I do not love the rain. Maybe a couple of times a year.

It's stopped, and the sun is out again!

The rain went a little while ago. The thunder was exciting, though it is better when you're curled up on the sofa with someone else/a cat, instead of sat at a computer trying to concentrate on work.
I don't think I posted upthread, but I would have mentioned that my mum told me that when I was very little I used to dance around in thunderstorms wearing nothing but a pair of wellies. Erk!
― emil.y, Monday, 28 April 2008 14:38 (sixteen years ago) link
ha! i used to dance around in the cold at night wearing my pajamas
― Surmounter, Monday, 28 April 2008 14:39 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, probably. This is the first decent rain I've seen since probably August/September last year. Apart from a morning in December (where I got soaked ahead of the Xmas work party, THANK YOU) and an evening in February (where I got soaked at a Sonic Youth concert, THANK YOU), it's been bone dry.
The scary thing is that I'm used to it now...

Personally, I hope they start shipping parts of Australia off to Japan just like what happened in that classic Yahoo Serious film, Reckless Kelly.

The only reason I really enjoy rain is it means I don't have to worry about watering the oleanders outside for a few days.

i got soaked by the rain today on my bike but i still sort of love the rain

Supposed to have been a 90% chance of rain all week, and it was dripping this morning but now is disorientingly sunny. I do like the rain.

Amazing brief London rainstorm just now. It probably smells lovely outside.
― the pinefox, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:07 (sixteen years ago) link
There are lots of kinds of rain that I do not like, most of them involving me being caught outside and in danger of catching cold. Wet feet are the worst. But some rain is great:
1) a big Midwestern thunderstorm, putting on a big, loud, Wagnerian performance.
2) the mid-winter rain that washes away the dirty snow and makes room for fresh snow.
3) the hot summer afternoon rain that makes being outside tolerable again, however briefly.
4) the quiet spring rain that's perfect for opening the windows and putting "The Rain Song" by Zeppelin on the stereo.

i like a nice downpour. makes london look better and less disgusting and dirty.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:15 (sixteen years ago) link
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?

all I ask for is a day full of rain, the whole day dark and grey.
these flash storms are nice but they're over in like, 5 minutes. and it's still pretty light outside.

In this thread we tell the life sustaining compound that comprises 60% of our body mass to fuck off :p Just about to go out for a walk in the rain and it has allowed me to put off cutting the hedges and saves me the job of watering the grass seed I planted last week, yay rain!
