I love the weather! It is absolutely perfect. It was rainy when I got up this morning (at 6:30… bleh) so I got to wear my lime green rain coat and carry an umbrella. Usually I don’t think about preparing for weather so I was super excited. (Like I said in the beginning, I get excited by little things.) Luckily, I wore my hair up — it was windy yesterday. I find wind completely invigorating. Yes, I makes doing statics homework outside the commons rather difficult, but I still love it. It makes me feel so alive. You can actually FEEL every part of your body. Wind makes me so aware of exisitence. This all probably sounds completely ridiculous… but I swear I’m not competely nuts.
All day I spent dancing around and singing. When my friend Carl and I were walking to and from our discussions yesterday, I just couldn’t resist. Being outside validates my life. It’s glorious! (I really like the word glorious if you couldn’t tell…) Some of the gusts today were so strong that you had to lean into them to walk straight. My balance got really thrown off when they stopped. I can’t get the wind out of my mind, and since I’m inside I’ll list some of the reasons I like the wind.
Wind:
1. Is emotional. It can whip and gust or softly breeze.
2. Is invigorating.
3. Makes you more aware of existence.
4. Can be harvested as a renewable source of energy 
5. Kites. Enough said.
6. Is fun to walk in… gusts and all.
7. Makes me happy. (That’s good, right?)
8. Inspires creativity, for me at leaast.
9. Reminds me of the beach without forcing me to apply sunblock. (I burn.)
10. Makes everything whimsical and slightly better.
I’ll stop at 10 though I’m sure I could continue. I understand that not everyone likes the wind… sorry to anyone who’s reading this and doesn’t like wind. After all, Robyn and Abby don’t like the wind. I certainly don’t get it… I hope it stays this way for a while. However, I promise if it does I will not only write about the wind. No matter how much I want to.
