rain rain go away

it started raining on my way to work this morning. i would have taken the bus or the subway if it was raining when i stepped out of my building, but i was already halfway to work and had my umbrella, so i decided to walk the whole way. then it started crazy raining. by the time i got to work, my pants were wet up to the knees! good thing i was wearing black and you couldn't really tell. i saw someone wearing white pants, and pitied her for her mistake.

if the store was opened, i would have bought a new pair of pants to let the other ones dry. but it wasn't opened yet, and my friend said i didn't need to buy a new pair of pants. damn her voice of reason!

my pants dried in a little over an hour. but the next time something like that happens, i'm going into one of the sample rooms and putting on a pair of pants from there!

and i hate holding an umbrella. moreso for the reason that i hate fighting against the wind and looking like an idiot when my umbrella flips. maybe i can't live in vancouver if i hate the rain so much. but ideally, i'd have a car by then, so it wouldn't be as bad?

  • isn't vancouver rain mostly straight down rain opposed to windy rain?

  • i'm not sure, but either way, i hear it can get pretty depressing. but when the sun starts shining, it's the best place in the world.

  • You need one of those mushroom umbrellas,the ones that couldn't possibly flip because it drapes way down to your elbows...at least. Get a clear one, so everyone can see you laughing at everyone else without an umbrella.
