My best friend's mother and a bunch of other people I know on the east coast complain constantly about the seasons. Not just the weather, but everything to do with the season. They act like they're surprised even though they are basically the same every year. Complaining once or twice I don't care. A daily whine about the season is ridiculous.
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!
- Thread starter strawman
- Start date
That's why you move to Florida and simply enjoy two seasons year-round: Really hot and pretty warm.
I...I think you're my seasonal soulmate.
IF I could give it more than one rating, you would have every positive rating I could give. I get so freaking sick of it.
Winter (or what usually passes for it here) "It's too cold!"
Spring - I HATE pollen!
Summer - It's too hot
Fall "Why can't the weather make up it's mind!"
ARGHHHH!
Yeah you would not like to be around me in winter. Although, I've been pretty good this year. Last year I had a friend lose her temper at me for how much I complained about the cold and snow, so I've been conscious this year to keep it to myself, and apparently people have noticed my lack of whining. So that's progress!
I don't know what duties come with such a class, but, I accept.I...I think you're my seasonal soulmate.
A few years back we had a drought that lasted something like 5-7 years. There were restrictions on how much water you could use and when you could use it, and they were talking about forced water rationing in the pipes. Then, one month, it starts raining. Nothing horrendous mind you, just steady rain. On the third day they interviewed a man on the news who said this exact quote:
Nasally, whiny voice: "Ughhhhh, I hate this weather. Too much rain. I just wish it would stop already."

Not much. I feel like everyone I know prefers the cold weather, and I get cold/chilled extremely easily, so I'm miserable. I just need someone to be all, "Yay, summer!" with. Then do the lizard thing and chill on a rock*, being all warm and stuff.
Hey, you know good and well we have four full seasons.
Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas.
Fall is my favorite season, too. I know, I live in paradise, but I would love to see the leaves change color and a bit of frost on the grass in the morning.
I'm the exact opposite. I'll suffer the cold over the heat any day.
If it's cold, it's very easy to deal with it. Space heaters, AC heat, bulky clothing, sex etc.
If it's hot, it's a pain in the ass and near impossible to deal with. Fans (noisy/blow shit around), AC (constantly having to switch the temps), wearing very little clothing not an option in alot of situations, sex while sweaty (before anything even happens) is not nearly as fun, etc.
Fascinating. Most of my friends have pretty much the exact same feelings as you, while I don't usually want fans, AC, don't find clothes restrictive/warm, don't mind sweaty-before-anything-happens sex...
Must just be the variety of constitutions people are built with. Neat.
It was 14 degrees here this morning... I feel sorry for you northerners... Because when things get bad here, it is really worse there.
So.... Anybody wanna come over for dinner tonight? I am making steak in a red wine vinegar sauce, with browned butter mashed potatoes and asparagus with a light cheese sauce. The three people I invited have all cancelled, but I don't want to re-freeze the steaks I thawed.[DOUBLEPOST=1389123434,1389123390][/DOUBLEPOST]I can also promise Settlers of Catan, or Ticket to Ride or a variety of other board games at which you will probably beat me. So you can eat my food and feel superior.
Yes. I definitely want to come over tonight.

I would dine the fuck out of you.
Great, see you guys at six?
If you were within a hundred miles of me, I'd be there in an instant. Good food and a nice game? Hot damn.
I'm trying to keep my sprout soup, salmon teriyaki with fresh vegetables and baked potatoes warm for my girlfriend who's....3 hours late coming back from work, so far. Grump. I know she'll show up, she called about 2 hours ago to say she was working late, but still.
(selfish mini-rant: she just started a new job and has been working overtime every day so far. It's bloody annoying trying to comfort and help someone when they're not around and don't show up. I want to be the good housewife on the days i'm not working myself, really, but that salmon's going to taste like crap and I'm not to blame, dammit!)

Well, I'll start walking but Google tells me it will take about 800 hours of dedicated walking to get close.
So run.
Can I get my steak well done?
*dies*
Well, no. After all those hours of walking, I can understand needing new shoe soles.
Who does?
Perhaps she is just trying to shame your way to greater success?
Or perhaps she is worried that you are making her look bad.

In the long run, yeah. In the short run, I have work in the morning and am gonna have to sleep one way or another.
