Rain

I love the rain!  Right now, I'm sitting outside (on the deck, so my laptop doesn't get rained on.) just watching the rain.  Watching isn't really the right word, though, because I'm not just using my eyes.  I'm smelling the rain, hearing the raindrops over my head, and, if it weren't for my laptop, I'd be out in the rain, getting wet, playing in the puddles.  I don't know what it is, but something about water just relaxes me, calms me down, and turns me back into a little kid, at the same time.  I get this feeling when I am by the ocean, a river, a creek, any body of water (not pools though.  They don't count, they're man-made.).  I don't know why, but I just love to be around water.

Is anyone else like this, or am I just the weird one ?

Alyssa, I love water too. I mean I love the sound, smell, sight, touch and even taste of water. Today, I was also enjoying the rain; there's something about the water trickling down from the heavens that takes my breath away. I know exactly what you mean. You know where I just LOVE to go; the beach. There every stress I have just melts away.

But I hate hate hate pools.
You know that already though. =P

The thing I miss most about the East Coast, besides my family, is the prospect of a summertime thunderstorm, as viewed from a screened-in porch.
