Hot hot heat

[cleolinda]

I hate when they turn the heat on. I hate it--I hate the smell of it, I hate the whistling noise it makes against the air vents once I close them, I hate that my windows are hermetically sealed and impossible to open. It's my sister who turns the heat on upstairs--she gets cold and I get hot, that's the story of our living together

At least you have heat. Campus here is heated by steam, and apparently they've been doing some maintenance all summer and won't be able to have heat back up and running until next week. Which'd be fine, if it weren't 30°F this mornin'. Aie. Am considering using coffee only as hand-warming-liquid and not happy-drinky-bean-juice, which is nigh unto an unforgivable heresy. October makes heretics of us all.

Anne Rice promises to now write only for the Lord.

Amen. I guess I have to go build a church now, don't I?

dude... my campus was all "It's going to be too expensive to heat this year. So some dorms have no heat.

...and we're in Maine.

Good holy cow. That's insane. Hell, I'd keep it on in the summer just to make sure. I think you're legally justified in starting bonfires indoors now....

The dorms at SUNY Potsdam (upstate NY, on the Canadian border) were never heated very well. I'm at Ithaca College now, because SUNY Potsdam was bad in more ways than just the lack of heat (grr). Anyway...other than the cold weather, I like Maine (Mom's from Waterville, Maine - grandparents are still there -, and my aunt and uncle run Wilson Pond Camps on Moosehead Lake). It's not so bad.

Oh yeah, I'm used to it- I lived in Maine for 10 years. Actually, I mock the Californians. But it's the principle of the thing, dammit.

Heh. Don't get me wrong though. I <3 Maine forever.

Actually, I mock the Californians

Heh...probably for the same reason that I mock the Floridians. It could be 60 degrees, and some of them would think it was cold. I looked at Bowdoin, by the way. Thought about going, but...it didn't work out. Money, I think, but I can't remember (I'm a New York resident). Parents went to University of Maine in Orono. Love Black Bear hockey, the both of them.

Hehe. I have a bunch of friends that are at UMO. :) So we've got Polar Bear and Black Bear Pride intermingled. Good times, that.

:) Yay for schools.

...you know, one of the Californians came without a winter jacket. We had to drag her to L.L. Bean to get something... you know.... poufy and not cute and WARM. 'twas funny.

Isn't that a public health hazard, not heating dormitories?

[lacrimaeveneris]

Oh, they're trying, but things are going a little wonky. And, apparently, when they're fixed, they are set to not go over 68. Dammit.
