Rain.
Posted 28th July 2010. Filed under random, July 2010. 9 comments.
I love the rain, and I always have. People never seem to get why, so here are 5 random reasons.
-
I’m Scottish.
If you live in Scotland and hate the rain, you’re in for a pretty damn miserable life. -
It’s refreshing.
When it’s a warm summer’s day and it suddenly starts pouring(welcome to Scotland), it really cools you down. Because here 20 degrees celsius is boiling.
-
The smell.
Y’know during/after really heavy rain, there’s that clean, fresh smell in the air? Best smell ever. xD -
It’s pretty.
When you’re sitting inside looking at the rain outside your window, the wind blows it into pretty patterns.
-
It doesn’t burn you.
Enough said.

AHHH I LOVE THE RAIN AS WELL!!
I’d love to visit Scotland. I’m sure it’s just absolutely beautiful there & I love the rain. I guess I like how gloomy it is, but it’s tragically beautiful.
I absolutely agree.
Rain = beautiful & adored, at least on my end. My mom hates it, but I love all weather. Okay, not all like hurricanes, but yay for rain!

I love rain
it doesn’t rain enough in Australia D’:
I can smell rain hours before it actually rains. It’s a little talent I have.
20*C is BOILING?! It’s Winter here and it was 20* today!
I love the smell of rain
And I also love it when it’s raining while I’m lying in bed. Helps me sleep. It’s pretty.
I haven’t commented your site in aaages. Mainly coz I’ve disappeared from the net for several months :/

I don’t like the rain that much; I think I’d be pretty miserable if I lived in Scotland. I’ve got a friend who lives in England and she’s always describing it as “dreary”. I don’t know; I’d prefer the cold to the heat. It gets pretty warm in Australia especially in the summer.
20 degrees (C, right? :P) is still pretty cold for us here. I know with my friends from England they say it’s pretty warm. It’s funny how adjusted we are to our own weathers.
I think the smell of rain is pretty nice but then again, when the rain reflects my mood all too much, I get even more annoyed. I sort of have a love/hate relationship with rain. Most of me hates it because it’s inconvenient when I’m carrying stuff and I don’t want it to get wet. Otherwise I’d take a nice stroll through, you know?
I’m a cheapskate myself, haha. I think that most Asians are though. That’s a common stereotype as well. That’s interesting that you can return the bottle for money back… that doesn’t happen here at all. But I’d probably do the same haha.
I don’t see the point either. I rarely buy drinks so I carry a bottle of water around with me most of the time. I hate to spend money on drinks, unnecessarily. I’ve had Red Bull before but I’ve never bought any. The time I had it, they were giving out free samples on the street.
It is pretty crazy to charge to eat inside… it really doesn’t happen all that much here, so I was pretty surprised. It was some fancy cafe though.
You do! Atreyu are great, and if you like similar metal bands then I’m sure you’ll like them. My friend isn’t really into metal so didn’t like them… but they’ve got good songs. I don’t think I’ve listened to much of the old Bullet as much as the new, but I love Fever. I just fell in love with it as soon as I listened to it. Apparently Scream Aim Fire was pretty bad; most people seem to think that The Poison is the best.
That’s nasty.
I would hate a subject if I hated the teacher. My mum always tells me that if I don’t like a teacher, I will dislike the subject and hence fail. 
I like encouragement from a teacher… one of my friends said, “How awful does it feel when a teacher says ‘I’m disappointed in you’?” It’s so true.

Ahhhh I go online every morning on Twitter and check my email and other things. =_= It is such a nasty habit, I’ll admit. I wake up and straight away reach over to get my phone because I have internet on my phone.
I would definitely be able to live without the internet. I think it’s just a matter of getting used to it. I just feel so “unupdated” if I don’t check my email and things.

I love the rain too, so I totally agree with all of your reasons here
We don’t get a whole lot of rain here, but in summer there are a few storms. I love storms, apart from the fact I can’t use my laptop ’cause the wifi gets knocked about. I seriously love when it rains at school as well—it feels so cosy in the classroom, and you don’t feel like you’re wasting a lovely day.

I also like rain but mostly just in the summer because during fall and winter it tends to be freezing cold when it’s raining. But in the summer it’s lovely. I love taking walks when it’s raining, I love how fresh and natural everything smells, I love raindrops on my face and how the world glitters in all the rain drops when the sun comes out again.

I can’t stand fighting either but my friend told me that friends and family will always fight… and besides, it shows that nothing is perfect and that people can accept each others flaws.
My mum isn’t totally the opposite of me but we just disagree on so many things and it makes her mad. I can understand how you feel about your dad though. I wouldn’t say I’m close to him but we get along and sometimes we chat about a few common interests but usually we just sit at home doing our own thing when he’s at home and I’m at home too. If anything happens, my friends are the first people I tell.
Small things can change the course of events. I was actually one of the youngest people in my grade. My boyfriend repeated a grade, so it’s of scary knowing that we might not have met! I am so glad I made the decisions I made even though they weren’t always the best decisions.
It’s strange to think about, I agree. xD
