rain rain go away

it's a shame that i can be so wishy washy on my feelings about rain. sometimes i say that i LOVE the rain and its tranquil qualities when other times i mumble obscenities as i run like a girl from my car to where ever i have to go being drenched without an umbrella.

i'm never EVER prepared for the rain it seems. i think maybe if the weather forecast was a little more theatrical i might take it more seriously. if instead of saying "severe thunderstorms with high winds" weathermen would only say things like "severe thunderstorms with rip your face off wind speeds" i'd probably prepare myself more adequately. i have said before that maybe instead of naming hurricanes things like Katrina (though that sounds like a girl that could beat me up) we should go with a scarier approach like Charles Manson. ? I know the first hurricane of this season is named Alex.... really people?? I'm pretty sure if I saw a weather forecast that said something like "Hannibal Lecter is now only 40 miles off the coast of Florida traveling at rip your face off speeds".... I would take this more seriously....

that's my weather rant for now.

cheers!
