Rain on Your Picnic

Here's some hard facts I learnt about rain today:

1. It's not nearly as romantic as they pretend it is in the movies

2. The resulting deluge totally messes up your newly styled hair and all the gunk the hairdresser dumped on it (I probably shouldnt have asked for all that extra gel) ends up on the new dress you are wearing, and now

3. You have to find a suitably acceptable excuse so your sister, who is the owner of said new dress, doesn't smother you in your sleep with her fuzzy pink lucky pillow for ruining her dress

4. You can't go to the party now that you resemble a ruined cheap watercolour drawing made by a kindergartener with a questionable penchant for mobid colours, and consequently

5. You've lost your only chance of getting introduced, at the party you've equally lost your chance of attending, to the cute guy from the corner you've had a crush on forever

So yes, in my totally unbiased opinion, rain isn't all that it's being cracked up to be
