I don’t want to go. I have to walk through the disgusting rain. Why does Oregon mean 98 and humid or cold and rainy???
One gaurentee… there will be water included.

So the drain outside my window at my moms house never worked. Thankfully as it turns out now. Because it now works. This September my mom and step-dad added onto our garage and redid the entire roof. Oh, and fixed that flipping gutter! But, you say, this must be a good thing. The water can now properly drain off of the roof. You tell that to my lack of sleep. When it is pouring this is fine. It sounds a bit like a water feature outside my window. But when you get drizzle, which if you’ve never been to Pacific NW in the winter is the dominant weather, you hear “Drip… Drip… Drip… Drip…” I would never complain as much if this were a regular dripping, but it’s not. There may be a very short silence between two drips then a very long pause, in all irregular. Now try to lay in a silent room, have a hard time falling asleep in the first place and try to deal with it. Even when I’ve managed to fall asleep it is not very good quality. I love the rain. I hate my mother’s rain gutters!
Update at 1:32. Didn’t think it could get much worse. It did. The rain is now pouring. SIDEWAYS. Into the sides of the aluminum gutters. F*#%ing noise!

WE BEAT UofO!!! AT EUGENE!!! In double overtime! It was cool. I called Kristin and apparently demanded a ride (Thank you, Kristin! I love my favorite sister. “Your only sister!” she cries at me) . We did not watch the game. Well ok we turned it on and off and watched Elizabeth I with Helen Mirren and Nanny McPhee. Oh and the end of Bend it Like Beckham.
It is POURING. Tonight is supposed to be a big storm. 100 mph winds and all. My parking lot has flooded now. My apartment is flooded. On the way home the rain was half snow. It’s like 37, and there is a snow advisory for the coast range.
Rain and ID October 18, 2007

So I went over to Kristin’s where we watched some Grey’s and then headed to McMinamins. It was pouring down rain when we got there and 10:30… kinda forgot what time it was. We went in and sat down. Then the guy comes over and asks what we want. I ordered a diet coke and Kristin went to pull out her ID for the beer she was going to order. Well, she never got to order because he asked me for my ID. At which point we did this, “You forgot your id?” “Yeah.” “But we drove here!” “I know I just realized I left it at home” The waiter then asked if I had a passport or anything. “No, I don’t carry my passport with me.” Stupid place that has to become a bar at half friggin ten. So we had to leave. Because like it or not, I am 20 years 5 months and 20 days old. And that is too young to be coming back to the states after a year in England.
Other than that it is raining. We’re in the middle 3 storms. The first was a windy and earlier today. It missed us for the most part and hit Puget Sound. The second is here and is making very pretty rain to listen to. The third is right behind it. So I doubt I’ll see much of a break. My pretty plants are out getting water. I need to bring them back in before I go to bed.
