the wind's making the water go everywhere; the lightning's flashing sporadically and the thunder is rumbling deep. the sky is a rich grey, and it's felt like it's nighttime ever since eleven this morning. there hasn't been any sunlight for two days now; the nights are getting balmy (thanks to the humidity) and the days are getting cold and damp. the wind likes to whistle every time i'm indoors, and it likes to whip umbrellas inside-out whenever i'm outside. there's been an almost constant misting of the city, like a fog's set in, but it's enveloped more than just the surrounding area -- you can't see anything past the bay, and the view of the foothills is obscured by this patch of low-lying clouds that are a little stubborn.

berkeley is still as beautiful as ever, despite the inclement weather.

flash of light. rumblerumblerumble.

there's something in me that wants to wear galoshes and a slicker, so that i can play in the puddles while it's raining. and then there's the old part of me that thinks it's silly for me to even think about this going on.

and even though berkeley still holds this special place in my heart, i can't help thinking that i need a break from it all. from classes and routines to balancing work schedules and dealing with problems of my own, i think i need to stop and take it easy. i'm sure i made people uncomfortable last night when i decided to alienate myself. and it doesn't warrant anything, even though i made some people feel like ass.

maybe i make people feel like ass when i feel like ass. because last night, i felt like ass, and i didn't bother caring about how other people felt since i was having such a horrible evening altogether. i wanted so badly to tell people to just shut the fuck up, or don't include me in this conversation, because i needed a break.

can you burn out in cold weather?
