snoooooow!

I love snow! I love watching it flurry to the ground, I love the way snow looks when it settles on plants, I love seeing inches of it built up on roofs and cars, I love throwing it at other people, I even pretty much love getting it thrown at me. I love stomping in snow, I love kicking it and eating it and sitting inside with hot chocolate looking outside at it. I love it.

I do not, however, love defrosting my car without any kind of ice scraper. Oh my. I used warm water, which is mostly okay except when it freezes all over again before I can dry it, and when I am literally frozen out of my car! It took three water bottles of warm water before I could even open the driver's door. Oh poor Melinda.

At least it got me up this morning! Now, as I have told myself, I am supposed to be cleaning my room. I am actually sitting next to the heater & I do not want to go anywhere else. Brrr. It is not really that cold in my room, but...brr nevertheless.

Okay, okay. Compared to, like, New England? I am a wuss! But I do not care. It was 23 F this morning & I am a wussy little Seattleite and not used to being cold. Oof. & it is not getting any warmer any time soon! ...oh, I don't like defrosting things, but I do like winter, really. Yay.



January:Last year on New Year's Eve I wrote: I don't have any resolutions, but by this time next year I should have written my history thesis & defended it; been in more theater (hopefully an alumni show as well), gotten a good summer job, finished some pieces of writing, fixed my camera & started taking pictures again, studied abroad, & come home again.
February: I am terrifically far behind on the work I should be doing this weekend.
March: I was inside listening to Ravi Shankar music, when suddenly--out of blue skies and nowhere--it has begun to hail.
April: Day two of spring quarter & things are going swimmingly.
May: Hello, May.
June: Saturday: Wind reading canceled; I went to the Design Studio instead, after traveling to Utrecht & spending far too much money on metal and wood.
July: So today I woke up early & drove to Redmond for a job interview.
August: Another list - So I finally saw Iron Man at the Crest, & OH MY it was AWESOME.
September: Katie and Molly & I played games, driving back from Winthrop across the Cascades.
October: I have been alive!
November: I don't know why artists complain about the lack of space...I mean, in Munich they're using a public toilet as a museum.
December: callbacks last night went well, as far as i can tell (which i never really feel like i can).

Oh dear god you spoiled brat ;).

The high today was 8F. 8! Right now, thanks to windchill, it feels like -14 outside. I live in Iowa, and we are generally colder than Juneau, Alaska in the winter. Lame.

Haha, I KNOW....but to me, it's pretty cold. Y'know. Relativity.
Still. 8? ...ow...

Oh, I bet it is cold, and I've heard Seattle is the wet kind of cold, which sucks. We have wet cold and dry cold and I prefer dry cold any day. Still, the wind just cuts through you here. I want to live in Seattle one day, and I shall laugh at those of you who cower at an inch of snow...we're supposed to get four to seven today, and the sky is definitely delivering.

Bundle up and stay warm :D

Yeah, in Seattle it's the wet cold most of the time, & the wind is awful! But today it's mostly dry cold, clear skies, icy kind of weather. Still. I think we're up to 27! Huzzah!

Seattle will welcome you! ....well, it probably won't, actually, because we're notoriously terrible about being polite but distant to strangers, but...move anyway! & ignore the bitching, people will accept you. :D
