Our radiators kicked on again today. It is June 3rd and our radiators kicked on. It's rainy and cold and I'm sick of it. I'm sick of being cold all the fucking time! I never feel like doing anything because it's always cold, or rainy, or just grey and depressing or windy and cold, cold, cold. I hate being cold in my own house, so that I don't even want to get out from under the bed covers. I hate not feeling sexy for almost the entire year. I can't wear my sandals and skirts, I can't wear my tanktops and sunglasses, I'm sick of being white, I'm sick of nobody even KNOWING that I'm white because THEY CAN'T SEE MY SKIN, I HATE cold weather clothing, I hate having to wear layers constantly, I hate wind blowing my hair in my face every time I try to cross the fucking intersection, I hate indoor pools, I hate going to the beach on my one day off and it always, always, always gets cloudy at 2pm sharp and the cold rain starts dripping on the beach, I hate hate hate this fucking weather and I can't wait to live where it's summer all year round again!
I AM SO MOTHERFUCKING SICK OF COLD FUCKING WEATHER!
It is supposed to be HOT in JUNE! People are supposed to BBQ and eat at outdoor restaurants!
Only people coming from ENGLAND would think this fucking place was worth settling!

john [email] said at 2:32 AM 06-04-2006: I'm with Andrew. Come and spend a summer or two in Louisiana and you'll never ever, ever, ever, again bitch about it being cold. I promise you.
brad [email] said at 3:40 AM 06-04-2006: I was about to say, "Maybe you should leave Chicago," but you're in Boston, right? I'm totally with you on the cold. Heat and humidity can be uncomfortable, but it's not debilitating like the cold.
rick [email] said at 2:07 PM 06-04-2006: The rain is the most annoying thing. "I hate you, Boston," I thought as I trudged out of the T stop yesterday. I will take a sudden downpour over this light to moderate drizzle that lasts a whole weekend any day of the week and twice on a Sunday.
myriam [email] said at 2:28 PM 06-04-2006: Yeah. This city is somewhat like London (although nowhere near as bad) in that it can never seem to muster up energy in its weather this time of year--just a constant, depressing drizzle of spitting rain. I wish it would just fucking come down like fire and brimstone and then move on. It's the constant, even, blah-ness of it that is getting to me!
brad [email] said at 4:10 PM 06-04-2006: San Francisco's like that most of the winter. But I kinda liked that, having pretty much all of the year's rain concentrated in one season. And it's usually drizzly, very few heavy downpours.
rick [email] said at 4:01 PM 06-05-2006: But SF does not really get cold, whereas it does sometimes here. On top of that, I think it is actually a bit easier to get around SF than it is in Boston.
brandon [email] said at 11:39 PM 06-04-2006: Today, I worked outside doing some wiring with a friend. The sun beat down on us and my face burned red. By the time we were done splicing and anchoring the 3:00 o'clock sun had become like a relentless gang master, taunting us with his implacable derision. The salt was upon our brow, and when I took off my shirt tonight to massage my tired, aching, rope-like muscles I noticed a crust of white along my back which had taken the brunt of the punishment today. the mineral salt of my sweat left behind after the moisture had evaporated away. I've known the noonday sun, I've seen him break men far stronger than I. Those who curse god's blessings, Myriam, those who curse god's blessings.
josh [email] said at 10:37 AM 06-08-2006: a week ago the radiators came on at my place and i freaked out because i had stacked a bunch of stuff on one of my radiators, assuming they were off for 5 months... glad i was home when it happened.
john [email] said at 11:06 AM 06-08-2006: I went and bought a box fan the other day for my window. Chicago has been nice. You guys can have your shitty east coast weather.
