cars driving through rain

we had some rain on saturday & it was the BEST

i want more

ahaha more rain expected this week hooray

it is nice and dark/cloudy right now

Saturday night we had some monstrous rainfall, had to get out of bed and check outside because it sounded so great.

I really love getting soaked on the way to work and then sitting for a whole morning with trousers that are absolutely wringing/heavy and chafing. It's a rare delight. I also love standing at a bus stop that doesn't have a shelter in the rain for half an hour in Glasgow in December and subsequently having a bout of asthma that keeps me up half the night. Also I love being splashed by cars that have driven through a large puddle that was caused by rain, staining my newly dry-cleaned trousers.

Fuck is wrong with you people?

gah lol you are correct, i don't know why i was reviving some posi rain thread

i do agree that getting heavily rained on is no good. but that feeling when you come home and get dry/warm it rather heavenly.

sometimes i think the best is a light misting.. by the sea.. that's good stuff

wait i DO know why i was reviving some posi thread... because of the opening post.. oh well whatever *raindance*

I've converted this to an mp3 and play this when I've trouble sleeping. There's something intensely soporific and comforting about the sound of rain on a car roof.

love the rain. last week i was on vacay in Portland and it was so nice just like living inside of a cloud.

I loved the rain yesterday because some jackass had had themselves a great time recreationally spraying a fire extinguisher all over the sidewalk in front of the building, leaving behind drifts of dubious yellow powder, and the rain washed it away.

yeah lurv the rain on a roof. Also the sound of rain dripping through leaves, which I get to hear from my bedroom window a lot.

really shouldn't have worn white sneakers today
