Imagine if this was snow.

Despite the basement flooding (again) and dangerous driving conditions, I must say I've rather enjoyed the rain this weekend. It's been quite a while since we've had such a wet spell. It's certainly rained and drizzled, but there was some serious downpouring today.

I love the smell of rain. I can actually smell it through the vents in my air conditioner right now. I stepped out of the garage while it was coming down pretty hard earlier and just stood there a while, getting soaked. The raindrops were big enough to almost hurt at that speed - almost. And they tasted oddly sweet.

Changing Kaiju's Motto

I really wanted to write a long entry about how incredibly amazing, warm and loved I feel after all of yesterday... But I've been sitting here deliberating over which words to use, and none of them come even close to what I want to express. I'm beginning to think it's actually impossible at this point in time, and I can't remember the last instance of this I've run into. I'm normally pretty eloquent.

Suffice it to say that my family is epic. And more importantly, your heartbeat is my favorite sound in the world, and being too far away to hear it is difficult.

Only good for time and a half?

I realized I don't really like Sunday nights at all. Unless I have plans and things aren't ordinary, they're really sort of a downer.

I start to dread Monday even though my classes are great just because it's been so long since I've been in them. I was having such a good day today I nearly forgot that it was Monday. They used to suck so bad in past school years.

Sundays are also when I realize how far away my Fridays are. Friday nights have been increasingly awesome since school started, and I'm usually still basking in said awesome during all of Saturday.

On a completely unrelated note, I wish that Best Buy's Rockband set didn't have to be broken.

I really enjoy rediscovering songs that I haven't heard in ages - months, in this case. I impressed myself by singing along and missing only one line. It's sort of funny how some things just never leave your mind despite how much other stuff you try to cram into it.

And here we go!

High hopes for this semester.


I has them!
