judecorpOkay, so I decided that regardless of what the forecast was for the day, I was officially declaring it Spring. I need Spring, you see - need it in my bones and my eyes and my skin and my heart. This winter has been long enough, and my friends, It Is Time.
I didn't check the temperature on WeatherBug, but I put on my windbreaker anyway. With my Auntie hat, complete with jingly bell. On the radio, the man said the temp would be in the 40s today, and the 50s tomorrow. HEAT WAVE! My windbreaker and I are ready.
I am wearing the crappiest down-dressiest clothes today. It's Cover Day. Heh. I hope I don't have to cover anything important, because I look like a bum. After work I have Finance Committee at Kaleidoscope. And then *Dun Dun DUUUUNNN!* Survivor at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elspazz0's!
It's springtime, motherf*ckers. DO IT. This winter mood is OUT.

Date: 2004-02-19 04:53 pm (UTC)You step outside and fill your lungs with crisp, cool air and it's like Mother Nature is slapping you on the face! Then you exhale and you are given actual visual evidence that you're alive! Right there, you can see your breath billowing out in a cloud.
And is there anything better than coming in out of the cold and feeling the warmth spread through your entire body? I'd much rather be cold and warming up then be hot and cooling down.
Summer is way overrated. Here are just a few of Winter's glories that simply cannot be experienced in the Summer:
- Yellow Snow
- Bruce Willis stabbing a bad guy in the eye with an icicle (see: Die Hard 2: More Harder Dying)
- Frozen Snot
- Slushballs
- Road Salt
- Sticking your tongue onto the metal railing outside Mrs. Penny's room and having to rip off your taste buds because it's not recess, you're not supposed to be outside, and you're not wearing your jacket.
- Ice fishing. Okay, I've never done this, but who doesn't want to be bundled up and huddling over a hole in the ice for hours at a time waiting for a fish (which I don't even eat) to bite? That sounds like fun!
Oh, and Spring? It sucks. Wet and nasty all the time, can't decide whether it wants to be warm or cold. In like a lion, out like a salt marsh harvest mouse. April showers, May flowers...my ass! The only good thing about Spring is the presents on May 10 (and don't be giving me any damn clothes, either).By the way, I still have a book to ship to you.
Vive la hiver!
