May. 1st, 2007 10:13 pmIt's been raining for a few hours now.
After having grown up with the sound of tires on wet pavement, it's funny how it's both familiar and strange now.
The smell - that's something that will always have a specific kind of comfort. I can't tell you why. It just does.
I'm not sure how I feel right now. It's an odd mixture of - things I don't have words for.
It's like - melancholy, but not sad.
Wistful, I guess. Something like that.
This isn't the same kind of rain I'm familiar with from home. It's - well, there's more of it. The sound of fat drops smacking into puddles; I didn't hear so much of that in Seattle, where there was more of the constant but subtler rain. Here, it rains like it really means business. There, it rains as though there's no specific agenda; it's just always on the menu.
I think I'm a little homesick.
It just puts me in a different kind of headspace, hearing the rain.
:: sigh ::
Night, all.
