rachiee Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Oh, it's been overcast here a lot lately. I don't really mind it all that much, even though I walk to and from school nearly every day. There's always a chance that it could start pouring, but thankfully it hasn't happened yet. :) (the most severe weather I came across while walking to school was...mist. xD) Quote
Spritzie Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Yes it does, but we all already knew that about you. :P I just thrive with heat and sun. Quote
IrishLiz Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 AZs weather is so weird, one day its super hot outside, the next its overcast and freezing, then its just cold, then theres smoke everywhere from a forest fire or something, and now its hot again, T-T Ryan, the smoke was actually from Canada. (no joke!) We have had really nice weather here in AZ (minus the smoke) which is really weird for this time of year. Usually it's an oven by now. The rain was kinda fun the other day. :laughingsmiley: That sucks. I hate rain almost as much as snow. Almost. Actually, I love rain. But it's my favorite when I'm inside and get to sit and listen to the thunder and the rain hitting the roof. And watching the lightning. I also love driving in rain, but I don't like it otherwise. I love rain too - especially listening to it on the roof like you said. I love it when it rains like that when I go to sleep. Watching storms is fun. I actually like driving in it too, as long as it isn't so intense that I can't see. AZ drivers are super bad in the rain though, so it can be annoying for that reason. Oh and Rachel, I'll take that with the tea, but I'll replace the smooth jazz with Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Ella Fitzgerald. :yes: Quote
Spritzie Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 The sound of rain is amazingly soothing. I just love that. And it's even better now that I have windows that are sheltered from the rain so I can have them open. Quote
IrishLiz Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Oh that sounds great. And Ryan, we get so much sunshine that I don't think it's weird to like overcast weather. :) Quote
Theresa2 Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I dont like the rain at all it bothers my back I have a bad back when it rains ahhh wants to scream go away Quote
Iona Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Haha... rain... I have a story. So on Wednesday this week I was in my house alone after my Maths exams had finished and decided I'd cycle the 2 or 3 miles to my grandparent's house. So I packed a backpack with my laptop, various chargers, DVDs and about 4+ days worth of clothes. Boy it was heavy. Anyhow, so I locked up the house, fetched my bike from the garage - which was troublesome as it gets hung on the garage ceiling - and then started my bike journey with the heavy weight on my back. When I left, the weather was okay. 5mins later, it started drizzling with rain. 5 more minutes later it was bucketing it down. The weight on my back was getting heavier and heavier the further I went and the wind was against me so it was even harder to cycle. About half way there, hail stones started attacking me. I don't know how long it took me to get there, I forgot to check the time I left at... but I think it must've been about an hour. My grandmother opened the front door to find a very soaking wet Iona, who felt like she was about to be violently sick. About half an hour later I looked out the window. It was a completely different view... the sun was blazing and all the rain had dried up. That's just my luck. <_< Quote
Tedhaun Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Overcast is depressing to me. Plus it makes it too cold when it's raining or there's moisture in the air. I never really liked overcast as well. The wind actually makes things colder when I go outside in my opinion rather than the rain. :P Quote
Spritzie Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 That sucks Iona. You didn't get sick, did you? That probably would have gotten me sick. Weather changes ridiculously quick here. I hate the wind too. :laughingsmiley: We have crazy amounts of wind the last few years. It's done a lot of damage recently. The wind doesn't bother me all that much, as long as it's warm out. But in January, we had weather that was -10 degrees, with 35 MPH winds, making the temperature with wind chill, about -35 degrees. <_< I forgot my gloves when walking between buildings at work (which takes 5-8 minutes) and I couldn't feel my fingers by the time I got to the other building, and it was about 10 hours before the pain in my fingers stopped. Quote
Wembly Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 It's been thunderstorming practically every day and night for the past week. The upside of that is that it's been great for the garden. Everything's growing and I don't even have to think about watering it :laughingsmiley: Watching the lightning in the clouds over the bay has been nice and I'm really enjoying reading while listening to the rain on the roof and the skylight. Quote
Spritzie Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I just wish the weather would make up its mind. The days generally start out cool, then it gets super hot, then it storms. Quote
rachiee Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 That's kind of how it is in NY sometimes, except it just gets really humid and/or warm instead of super hot. Because it gets relatively cold in the mornings, I usually wear a jacket to school and end up not wearing it once the afternoon arrives. <_< I think that every state in the Northeast has a wacky climate. Even though I believe said this before (saying it again for truth), it's brutally cold in the winter and burning hot in the summer. xD Quote
Iona Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 The weather is awful here. There've been weather warnings all over the news about strong winds in my area and we've definitely been caught in them. One of my trees has completely toppled over, it's probably snapped. Shame really, it was a nice tree. That sucks Iona. You didn't get sick, did you? That probably would have gotten me sick. Weather changes ridiculously quick here. I did feel slightly ill for a while. But I felt a lot better after a few hours of rest. And same. My country is notorious for crazy weather changes. We rarely have nice weather though. Quote
Spritzie Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I'm glad you're feeling a lot better now. :) I get irritated when the weather starts out cold. I get up for work at 5:30 and it's freezing, so I'll end up with jeans and a sweater, and by 9am, it's hot and I need AC. :laughingsmiley: Quote
Tedhaun Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 That's how the weather is where I live (and most others) when the Summertime comes, I always turn my AC on when it gets to be 80 or so degrees in the hotter months like July or August or something. Quote
Spritzie Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 With the way the weather has been this year, I wouldn't be shocked if we got more snow this month. Our first snow came late this year. I'm hoping that means it will be a semi-mild summer. Quote
IrishLiz Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Ok so unrelated post... and brief rule-breaking to mention something NP-related on HOP. To add to my bad day, I just lost 100K on the wheel of extravagance. man I think I'm done with that stupid thing (I'm down 400-600K now). :grrr: So... too many doctor's appointments (and shots) lately and coming up. (No worries, it's nothing serious, just a bad cold and the way things got scheduled out this month). I like my doctor, but I wish I didn't have to go in. Plus, shots really really REALLY do not like me. I usually just about pass out when I get them. :whistle: Plus, stress at work. bleck. Sometimes I think I need a tougher skin. Sorry guys, just had to vent a little. We've had mostly nice weather here lately, but I almost wish it would go ahead and get hot so all the non-native plants (or at least the parts with pollen that my body doesn't like) die. Oh and one cool thing though... I just moved into smartphone-land for the first time and got an Android phone on Saturday. Any recommendations for apps or anything I must know with the new phone? I've downloaded some of the popular free ones but I'm not sure what other people like to have. Quote
Spritzie Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I know what you mean about the new wheel Liz. I lost probably about 700k to it. But I did get the avatar this morning! :D No more spinning until it until I build my NP back up a little bit. I'm sorry about all the appointments. I have to go in for a shot next month. <_< I'm just glad I'm past my allergies. When I was a kid, I had to get an allergy shot once a week. It was absolutely pouring on my way to work, then there were about 2 blocks where it was hailing, then there was pretty much nothing for the rest of the drive. Quote
IrishLiz Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I was supposed to get vaccination shots yesterday, but I got an allergy shot instead since I was still pretty congested from my cold. I felt pretty icky from the shot yesterday, but I feel better today (and am less congested), so yay! I have to go back for vaccinations and get them separately since I had a reaction last time. o_O I really don't like needles... That sounds like crazy weather. We had hail earlier this year that was insane, but it's not that normal for us. A bunch of people (including my family) had to get roof and A/C repairs from all the damage. We do have sometimes when it rains while the sun is shining. That's always a little odd and fun, I think. :) Congrats on the avatar! I'll probably stop when I get it too. That thing is driving me nuts! Quote
Hailee Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I have just been really busy with school! I'm excited though because its almost the end of the school year, so summer will be here and i can play neopets all i want :) Quote
Tedhaun Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I have just been really busy with school! I'm excited though because its almost the end of the school year, so summer will be here and i can play neopets all i want :) I know, I can't wait for the Summer to come as well. More time with our Neopets, relaxing in the AC, having some Ice Cream and Lemonade to cool off as well. It used to be before 2009, I do some Summer job training these days. I always make time to be with my Neopets each day. Quote
Spritzie Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I almost wish I was of school age again, so I could have summers off. But then again, with my job, I spent more time on Neopets year-round. Quote
Tedhaun Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 For me these days, I don't want to return to high school, that Senior Project nearly drained me with finding a mentor and a please-able topic for the project, since they all have to be original and can't be clones of previous Senior Projects done be past senior classes. Pretty much all HS senior classes from 2008 onwards has to do them, and the requirements for one to graduate High School get worse every year. I'm lucky that I didn't have to community service (6 hours) as a requirement, but my younger sister has to. All the stuff the school committees do to keep students "more challenged", really. For college, I'm wishing to go to a two year college at some point and not stress myself out, because I don't want to be stuck with four years of it like my older brother did. Quote
Spritzie Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Oh, I wouldn't go back to HS. I hated HS. :laughingsmiley: I think I'd go back to 8th grade. That was one of only 2 years of school I really enjoyed. Quote
wistiria12 Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I have a good luck charm necklace.It was given to my mom,but she didn't need it so she gave it to me to get my self-confidence.I've had it for 7 years and still wear it to this day as a good luck charm.If i ever lose that necklace...i'd be hopeless without it.This necklace gives me good attitude and self-confidence when i'm in tough times ^_^ Quote
