Two Minute Hate.

Attention: Summer.


GET. THE. FUCK. OUT.

90F tomorrow? NOT acceptable.


Look, I know we've never gotten along. I've tolerated having my birthday stuck in the middle of you my whole life and I think I have generally been polite about it. But frankly, you've become especially loathesome lately: hot, muggy, rainless, and relentlessly too fucking bright. All that harsh yellow sunlight for weeks on end uninterrupted? NOT pretty. It's tacky, monotonous, dreary, and about as pleasant as a the visual equivalent of a car alarm that won't stop.

I can understand how you might be a little bit confused, because the Cubs are still playing (and still losing) but it is NOT July. It is October. You wore out your welcome in August. GO. AWAY.

No love,
Me.

PS: Weather gods - if you want to make it up to me, let's have lots of deep fluffy snow this year. I've been feeling pretty ripped off the last couple.

I like the heat, the sun...not so much. And you may have our rain, we have had way too much of it for my liking.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wish you could give us some. Some REAL rain though, none of this crap with the half-hour-long showers that leave it more muggy than it was before.

I just want a week that's overcast and in the 60s. Is that too much to ask? You'd think in Chicago it wouldn't be.

[qtheallpowerful.livejournal.com]

Yeah...Well, we had yet another storm last night....*sigh* Why wont it go away?

[last-archangel.livejournal.com]

No KIDDING. I hate summer, and I too have to endure a hot, muggy, miserable birthday.

God, I'm hungry....diets suck.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

How's the weather where you are? Better?

[last-archangel.livejournal.com]

You kidding? I'm in fucking New England - cold capital of the United States - and everyone's wandering around my college campus in shorts and tank tops.

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

You could move here.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm, yes, that looks VERY nice.

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

Brrr! I'm not ready yet for sub-freezing nights.

However, I am with you in wanting lots of snow this winter. I just bought weekday passes for our local ski area.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Ooooo.

I've never gone skiing. I do want to try it someday.

I just love to walk in it and play in it and look at it. Every time it snows part of me turns 7 years old again. :D

Same here. I think in part it's because snow is so rare in Dallas -- we get it maybe twice a winter -- that it has that indelible association with days off work and school (because the only people living here that know how to drive on icy roads are transplanted Yankees), trying to make snowballs or snowmen with a mere four inches of accumulation, and watching the backyard get blanketed with white...

Yes yes yes -- I mean, down here it's more expected that there will be 90s in October, but I still loathe the idea. October is for crisp cool nights and maybe warm (but not hot) days. For leaves turning color and hot cider and the switch from stuff-on-the-grill to stuff-from-the-oven.

*grumbles* *uses autumn weather icon to try to encourage things*

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

I'll use my wintry one!

It's time for crisp cool nights, I agree. And leaves blowing around in the wind. And a hint of winter to come. Time for pumpkin pie and mulled wine.

When the weather's hot and sticky
That's no time to dip your wicky
When the frost is on the pumpkin -
That's the time for peter dunkin'!

word.

the world is not healthy. it's groaning beneath the weight of the northern hemisphere's greenhouse gases. it's weeping with the pain of its thick, poisoned veins.

some humans can be appallingly, unspeakably stupid. human cruelty and ignorance toward other humans is one thing; what we've done to our home and those who share it scares me even more than what we do to ourselves. sometimes i can't believe it isn't deliberate.

DITTO.

and about as pleasant as a the visual equivalent of a car alarm that won't stop.
I always wondered if other people felt the same way...

<3!

Is someone getting sweaty? lol

[shadowvalkyrie.livejournal.com]

I can relate! My birthday's in June. *vomits* I couldn't have expressed it nearly half as well, though. ":-D
I'm glad summer finally left my side of the planet alone. *enjoys the colder (though not nearly cold enough) weather and misty mornings over here*

[kumquatweekend.livejournal.com]

*sigh*

I kinda miss Bay Area "seasons". July? Cold and windy as all get-out! October? Sweltering!

Vancouver isn't quite as interesting. It goes a little something like:

[ithilwen.livejournal.com]

At least the weather had the decency to cool off slightly on Sunday, when I was out in my garden chopping down the tomatoes. You're not supposed to be at risk of heatstroke in October!

Ah, well, it won't be logn before we're all whining about the cold. :D
