Vehement

I love walking in the rain. It's cathartic. Today was awesome and weird. I had to go down to south campus to pay my rent which is ten minutes away from my apartment walking, and when I left here it was sunny and warm and I took my coat off and I thought that was cool. I went into the money building for twenty minutes paying my shit, and when I was leaving there was this huge crashing sound outside. It was so loud and I had no idea what it was, and this woman came running in the door holding a newspaper over her head and she tells me "it's mad out there." The noise was thunder and outside the sky is deep gray and it's windy and the rain is stinging and it's awesome. I put my hood on at first to be like everyone else but just said fuck it after I turned a corner and walked the rest of the way with brilliantly wet hair. I don't know. I just love it. Drops collecting and falling to hang out on the tip of your nose and you can just blow them off, and seeing things blurry because there are drops hanging to your eye lashes. And puddles are awesome when they're clear enough to be mirrors.

I don't leave when it's raining though. It's contradictory. If I see it outside I'm like "shit, I wouldn't want to be in that" or something else normal. I have to be surprised by it to enjoy it. It's fucked up.

Aoife was bugging me today and she didn't even really do anything. She and her friend Hazel kind of camped out in the kitchen all day which is fine, whatever. But they are so inconsiderate and self centered. I go in there and they're on the couches on their laptops singing--and Aoife thinks she's a way better singer than she is--and start making dinner. And two minutes later they get up and start making their dinner and are asking me to move every other second to get into their presses and shit. I don't know if this makes me a pushover, but I usually just wait for someone to move out of my way when I'm sharing kitchen space. Or any space really. It's worked out very well for the last three years. Patience. That's what it's about. They haven't it and they're making me lose it. They also had a Keisha song in one of their playlists and that pissed me off.
