Are you sure you're not my daughter??!! There's a few areas where we're a lot alike!

Oooohhhh! Vanilla Bean!! Real Vanilla Bean!!!! vanilla bean vanilla bean...whoah!

Looks like more rain today, will watch vampire and zombie movies while making horror dolls. "Horror of Dracula" is on the list, hammerfan, if you wanna come over. Also Fulci's ZOMBIE, for sure.

we've got sun (not that it does me much good in my cubicle) - and its melting away much of the snow - -- -can winter be winding down for the beleagured northeast?? (I doubt it -probably a few more frozen periods before the much awaited thaw) -- - but ice cream makes it all worthwhile!

As long as I'm back in time for my flight to England! I have Fulci's Zombi also.

Interesting topic. It's hard to imagine that though considering how SUNNY it is here. NOT a cloud in the sky. :p

Ditto, looks nice and calming, best of all, there's no sun.


I love the rain. If I'm not doing anything at the time I'll go out on the balcony, listen to some music and write.

I live in Minnesota so we get some really good storms in the spring (coming up soon!), summer and even in the fall sometimes. The one in the picture was actually in late summer/early fall, because there were some fallen leaves already that were blowin' around. I think I missed my calling, I should have been a meteorologist and a storm chaser on the side.

Ice Cream for a storm, either Rocky Road or Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia.

we don't get as much rain as I would love
in my part of new zealand..
But when it does ..'sigh'..along with a power cut...
my favourite time ever.
I lay on the bed with my husband and the kids drag small couches into our room and put thier feet up on the bed ..and we just talk..joke around..etc.
Its really nice. 'sigh'

Elvis has got it sweet where he is..
He gets snow..
would you believe 95% of new zealanders
have enver seen snow..other from what they have seen on t.v

The rain in itself is enough for me...I find it not so much a time of thought, as a time to clear ones mind, and become immersed in the sounds, smells and feeling of the weather.
I spend my first 5 years on a RAAF base, in the country...moderately sized house in a valley area with a tin roof...it rained a lot there, and it was amplified upon the roof, you wouldn't think so, but to this day I find no sound more relaxing.
Storms and rain, floods and lightening...things of my past that make me feel complete.

Considering my dad is the dickhead of the century, I would almost wish I was your daughter. I don't just mean he's grouchy or sometimes grumpy, I mean he is verbally (serious name calling), and emotionally abusive. Also he has threated to choke me, beat me with a pool stick and just general kick my ass. Yes I am almost 28yrs. old

No I'm not in a healthy situation. Quite the opposite. The only reason I stick around is because of my mum. She's the most awesome person in the world.
