The best sound ever...

I love my music (in itunes), I love listening to a solo clarinet or one doing a solo part in a bigger group, I love the sound of oboes and violins, I love the sound of my nieces and nephews laughing and giggling, I love the sound of some of my closest friends voices when I haven't spoken to them in ages, I love the sound of people speaking pigin, and I love silence - when you literally can not hear a noise. But the best sound ever has to be the sound of rain. I was watching a movie earlier, and I heard this wierd noise outside, something i hadn't heard in a long time, it sounded like something was gently hitting the roof and the concrete out the back. I didn't dare dream that it could be the one thing that I have been hoping for so much. Then when the movie was over and after the sound had come and gone a few times I stepped outside and there it was, joy oh joy, seriously, this was bliss for me! RAIN! It is magnificent. Since I have been able to hear it ongoing light fall for the last couple of hours and each time I listen for it I get excited again. If I weren't having a brilliant hair day (my hair didn't kink over last night at all! after my crappy straightening effort yesterday) then I would be out there standing in it soaking it up.

it's not just all the talk of the major drought we are in, but it's the fact that it's constantly dry... Having lived in Melbourne i'm so used to 4 seasons in one day, but that hasn't happened, i check the weather report regularly out of hope that it will say rain, and often it does so I dress a little warmer and am so disappointed when i step outside and am flooded by the light and warmth of the sun beating down on us... again.

I want to record the sound of the rain, maybe even bottle some of it, so when i start getting depressed about not having any i can make myself feel alot better.

It's quite a strange difference to reading Brown's blog and hearing about how much she wants to the snow and slush to go away... how i crave for that!
