So I was thinking of wearing my Pea Coat and Scarf O Doom to work today and decided against it because it was nice and sunny outside. So I walked my happy self to my bus stop and enjoyed the fresh air. Got on the bus and was instantly saddened because it smelled bad and there were gross people ridding. Made my way to my second bus and stood around for like 10 minutes. Lo and behold a thunderous roar errupted above my head and the skys darkend and a storm was upon me. I stood out in the rain like the wild child I am and smiled until my second bus picked me up. rode for about ten minutes in another smelly bus already missing the smell of fresh fallen rain upon the asphalt. That glorious smell of ozone and the tears of the gods. Got off the bus after about ten minutes and the bus driver looked at me and laughed because it was really coming down flash flood style and I had a fifteen minute walk in front of me. I laughed back because I got to be out in the rain while he was stuck in his filthy bus. I think I came out better in that battle even though it is now a half our later and I am at work looking like a drowned rat. My shoes squelch when I walk from being splashed by speeding cars but I dont mine. I love the rain. People asked me why I dont carry an umbrella and I told them as I tell everyone that umbrellas are for foreigners. Well I gots to get to work now just thought I'd post something happy!
