Fuck fuck FUCK!!! It is NOVEMBER 30TH! Therefore, it should be chilly, if not outright cold. I should be wearing my nice jeans and cuddly sweaters and boots-I should NOT be able to wear a friggin summer DRESS and sandals! It should not be sixty some degrees, okay? I shouldn’t be sitting here in a sleeveless top and summer cardigan and fucking SANDALS with my black pants. I should be wearing my sweaters and ribbed turtlenecks. I should be wearing boots and my brown winter coat. The other day, I was able to wear winter clothes. Today, it’s warm and it’s like fucking SPRING. The temperature goes up and down like a yo yo every fucking day, and I end up with a permanent migraine, and lipstick that gets mushy in the HEAT and breaks. I should not have my hair flop into strings after 10 minutes, okay? Mother Nature, I hope you get raped up the ass with a cheese grater! ---

Apparently Mother Nature is playing in Oklahoma. We had snow, snow, snow a couple of days ago. Currently it is 29 with an expected high in the 40s. Saturday’s expected high: 60. ---

That is so not FAIR! This is Pennsylvania. I mean, come on-is this a result of global warming or some crap like that? I swear, it just SUCKS. ☹ ---

I feel that way _every year_! (Although I don’t wear a dress. 😉 ) The weather in L.A. sucks. Always bloody sunny. Well, I heard that we’re due for a series of storms. I hope they’re not too wimpy. (But they always are.) ---

Here HERE GUINS! 😃 With you all the way! As a fellow Pennsylvanian, I too, doth protest the forces of nature! First off, I have all my summer clothes put away. Even more annoying, I just spent about $100 on these really nice heavy Bazooka Joe stlye turtleneck sweaters that I’ve been looking forward to wearing for a month. . .and it hasn’t even gone under 25 degress YET! What the FUCK!!!??? :mad: Also, in the summer, I slick back my hair because the humidity makes it look like a rats nest, then I blow dry in the winter because the lack of humidity flattens it. So here I am at work, after blow drying my hair and putting on a nice warm dress shirt, and I am FUCKING sweating to death, and my friggin’ hair is frizzing out all over the place because it’s like 65 with 100% humiudity right now!! To add to my misery, I stop working out in September since, you know, it’s long sleeve shirt time, so I’m out of shape and am too embarrassed to wear cooler short sleeved shirts. What I hate about this weather even more is that, while this has not been the case this week, ususally when it gets up into the 60s in November, it will sure as fire go down into the 20s at night, so no matter how you dress, unless you can change, you will either roast or freeze to death. Global warming fucking **SUCKS**. :mad: ---

I have to say, due to the chronic pain I usually have in my back (from a fusion), this warm weather is truly a Godsend. Thank you! Thank you! Zette (PS- we’ll have plenty of nasty cold weather in January- don’t worry) ---

Hell, after a week of not even getting above freezing, I’m happy for the 40 degree weather expected this weekend here in Denver. ---

Well, while it would be nice to have some snow and cold for that Christmassy feel, I, for, one HATE cold weather, and am enjoying not wearing a coat today. In addition, I’m going to wear a sleeveless t-shirt (to show off my arms) and jeans to the Eagle (a DC leather bar) tonight, something I wouldn’t be able to do if it were cold. ---

I love it. I did go out about three or four days ago in my heavier jacket. I was wondering why I was so sweaty. I’m thinking to myself: Am I getting sick? I’m really, really hot. Geez, all the stores have the heat on and it’s stifling. Maybe I _am_ coming down with something. So I get home and there on the T.V. is the temp. 62 degrees. Boy, I’m an ass. ---

Well, you know where I stand on this issue. It’s been raining almost continuously for the last three days and all I can do is sit here thinking how great it would be if it were 30[sup]o[/sup] cooler and that were all snow. There was a damn flood warning yesterday, can you imagine the snow, the sweet, sweet snow we would have had? I mean really, wtf? I went out in jeans and a long-sleeve tee last night. It’s currently [46 degrees](http://www.weather.com/weather/local/40207) with a projected high of 50 and highs of mid-60’s through the weekend! _Coding fixed - UB_ [Edited by UncleBeer on 11-30-2001 at 11:18 AM] ---

I’m from LA and I think the weather in DC right now is rifuckingdiculous. If it was back in LA, I’d be at least expecting it. But not in DC…I shouldn’t be wearing shorts and a t-shirt in late November. DAMMIT! It really bugs me.
