Same here. I cannot stand hot weather. I guess that's why I have absolutely no desire to ever travel for spring break. I would much rather get drunk up here where its nice and cool, rather than pay hundreds of dollars to do it in a hot, muggy climate .

Right now, it's windy and sunny during the day, while it's flippin' cold at night. The usual fall/winter stuff here, I guess... *shrugs*

Okay, last week (I'd say maybe Tuesday or Wednesday), it was about 75 degrees. Then that Saturday (Easter Eve ), I wake up to an inch a and quarter of snow. What on earth?...

It's normally in the 60's to 70's around here this time of year but lately it's been 50' if we are lucky for a high. Low's have droppes down below 30 a lot too. We got a little snow but it was gone shortly after it stopped.

It's great when you don't go outside. With the thermostat, you can set the temperature to whatever you want!

we should really trade places.

not really, i wouldn't like to freeze either but 55-65 seems about right. i like cool weather much more than sunny, hot, humid weather.

good thing we got this deal at my apartment that no one sets the thermostat above 60. we're all apparently coldblooded people so it's mostly set to 57 and i was surprised to find how warm it was indoors when it was like 30 outdoors.

I'll trade ya. Even the insides of most buildings are freezing, because it's so expensive to heat the things, anymore. I'm in a coat by 72 degrees... So this weather sucks for me.

in a coat by 72? you must really hate cold

i can barely keep on a wifebeater when it gets up to the 80s. most of my shirts are darker colored so whenever the sun's out it's almost lethal for me to stand out in it. i remember once going to six flags in a black T and i think cargos, it was over 90 that day and i kept running in and out of the sun whenever we waited in lines so i could breath. i get headaches from heat very easily.

I woke up this morning and there is snow in the mountains outside of my window. Right now it is 35 degrees and it is suppose to get to 40 degrees. Last week, I had short sleeves on.

I had to laugh, the weather here was amazing. Sunshine and all that jazz. Its usually thunderstorms in spring here.

My friend was on holiday in new york and it was cold wet and actually snowed at one point.

I missed her. Glad she had a good time though.

I am frustrated with my neighbor's 10-year old son. This past week, I asked him if he would like to go to the movies this weekend. I told him that it is my treat and he can pick the movie. On Friday night, he indicated that he would like to see Meet the Robinsons. When it was time to go to the movie on Saturday, he threw a fit. He is never grateful when someone offers a treat at the movies or aracade or glow-in-the-dark miniature golf. However, he likes to stay at home and play video games.

Here is the sad part on my half, I worked all morning on my homework so that I can set aside some time for a movie. I told him that it is much to ask to get homework done on a Saturday morning.

Wow...what an ungrateful kid. I guess that's going to be the last time you are going to offer taking him to the movies, right? I don't know why, but something tells me that he is going to be throwing fits for a while yet...

Oh, and I just came back from my first anime convention yesterday! It was fantastic! I got to meet Dan Green, the voice of Yugi from "Yugioh". I really liked him, since he also does work on the 2k3 TMNT cartoon (he voices Gen, Mortu the Utrom, Commander Mozar, The Ultimate Daimyo, and Quarry when she is a "beast"). He was very nice, and since I had a little hand drawn chibi print and a hand made key chain of Yugi for him...he kind of flipped out *laughs* I also just got to meet Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt who voice Sasuke and Temari from "Naruto". They were running late, but there were still very nice and loved the gifts I got for them (again, a hand made chibi and key chain). It was a shame I didn't get to talk to them some more, since they pretty much rocked and were ridiculously friendly

There was also a voice actors panel where Dan, Yuri and Tara answered some questions and they got onto the topic of the TMNT movie and the voice work behind it. I just loved hearing about the movie from the eyes of voice actors who could have been involved with the project, but weren't offered the job. They had some really interesting insights to the movie, and I managed to hear that the voice actors from the 2k3 series weren't even considered for their roles, just because the producers wanted big name Hollywood actors in there. Even with the minor parts, or just one lined parts, some people were replaced. That's show business, I guess

The highlight of the day was definitely when me and my friends went to a "Kamehameha" competition...and saw a guy dressed up as a box enter. Some of the most random and crazy things happened and, even though the dude was knocked out in the semi finals, "Boxy" won the competition. Even better was when he was knocked out of the semi finals. The guy, still in his box, was leaning against a fire escape and started banging the door...which opened up while he was banging it and he fell over through the fire escape. Best. Thing. Ever!

...and I blew $120 in one day on random crap and manga! HUZZAH! *cheers*

After he threw that fit, I told him that I will not take him anywhere. However, I think that he has been abused by an instructor at the local YMCA. He has yet to apologize for his actions.
