"So what? It's not like you're a sweater and you'll shrink if you get wet."
--A guy on Sproul Plaza to an umbrellaless girl
It's a heavy mist, a light drizzle at most... but it's one of the first rainy days of the season. I sat in the office for a while after class, with the lights out, and just watching the grey outside while I worked.
I don't have an umbrella today. My hair's gone curly. But I don't care... there's something about the start of the rain that makes me feel pensive, or maybe nostalgic.

"It's raining in Berkeley, baby,
But everything else is the same."

So, this is way after the fact, sorry. I absolutely love that song, though, so I had to commend you for the reference. I'm also in stitches over "Bob's Quick Guide to the Apostrophe". Great website you have here...

Did no one else get the Counting Crows reference? Or am I just stating the obvious? Funny, I stayed in Baltimore and it didn't rain once... Now it's stuck in my head. At least it's a great song kudos to the good taste in music (belting loudly so the office stares as usual) "The circus has fallen down on it's knees/ The big top is crumbling down..."

NO one in Vancouver would ever say that. We have respect for the rain and for our meltingness.

For a while now, I've wanted to answer the question, "Who are you looking for?" with "someone to play with in the warm summer rain" - except I really don't like rain all that much.

Let me guess, you've never seen "A Clockwork Orange," right?

There's something about rain, be it the first of the season or a warm/cool mist that makes me feel serene and ecstatic at once...No wonder he danced...

Rain cleanses the soul, but I'd still rather take a shower.....
