Oh I was supposed to go sleep like one hour ago. But I needed a respite.
Anyway, I was just about to go sleep at 0210 , when it started raining. Standing at the window feeling the cool night air blow at my face, seeing the rain cascade off the roof of the stolid clocktower below, illuminated by the spotlight of the tower (which also illuminated rain cascading off the block near it), I had the sudden urge to blog and I knew I'd never get to bed without writing this entry. (For the record I had already set away mode and muted the sound and visited the toilet)
Well, the rain made me feel. refreshed. Invigorated. Didnt cause a rush of memories, but it just strongly compelled me to write this.
Its 0216, and the rain is much lighter now. There was thunder earlier.
Edit (@1155): I saw flashes of lightning at 0240 through the bedroom window.
Anyway, there was something else I wanted to say. Actually wanted to blog later when I woke up before the rain started, but since I'm here...
Well in case nobody has noticed, people with vibrant characters more often than not cheer me up a little when they dont know I'm down. I dont know how true this is for other people. Please tag and let me know.
Well I'm willing to bet its true. If people have no inkling you're down (if its nothing very very serious), and they come along with their vibrant character, more often than not I think you'll be turning up the corners of your mouth.
Conversely, even if so-and-so with such a character comes along and knows you're down and tries to cheer you up, you'll most likely stay down.
Think about it this way: When you know that the other person knows your situation and is trying to cheer you up, you feel its drudgery, that the person's just trying to accomodate you, make you feel a little better.
Now if the person didnt know to begin with, there's a touch of innocence involved. A pure sense of innocence. Thinking about it now, I think its very charming (note: I am neither coherent nor thinking straight at this point in time, so I might disagree with myself 10 hours later), just like a fairy tale.
Yup. Just my $0.02
TO see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour...
-William Blake
