I'm only happy when it rains...

Everyone hides near the doors, stays inside... or when they get out, they sprint so they can stay as dry as possible. Not me. I love being out in the rain. While most people look at rainy days as dreary, standing out there when no one else wants to makes me feel completely alive. They skies are grey, but everything else is so vibrant. Every drop falling on my bare skin... even if hundreds at once, I hold each of them dear for that instant. I love how the rain will collect in my hair and stream down my face... or the way that it's dripping down onto my back even now. I smile when a single drop touches my lips - it always reminds me of a teardrop - and I slowly take it into my mouth and make it a part of me. I adore closing my eyes and facing upwards so I can revel in the storm. Even the air has a certain smell to it that I can't seem to get enough of.

And it gives me an excuse to take off my pants when I get inside.

Maybe I'm not ONLY happy when it rains... but, nevertheless, it's bliss.

I get looks from people in their cars when I'm out there. As they drive by, they stare at me as if I'm a mangled corpse - horrified, but unable to look away. Doesn't anyone else like the rain?

I wonder, sometimes.
 
Good call, Lav. *Nods.* Excellent song. Could be the topic for a very different thread altogether.

What are you kidding?

*Shrugs.* I can't help but wonder when it actually DOES rain. I know a lot of people who claim to, but then I see many of those same people sprinting to keep clear... or not going out at all. And once you get so many looks, you have to wonder.

I can honestly say..I am that freak who holds her face up to feel the falling rain. I am the one who walks soaked to the bone in it without an umbrella...I have been known to go out late at night and dance in the rain on a wild night. To sit under out on my covered porch and listen to its melody. Hences the name...Mistress of Rain...

It's good to hear there's someone else out there. Sadly, I don't get a name - just worried looks. *Chuckles.*

I'm sure I could think of a few Rain names for you...

Me too, I don't dislike the rain at all but I hate that gross smell we get sometimes just before a shower.

But should I be worried about your creativity? *Chuckles.*

I'm surprised that I hadn't noticed all of the rain references around your AV before.

Easy to not notice indeed. I blame my memory. The AV's etched in there permanently - words take a little more work. But I surely won't forget now.

Enjoy yourself.

Rain ...

I really don't mind the rain ... I love going out and sitting on my porch and watching the rain fall ...

Actually I love to go swimming when its raining, one summer we were on vacation on some island. The clubs had just closed and as we were walking back to our hotel it just started raining. It was a nice constant rain ... as we got to our hotel... they dared me to jump in the pool & I did ... we had so much fun that night. :)

But I must confess I don't like when it rains and there is severe lighting & thunder. I will get very scared when that happens.. I don't know why... :(
 
I've always loved storms, personally. My dad raised us that way. Hell, he'd take us outside all the time to WATCH storms. *Chuckles.* So, I'm fortunate enough to have no problem with 'em. Just a rather strange fascination.
 
I love rain!

And that smell before , of wet pavement and ozone. I once sat outside in an aluminum chair watching it rain and the thunder and lightning all around me. Then I realized...uh, maybe I should get inside unless aluminum is ok under a lightning sheet lol. What a dork I was! But hugging someone in the rain feels fabulous, and then peeling off the wet things. Hmmmmm has anyone been outside in the rain, nude? I'll bet that's wonderful too.
 
I'm sure I will be, sometime, when I'm somewhere less public and it's raining. *Grins.* I'm just now discovering my love for it.

I don't know ... storms scare me , I think its the lighting that scares me the most ...

I know this might sound silly but when there is a major storm and what not ... I tend to stay inside and not look outside or answer the phone.

I am scared when I am alone but if someone is with me during the storm I tend to be a little more calm. :)
 
That doesn't sound silly at all. I know a lot of people who are the exact same way, Aphrodisiac. The bonus is that it's fun to be the person who gets to stay with you. ;)
