Avoiding a Paper

I have a paper to write by tonight and like all other papers, i'm mentally distracting myself with the help of flickr, facebook, and now blogspot :P

It's raining today and not in the nice way. You probably know what i mean-
when the rain is pleasant, it's barely chilly out and the drops just fall from the sky with tiny little plops all around you. Everything looks weary and sad but yet still manages to reach a state of absolute peace. The sound of the rain drops hitting the surface of the earth is subtle enough for you to zone out but you don't really want to because it soothes your mind- it makes you forget everything but what your doing right then and there. Rain like that makes you want to stop for a moment and experience what you are doing in the now. If i had all the time in the world i think one thing i would do is sit on a bench in a park somewhere and, with my umbrella, just watch the rain fall. And no joke, not trying to be REAL real artsy or anything (though i would love to be seen as that one day :)...), but i think that that kind of noisy silence really does someone good. it's kind of similar to watching the waves on a beach; you hear the roar of the ocean but it still feels like your listening to absolutely nothing.

BUT i'm getting off track- anyway, like i said, today WASN'T that kind of rain, it was the other kind of rain. The rain that the universe sends when it wants to release its frustration on the world. That kind of rain sucks! cause your there with your ghetto, peace of crap, 5 dollar umbrella; a hood that's too small for your head and a jacket that's too thin for the wall of ice that's cutting through your exposed skin and then you know, that that day is going to be a crappy day. Yes! that was today and now i think i'm close to developing a cold!!! >.<
hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow becasue i have to work and i'm riding my friends bike to get there...

btw: i use 'universe' casually. it's not like i believe it but i think it's wrong to blame God for misfortunes in our lives, jokingly or not. I could go on a rant about that one and defend my position but i'm not up to it right now...

Some good things happened today though! first off, i wore my cardigan from American Apparel today and it's amamzing!!!! =D thank goodness i work at that store now because it's an amazing buy :P
(you all at home can get it here!!! http://store.americanapparel.net/rsad402.html#i )
trust me, it's worth it- it doesn't look that warm, i know, but it really is pretty thick for a cardigan- plus you can wear it with anything!!! =D
Second off, i found out that there is a proper Oriental food store close by me and i'm in the mood for mooncakes and pocky (yes, i know, it's past the mid-Autumn festival but hey! maybe there's some left still???)

well i better leave now and go to dinner (and not do that essay... :P)

Peacing it <3
