rating rain [sep 08 2003, 19:21]

when i woke up tonight, there was a strange sound slowly crawling through my ears into my very (sleepy) consciousness. it was about two in the morning (five more hours to sleep, yay) and after some deliberation i found out that it really was raining outside. not that tiny little bit of three or four raindrops that we had during the last weeks, er, months. real rain. lots of.
and when i fell back to sleep i knew that this would be a good day.
and despite all odds - it was!
yes, it was rainy and it remained rainy until, well, i don't really know when it stopped because i spent most of my time in the dv-cellar. as usual. not too enjoyable, you would think, but if there are nice people around that's no problem at all.
there was not much to do but still enough to do to prevent my weird self from feeling bored. nice.
i got off work more than half an hour early [quote: "e;there is nothing to do... why don't you two go home?"], jimmy eat world's clarity had obviously pushed away the rain and everything was good.
and despite all odds - it remained!
shortly after i came home and checked my mail i saw i had two new guestbook-entries. me! could you believe that? and if she would update her site or at least put the flaschenpost-button back on, everything would be fine ;o)
and now, after horribly long months, the summer is over. i have been to the sea, i enjoyed my holidays and that was all i could have asked from it.
frankly, i hate the summer. if it's cold, you put another coat on. but there is a certain limit of clothes you can take off in the summer. well, there are two limits, the physical and the social one... well...
and to make this day even less bad (and i know that tomorrow must be really bad because so much goodness is not really possible over a long period) i read an entry in someone's weblog that really expressed it:
jahreszeit komma lieblings bindestrich punkt
in feierlicher zeremonie (hintergrundmusik: backworld / geladene gäste: keine / gereichte getränke: kaffee) das dünnmaschige fliegengitter vom fenster entfernen und dabei den herbst für eröffnet erklären. ab sofort also endlich wieder echter nebel, kalte regennächte, dezentere farben tagsüber. es ist wieder nochdunkel, wenn ich ins bett gehe. mein ganz persönlicher frühling ist da.
yes.
finally.
everything.
thanks.
