Sydney Woman Copes With Second Week Of Rain By Romanticising It As ‘Twilight Weather’

HOAHOAHOAHOA: A Sydney woman has been forced to get a little bit creative this afternoon as she faces another week of depressing weather – doing nothing to help her mood or the growing black mould in her bedroom.

This comes as Sydneysiders can expect rain every day this week, and the start of the week.

Prior to this bout of non stop rain, Sydney usually just reserved its worst weather for the weekends, which isn’t a surprise given the harbour city isn’t very working class friendly.

As a self described ‘sun child’, this news has left Mia Bennett, 31, feeling understandably pretty bummed for the week ahead.

However if there’s one thing Mia is great at doing, courtesy of her mother, Lana Del Rey, it’s romanticising even the most very ordinary situations.

Which is why Sydney is no longer experiencing ‘wet weather’ – it’s ‘perfect Twilight weather.’

“The rain’s actually quite nice at night, very moody and atmospheric, isn’t it?”, says Mia, mostly assuring herself, “the kind of weather that makes you feel like some otherworldly creature is watching you fall asleep.”

“…not that appeals to me now that my prefrontal cortex is fully formed and I realise how creepy it is that a 100 year old bloke was chasing a teenage girl and that it’s kind of creepy how most vampire fiction is based on predatory old men hunting virginal women, which leads me to believe that maybe young women are being conditioned into thinking that’s okay… but then when you think about it, a lot of women’s fantasy books are centred on the older powerful man, naive girl trope, except now it’s fairies instead of vampires.”

“…Anyway, it’s perfect weather for a Twilight rewatch. Oooh I might get some hot choccy!”

More to come.
