raindrops tapping on the window

[scottobear]

I'm sitting here writing perl code and looking out of the window. The whole sky is this dull, uniform grey, it's raining, and I'm thinking "wow. Rain is bizarre. Seriously! It's stuff falling from the sky. If it were anything else except for water falling, there'd be mass panic. I mean, to get up into the sky, you need a big honking plane or a helicopter or something. It takes effort. It took humanity a few thousand years to get from 'ug, sky big' to balloons, and then another few centuries to planes. It takes work to get up there. Anything in the sky is serious stuff.

Apart from a lot of water, which we accept with complete equanimity."

Now this wet, thick air is moving in over the city... enveloping the entire town in a wet, thick embrace, and mist is condensing on the outside of my window, since it's maybe 10 degrees cooler inside than out. It's a day which makes me pine for bed, the comfort of my love's arms, soft talk and easy sleep.

Side note. When I was 13, my age *was* my shoe size.

"Turkey Little" might be a very short book.

Hee. Loverly : )

Feel free to act your shoe size any old time.

What is "the twirl," anyway?

the twirl? it's sort of like the frug, but with more pep than the mashed potato.

I'm glad it's just water falling from the sky and not something icky-fied. :}

My word, those are some big feet for a 13-year-old! =) You obviously had your growth spurt early!
