Gakked from [livejournal.com profile] gryphonrhi:

The problem with LJ: We all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious but you have no idea. Ask away.

Of course, I'll still subject those to the same two rules I have for people asking me questions face-to-face....

1) Make sure you actually want to know the answer, and
2) I reserve the right not to answer (downgraded from the original version of, "I reserve the right to tell you it's none of your damned business" ::G::)

Hmmmm... that one requires a multi-part answer, actually...

If it's a thunderstorm, I love to "ride" it, and soak up all the energy I can from the wind and the electricity.

If it's a warm spring/summer rain, go hiking in the woods, and listen to the droplets falling off the leaves.

If it's a cold, winter rain, curl up someplace warm with a hot drink and good company -- either friends and good conversation, or a favorite book... or a warm Gryphon! 8-)

Cool. I used to love thunderstorms like that. Lately they just make me jumpy. It might have to do with the fact that about the only time we get thunderstorms around here is when the weather is really bad. Like, we're under tornado watch, or some such.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Usually, when I start getting jumpy/irritable during stormy weather, it means I'm either trying to "hold on" too tightly, or trying too hard to "push the storm away"... but if I just relax and "ride" it, it's quite pleasant.

I've never surfed, or "really" flown (i.e. without the use of an airplane), but I've always compared those with what I do with thunderstorms -- if I try to fight against it, it's a huge effort, and at best I end up very tired. If I blend with it, it becomes a nice, pleasant, rejuvenating ride.

I'll have to try that. :) I never thought of it that way. Thanks!
