What the hell, Mother Nature? Are you in menopause or some shit?
The weather this summer totally sucks. It's June 18th and I'm in jeans. I don't want to put an air conditioner in my apartment because, frankly, I don't need it. By this time last summer I was averaging three cold showers a night, washing off sweat and trying to lower my body temperature.
Crappy weather on a Monday? Fine. Torrential downpours suit the start of the week, reminding us that life is one slow steady march to the grave and the rain is just brining us to be devoured by the worms. Fine. But it's Thursday! According to the notoriously-inaccurate
weather.com (which I still check constantly despite its inaccuracy), today is just a small taste of what's to come: thunderstorms, showers, fire & brimstone! Did someone enslave the Hebrews again? Cuz this sounds like one whopper of a
plague.

Does no one else feel entirely cheated by the weather?! I mean, it's the middle of June and I should be dripping with sweat, not rain! We're not talking usual summer rains here, either. I remember last summer when rain would start to pour down out of absolutely nowhere and pour down
hard; but, if you waited ten minutes or so, it'd be done. Sure, there were some straight-up rainy days, but only a handful. I don't know about you, but I'd take a spontaneous flash flood to an endless shower any day. There's nothing worse than dragging yourself around in the morning when you know that your immediate future includes everything from wet socks and rain-sprayed glasses to jeans sticking to your legs and unbearable, existential gloom.
"Look at me, Ma, I'm stubborn!"
And that's what we're looking at this weekend. I'm planning on reading, watching a hell of a lot of
David Lynch movies, and probably logging a dozen hours on the ol' Xbox 360.
What are your plans? Please don't tell me you were planning on hitting the beach.
FML.

The air conditioning at my house broke, so I was definitely not being cheated by summer today with it was 90F in the house.
It was 97 degrees here the other day. This weather is killing me. The problem is that not only is it hot, but it thunderstorms here like crazy. I live in Miami so you'd think I'd be hitting up the beach every weekend (which is what I wanted) but instead I have to suffer mosquitos and poor driving conditions. lol
I AGREE. I was suppose to go to an amusement park today, but a downpour of rain rudely intervened. Time to throw some Midol at Mother Nature.
Currently, I am in NY, b-day is on june 20th, and every single day has had rain. Bad? not really, since I live in Nevada, i have sun and heat 24/7 (No weather cheating there).
I won't say its global warming...but I will say, its earth telling us and cows to stop farting so much. =)
Mother Nature needs pee breaks too.
I tried to tan today. Epic fail.
i live in so cal, so even when it's cold during the summer, it's around the 6Os. hah. yeah, it really isn't that hot, though... today was my last day of school and it felt nothing like it because it wasn't even sunny.
Come down to Georgia. It's expected to be 98 degrees tomorrow with the heat index expected to be around 105 or so. Typical summer weather.
move south. Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, etc.
@MissXMorbidx@xanga - It's always an epic fail when I try to tan.
@yourblondeness@xanga - Lol. My best friend can only tan in that little squishy part next to her armpits, and that's it. Everywhere else she burns, and it doesn't turn tan.
I just burn. Except for on my legs. Which don't ever get any kind of color. Ever.
i'm floatin' the guadalupe river! texas summer never disappoints, its always hot as hell and you can always count on gettin' a tan.
what are you talking about? its been like 100 degrees here every frickin day.
but i live in texas so....
Today here in the good ole' St. Louis Metropolitan area, it's hot as fuck. I believe the bank sign said 98 degrees or some shit. And the humidity levels above 50% are a bitch.
Not at all. It's hot as usual. Gives me the chance to flaunt my muscular, shapely legs. Here's to the "guy-thigh revival!"
im not too angry about it. a little irritated, sure. you'll be complaining when the weather hits a sunny day and you find out on the news that its the hottest most humid day in NY since the last several decades...then there's a power outage in both US coasts because everyone decided to simultaneously turn on the AC to max
Yeah seriously, the weather is SO GROSS.
trying living in mississippi for a while.
its been up to about 100F every day this weekI was thinking the exact same thing last night and this morning when I woke up to yet another day of rain.
It's june! It's either freezing at night, or raining! Cmon now...doesn't even feel like summer yet
I agree. Lets hope the fourth is okay though. The father parental unit doesn't see me much anymore, and without the promise of massive amounts of grilling, I think he might have too little incentive to be here.
And that sucks not cause I wont get to see him. But because I wont get to play with fireworks. Hahahahahaha.
@lifeandlovequotes@xanga - Wanna trade? shitty rain for searing heat?
The weather is wonderful in Texas.
Because Texas is God's country.
the rain in NY is wack-and today it poured all morning
The weather in Quebec has been OK. Some sunny days and then the usual rainy days. Nothing like in Spain or Portugal where they always get sunny days during the summer.
@BranmacFeabhail@xanga - :P
Agreed. EFF YOU BOSTON !
