Nique's happy fun time thread ~ Super general discussion

Question: Another non-FFXIV related question, but I was wondering about opposites. What is one thing that you adore, but that you continuously encounter other people being unable to understand that you adore?

Rainy days.

I have always loved the rain, especially heavy rain. And the more thunder and lightning, the better. Ever since I was a little child, I have always loved sitting in the window and watching the rain. None of the other kids I hung with understood that one bit; they liked sunny weather more. My relatives were concerned when they saw me staring out the window or sitting on the patio when it rained and my mother even wondered if I was sad. One time mom asked me about it, and I told her I just love the rain. She never worried about it again after that, understanding it was just "one of my quirks".

Rainy days are far more awesome to me than sunny days. I love the way the wind smells when it is about to rain, how the air gets a cool touch to it. Even today, I open my screen door, get my tablet, and write fanfiction while it rains and I watch. And if it's hard rain, and the wind is blowing hard and it's storming, all the better! Who needs the sun? Let the water fall from the heavens! A rainy day is a good day, in my opinion.



Glorious!

This pretty much, whenever I get word of a large storm headed my way it brightens up my day. I would always go outside and just stand there and take it all in. Rain, thunder, lightning and the clouds themselves are all awesome!

Another is noise, I like any and all ambient noises. In my head all these noises combine into a beautiful symphony of sounds but to everyone I tell this to they think i'm some kinda special needs person. ;_;

When I was younger I'd sneak out the house late at night and walk to the freeway 2 blocks from my house, I'd sit on the guard rail overlooking the freeway as I closed my eyes and listened to the different sounds of all the passing vehiclles, the occasional train in the distance, the wind calmly brushing through the tree leaves and the numorous gunshots in the neighborhood (I lived in Detroit, sue me ; .

Doesn't help that my sense of hearing is pretty good so I can hear most of that from my house but it's so much better up close (minus the gunshots :x)
