Snowflakes keep falling on my head
I love snow.
I love snow a lot.
My favorite Japanese word is 雪 (yuki), which means ’snow’. Same goes for my favorite Korean word, ‘nuhn’.
For some reason, I’ve always associated snow with good times and with being happy. Part of it might be because of how much fun I had on snow days when I was in elementary school. Part of it might be because I just like the way fresh snow looks on the ground and on buildings. I’m not one hundred percent sure.
But I really do love snow. When I hear that snow is on the way, I may complain (’bah, driving will suck’, etc.), but inside I’m thinking, “Yay! Snow! YAY SNOW!”
On the other hand, I hate rain. Hate it a lot. It always depresses me. Almost every time something really bad has happened to me, it’s been raining. And it makes most drivers in my area really stupid. It feels like they look up, see the rain, and go, “Oh my God, it’s raining, now I have to completely forget how to drive!”
I understand that rain is important, that it’s essential to the survival of our world. This is why I always yell at it in the same way: “Damn you, live giving water that falls from the sky.”

Nuhn. That is such a cool way to say snow. I’m sure the Eskimo language must have a cool word for snow, considering how many they have for it.
Can’t say that snow is the coolest thing for me, considering we haven’t seen it this year yet. And “storm” would be cool if ARASHI wasn’t also the name of an annoying Johnny’s-Jimusho boy band.

Jefurii: Yes, I would bet that at least one of the Eskimo words for snow is cool sounding. At least, I would hope so.
We had a small snowstorm on Sunday. Not enough to shut anything down, but it did cause delays.
No comment on anything Johnny’s related.
