Yes, boys and girls, we've hit the magic hour.

It's fucking snowing for the first time this season, and I am not fucking amused.

Arr. I hate the cold, and the wind chill sucks, but I have a deep-seated and possibly-irrational-though-I-sure-the-fuck-don't-think-so loathing for snow. We didn't do snow in South Florida, because it was a civilized fucking place.

... voting practices aside.

On the up side, though, the soothing wash of uncomplicated rage has completely swept away the neurotic anxiety panic I was having this morning. Given the choice, I'll always take Pissed Off over Freaked Out. I do it so much better. *g*

Heh. Sadly, this really is a yearly occurrence--12 years above the Mason-Dixon line, and I still have a fit when it snows. (Well, OK, the first year was mostly just confused and pitiful. "It looks like it's raining outside, but why is it ... drifting through the streetlight?")

However, I've already started the transition into "being incredibly amused at my own crankiness." I've lost my capacity to stay mad at the impersonal forces of nature. And my low-quality but very tasty Chinese food is helping immensely.

Oh yes, there will be fic-writing. ::bouncy::

YES!

He's wet. He's angry. He's armed. It pleases me. *g*

Heh. First snow here too (just down the road, really) but my reaction is all "Oooooooh, SNOW!" 'cause I've never had to live anywhere with snow as an actual *feature* (instead of an occasional novelty) before. However, I suspect it'll wear off realsoon and I'll settle into my usual winter gloom. With intermissions for alcohol.

For now, however - Oooooooh, SNOW!

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

LOL. I wish you many, many days of snow-related happy. *g* I have usually one day where I say, "Oh, look--pretty! It's covered up all the dirt!" and then there's the months of slush and melting and freezing into giant patches of falling-waiting-to-happen. It's not the snow per se, it's that the plowing is completely inadequate and people don't shovel their sidewalks. Which I don't understand, because this happens every year, why can't the city/state deal better?

But I'm all over the alcoholic intermissions.

There's only two reasons for ice....

Cooling drinks and playing hockey on.

Snow has no purpose whatsoever.

And smart people live where it's warm. I know it's not your choice, darlin', 'cause you're there for the love of a good man.

But this might be one of those occasions where I'd whack him upside the head and remind him of Darwinism in action. (grin)

People here always go on about the seasons, like that's some big draw. We had the wet season and the dry season growing up, and that was good enough for me. *g*

Yeah, it's all him and his damn job. And his, y'know, essentially supporting both of us with said damn not-really-relocatable job (though I should really work on him about the fact that if we lived elsewhere, the cost of living would be way the hell lower!)

Stupid cash flow. Er, Communism was supposed to be bad, why?

Snow is an offense against humanity. In fact, winter -- real, serious winter -- pretty much sucks all the way around.

You have my sympathies.

I grew up in Ohio; moved to coastal California when I was 18 and have never looked back. Yeah, it's cold(ish) and rainy all winter, but at least we never have to shovel snow. Ever.

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, cold and rainy sounds heavenly right now. At least the snow isn't sticking yet--it's offensive in the air, and melting on the ground. I'm mostly ranting on principle right now. *g*

[reedfem.livejournal.com]

If it was colder here, we'd also have quite the snowfall today. But instead, it's rainy & windy & gloomy & nasty. And my husband stayed home from work to toy with me.

But I've gotten loads of cleaning done so I don't have to bother with it this weekend. Although...there is always more.

Chinese food sounds good. We usually have take out of some kind on Fridays. And it's definitely Friday. Enterprise and Stargate marathon night. NOt that I get to watch much of it "live"...grumble.

I think I've been infected with your rant virus.

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Rant on, sister!

My husband is at home playing Everquest 2. He doesn't even have to leave the house today. But I'm trying to be good and not, y'know, hate him bitterly for it or anything. Go me.

Trying to pretend I'm not sitting here barefoot in shorts and t-shirt with windows open.

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

LOL. Yeah, yeah, been there, done that. *g* We watch the Weather Channel every morning, and two of my personal waypoints are Florida ("Look, it's 40 degrees warmer where my dad is. That's not right.") and International Falls, MN, self-professed "icebox of the nation" ("Well, at least we don't live there."). Forced perspective, but perspective nonetheless.

lets see November 12th is your first snow? we had ours October 16th, at least the one that stayed. Had an earlier snow that melted away right away. And considering I can expect below zero celsius weather, snow on ground till the end of March/middle of April... well, I'm tempted to say, "why are you complaining? I'd trade you."

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm not saying we couldn't have it worse than we do. But bitching about personal annoyances on lj is a categorical imperative. *g*

[qzee.livejournal.com]

true, complain away. *hugs*

Today it actually got down to 12 degrees C here in the happy hell of humidity that is Texas. I am currently typing wearing pj bottoms, finger gloves, a t-shirt, a sweatshirt, socks and slippers. I am happily warm.

What I actually mean to say, is, I kind of miss living in a place where you don't wait 10 fucking months for it to fall to below 30-fucking-degrees C. Just because I've lost my Canuck ability to deal with cold doesn't mean I like it being boiling hot all the time.

So, what I'm kind of vaguely trying to say is, I share your pain. Only backwards. Yeah.

Loved your fic!

LOL. In a sick way, I actually miss walking out of the airport into that tangible wall of heat and humidity. We are what we've been made. *g*
