I can show you the world, Shining, shimmering, splendid..

So it has been a hot couple of weeks indeed and what a way to trump the dehydrated public with a few bath tubs of rain. I personally enjoy the rain very much as it's soothing, refreshing, (insert synonym here, here and here). Loveliest of all though, it just smells so.... nice. As if for a brief moment nature is actually pure; untainted by man. It feels like your skin is taking a breath of fresh air - like the first breath you take when you step outside at 5am in the morning during the peak of winter!

Rain creates such a romantic atmosphere. Not just the two-way, lovey dovey one (though I wouldn't mind crossing that off my list) but also the romance that you feel on your own as if you have the whole world to yourself where your shoulders are so light they could float (okay, funny image in my head). So how did I take advantage of this perfect opportunity? I danced. In actuality, I was just trying to move my body, dancing is a little out of my league. Regardless! The rain was dropping at perfect velocity - not too strongly, not to weakly, just perfect :) It has to be on the golden list of best feelings one could ever experience (by far) - maybe somewhere near the rush of blood filling your arm again after realizing you've deprived it for a good hour or so. No actually I'd say it's somewhere near the feeling of finally getting to pee after trying to keep it in for Jesus knows how long. Softer than the feeling of adrenalin. But anyway, if you haven't tried it I advise you do. It's just something that everyone should try at least once, life's too short! Embrace the rain! Hallelujah! Lol. I guess the best word to describe the feeling would be 'alive'. You feel solid which realizes your existence making you feel alive and living. Something like that. And of course it's just pure fun.

It's not as cold as you would think either but I reckon the coldness adds to the fun. After all, who wouldn't eat ice cream because it was winter? It's also good practice if ever your hot water system stops working and you are forced to take cold showers for a good fortnight.

I also had a very good time singing along to hit 90s tracks with J, S & T. Music from the 90s was the shit. Can't say the same for fashion though. Shame. Such a great era of music curtained with such bad dress sense. Double denim, over sized shirts, dark lipstick, middle parted hair... just to name a few. Minimalism they called it. Ah, childhood. I remember thinking I was way cool with my denim jacket. Ironically enough it was also a decade of supermodels. I remember the ice cream commercial (I think it was ice cream) where Cindy Crawford found it so tasty, she accidentally licked her mole off. That was a brief moment of my life where I thought 'Eww, but maybe I can try too!'. Can't wait for the 90s fashion revival when I'm 50 lol. Not really actually, there are only so many times you can revive an era, shouldn't waste it with the 90s. Oh but the music was so good! Oh and the Disney movies! Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, Mulan, man how time flies! I'm glad I grew up in the 90s :D

Oh aren't I full of glee today.
