Rain rain rain

[hellison]

Why does nobody like the rain? And why do people get SO paranoid about getting wet? You won't melt!

I nearly missed my train home yesterday waiting for a friend who was so panicked about it raining she was faffing about for ages trying to find a brolly or a spare coat, finally found a rain coat and went out into what was basically a very light shower very firmly zipped in and hooded like she was about to face a monsoon.
I imagine part of it is linked to the current mania for poker straight hair, but that leads to another rant entirely ;p

Ok, constant dreary downpours are no fun, but am I really the only one who doesn't mind getting a bit damp?
I LIKE summer rain showers. Especially the really quick, heavy ones that come out of nowhere and disappear again. Plus jumping in puddles is great fun ;)

ION, from Neil Gaiman's blog - I've never had a stalker, I'm glad to say, and am very happy for it to stay like that. I know a handful of authors who have had stalkers or unhinged fans hiding in their attics or whatever, though, so I think I'm either very lucky, or more likely, that I just have very nice fans

I sense a vacancy just BEGGING to be filled. And he's bound to have lovely roomy attics, stuffed full of books and comics and stuff. Heaven.

You should always be on the lookout for alternative career oppurtunities!

I just love walking in the rain! While everyone else is faffing with brollies and lurking in doorways I am aout striding out and about.

This does have its drawbacks - this does not work in Vancouver on a seriously rainy day...just too much rain, even in the very sexy wet weather gear! That had me beat but did mean an enjoyable day in coffee shops cradling hot chocolate and daydreaming.

Mmmm, I know but he has NICE fans, remember! And you would spend far too much time rummaging and not enough doing the actual stalking :)

I am still stuck on the thought of goat merkins myself.......

I thought of you as soon as I read the entry. Not sure why ;-)

HA! I so agree. Do you mind if I share your attic space?

(and sorry for just jumping in your journal like this, but I followed your icon from his post :D)
