Anyway this morning, I set out in search of my rain boots--which are a prized-possession of mine. They are simple black rain boots made by Ralph Lauren that my daddy bought me my 1st year at NC State. These are the boots I splash in rain puddles in.I knew with flash flood warnings all around town I could NOT go to school without them. I also realized I left my umbrella in the car. So I set outside into the monsoon of all monsoon to get my umbrella and boots [which I realized were in the trunk of my car]. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately for my neighbors, I had on some short-ass shorts and a white wife-beater. In a monsoon. Let's just say the neighbors got quite a "helllooooooo" this morning!
Anywho, I bring this all up to say that when I got back inside I was drenched with rain and FREEZING. It got me to thinking about all those "romantic" television/movies kisses and how after standing in the rain umbrella-less for like 5 minutes, I don't think rain kissing is so romantic.
I get that on-screen rain-kissing is supposed to be metaphoric--the rain representing a release of pent-up agression/sexual tension/unspoken feelings/etc. But I feel like in reality, while soaking wet the last thing I'd want to be doing is swapping spit. I dunno. Maybe its just me. All I know is after being in the rain today, I felt dirty and immediately hopped my ass into the shower. The rain definitely did not inspire me to wanna get frisky or finally confront my imaginary lover...But anyways, here's a look at some famous rain kissing scenes from the movies.
