Amendment
I've been known to go on about how much I love the rain... and I know it's always fun to make someone eat their words... But, come on. I get it. Rain is cold and wet and does nasty things to bare feet in canvas shoes. Allow me to re-phrase my pro-rain statement in an attempt to appease those kooky, crazy fates...
I love the rain when:
a) I have no place to go.
b) I have rainboots, a rain jacket and oh, I dunno... an umbrella
c) no one will see me. You see, my bangs make a curling beeline for the back of my head at the first sign of moisture
So, yeah. This morning I had to be somewhere and when I went to look for rain grea, I remembered that I don't have any. I had to head out in a knit cap, a leather bomber jacket and canvas slip ons. Things got so desperate that I actually went to the library and falsely claimed a lost umbrella. Yes, I lied to the nice librarians and vaguely described the make-believe black umbrella that I never left behind during the last time I didn't visit the library. I know, pathetic. But, I'm broke and my feet were really wet!
What have I done? Sweet Jesus what have I done? Become a thief in the night, become a dog on the run!

that last paragraph ... it sounds like the opening to a story or a poem.
here's a hint - jean valjean!
thanks for the hint, but I really wished it had been you who created it and not M. Hugo.
You wish I had created it or you wish Slush had created it? If you mean me, I wish I had too. I used to think it was Jean B-aljean instead V-aljean. I've never seen Les Miz nor have I read the book.
If Slush had created it she'd probably get that book deal a whole lot faster.
From one anon to another
Oh come on people! Leave your names! It's easy. See?
no no... umbrellas in this city is totally fair game. I've loved and lost. I've discovered the umbrella is a dog eat dog world so now I just look out for #1 ;)
yes the anon. factor is strange. I was under the impression that anonymous the second was, in fact, slush.
I have ammended my name to clarify things.
well, in reality - i can't exactly go around denouncing anonymity. without the ability to block my caller id, use various email accounts and multiple blogs - i'd likely never make a peep.
so, all you masked and cloaked individuals unite. unite and take over. very nice, very nice, very nice...
