Fall
I hate fall. It's a time of death, darkness and cold. Everything about the fall is uncomfortable for me. I know it's only making room for new things to come after the winter. And I know I could look forward to spring rather than dwell in a presence I don't like. It's just... This summer has been so short... On hot days I go to work in short pants, and spend the day barefoot. I did that on one single day this year. I like it warm. For me it can't get hot enough in the summer. I like sun and light. I hate thick layers of clothing, rain, clouds, gushing winds that spray freezing water into your face, I hate those days when you get wet from below, even though you're carrying an umbrella (Has anyone noticed, by the way, that rain almost always comes together with a wind that's just strong enough to make it almost impossible to hold that umbrella steady?) I hate to step down from my nice warm bed in the darkness of the early morning, where it's cold and unfriendly.
I must admit, this time of year does have it's moments though. Like when you go to work at 7:30, and that big, giant orange ball just passes up above the horizon. Then I stop on the bridge over the river, watching it for a moment as it rises, and it's light passes through the shreds of mist that curl up from the still warmer water of the river, until I can feel it's warming touch on my cheek.
I'm looking forward to the CFD. I really am. It will be the last larger furry event we're attending this season, and with Suhlvester not happening and us having missed the chance to register for FoF, I'm terribly, terribly afraid of the ... *grown* ... 6 or 7 months until our next furmeet happens. Also something I really hate about this season. I do hope for something spontaneous to happen though.
