RAIN OTAKU

Sunny days suck, cloudy days are nice, rainy days are good so long as I don't have to be in it. Thunderstorms are a plus

Too bad this is the Pacific Northwest where rain is mild drizzle and thunderstorms are non-existent. Thunderstorms and heavy rain are one of the few reasons I miss the south.

I feel that way too. Although I'm not THAT shut-in rain always makes me feel relaxed, rain almost justifies (I know, I know, in my mind only) me not wanting to go out and "have fun and live life to its fullest". Its such a pretty sound... will be interesting to hear anon opinions on this...

RAlN OTAKU

>some people have told me this is unhealthy
Those people must be idiots.

Being addicted to rain is unhealthy? Oh shi-

I was primarily referring to the "keeping my room as dark as possible" part, which to me helps create the illusion that it's actually raining, Sunlight is distracting to me and makes me feel anxious sometimes even.

besides otaku I'm a relatively poor guy with a pc that barely turns on, and my roof is made of zinc. The noise rain makes in a tropical country such as mine varies from relaxing tapping to deafening static-like noises, like if someone was repeatedly pounding a door to open it. ... So I guess I have a mixed opinion on being shut in during rainy days.

It's always raining here. So much that the people outside never bother to use umbrellas.

I keep the curtains shut and the lights off. Peaceful and I don't have to pay for that electricity.

>and I'm even on anti-depressants

That's your problem. Anti-depressants are legal drugs that works for a limited period of time. After then, it stops working and it becomes the worse of your nightmares, because it does nothing to you, you want to leave it, but you can't because it would have the opposite effect on you.

i love the rain, it's one of the reasons i moved to seattle. it's a soothing sound which helps me sleep and keeps the allergens at bay. i have fond memories of rainy days growing up because they were the only time i didn't have people bugging me to go outside.

>working
>anti-depressants

Hello rain otaku! I'm a windy otaku. I love hight-wind weather. The threes are dancing, you can put rollerskaters on, stretch your arms out and drive around without moving yourself! Or fly a kite!

Don't take /jp/'s advice on anything. Especially not on medication.

Yeah man. The only drug that really works is weed. I don't need proof because it's common knowledge; only a complete retard/troll/sXe kid thinks otherwise.

>>7678633
I've been on dozens of anti-depressants and felt absolutely nothing. High doses, too. Just speaking from first-hand experience.

>>7678686
Because you're not suffering from anything.

Get your ass up and get to work.

I fucking love the rain.

dohohoho

We get about 8 inches per year of rain so when it does rain it feels special. All the better if it rains when it's not summer. A few days ago it rained and all the water was gone within an hour. It was so disappointing.

I know that feel, OP. The sound of the rain when I'm somewhere dry is one of my favorite things in life. It just makes the world feel less shitty somehow.

Fellow Seattlefag?

I don't like piddly rain. Cats and dogs or get the fuck out.

When it does pour down though, it's the best thing ever. I go running around outside, getting absolutely drenched. And I love it.

>>7678841
You have strong feelings about rain.

>rainymood running in the background
I googled it, that's kinda cool. Thanks OP.

I love rain but it never rains in South Texas

I love it when I'm inside, I dislike it when I'm outside. Thunder sucks because it's noisy.

>I don't like piddly rain. Cats and dogs or get the fuck out.
This. I love rain when the streets are pouring over from it. Drizzles or all that shit doesn't do anything for me.

I like light rain when I need to go out as it makes the streets less crowded. Bright sunny days make me just want to hide in my room all day.

I only like rain when I'm not it. Having to wear wet clothes is one of the most uncomfortable things for me.

I love rain in every form, whenever it rains I want to take long walks, have the whole city to myself.

zsfzasf lol

I love the rain, which is why I moved to Washington. Wish I was still there.

But tonight looks like it'll be a rainy one. One without power too, likely. The lightning has already started in earnest.

>Get your ass up and get to work.

Um.
No.

What does that picture have to do with this?

Sunny is nice. Balls-to-the-wall thunderstorms are fabulous. Rain is nice. It's grey, merely overcast skies that get me down.

>>7679202
I prefer the overcast days and hate the sunny ones.

I hate the heat, but I like sunny days.
Fucking summer

of all the places that i can find people to relate to i find it on 4chan... But yes i like shutting myself into a rainy atmosphere.

I don't really mind if it's sunny or rainy. But I live in colder climate so "lack of sun" is more normal for me than actually having sun. So "unusual thing" for me is when it's sunny. But still I feel better when sky is white.

I love the smell of the first few minutes of rain on the sidewalks so much. It's such a wonderful smell, and it's nothing like any other smell.

So good.

I fucking love the rain and thunder. Walking through a thunderstorm gives you a decent lightshow as well. People say that those who like rain are weird, sadistic people. That's kinda true for me and I would suggest enjoying your rain while spending some time out in the sun with your friends.
