Yesterday was a long and tiring Wednesday. I started my day at 7am and ended at 6:30 pm. College sure is fun..in a weird way.

It became stormy towards the end of the day, and I had to seek shelter in the EGI building before heading off to PE class. I was with Anne, who was cuddling with her boyfriend next to me. So I preoccupied myself with the rain. I stared and stared at it... yeah, boredom.

My thoughts drifted to the countless raindrops that came splashing down on roofs, pavements and people's heads. I wondered if these are the same raindrops that came down in the year 1649. What was a rainy day like, say, in England, in the year 1649? I imagined dark, rainy days, light drizzles...I thought of what people were doing on a rainy day in 1649..One could be at home, writing letters to a loved one, another could be frantically grabbing the laundry left outside to dry and another could be facing a crowd of hundreds as they come to watch his execution. For some reason, it fascinated me.

I gave myself random dates and thought of what it would be like on a rainy day..It would definitely be different. On a rainy day like yesterday, people were just running for shelter and others were talking and smoking.

here's something i'd like to share with everyone:

The only people for me are the mad ones,
the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk,
mad to be saved, desirous of everything at
the same time, the ones who never yawn or
say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn,
burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles
exploding like spiders across the stars...

I really appreciate what you have to say on this funny enough. I don't think I could've worded it right to capture the same idea you did.

But I love the rain. I got into a conversation with the random "x" person working at coffee shop about how rain is an aphrodisiac for women. I have never noticed. But without a doubt it started after the first Spiderman came out...
So happy Rain Days. Soak it up while it's out there. wink.gif
