A few things about summer...

[mercury_pheonix]

Well, finally, at the end of May, the sun has seen fit to grace this green and pleasant land with its presence, and we should all feel humbled and honoured by such a decision. Tuning into the rolling news channel this morning (skipping over the reports of water-skiing badgers and other such peculiarities, of course) and seeing that today will bring

I try to hide during summer; fair skin + a hole in the ozone layer = woe.

The sun hates me. It burns my skin (last summer my face was red), it brings up freckles on my face and it somehow manages to bleach my hair blonde. My look kind of depends on having dark hair - I'm a dark-haired girl, and I can't handle being blonde!

Also, I have such bad circulation that it has to be 20 degrees before I take my jacket off, so I often leave it on. Often, I'm so used to being cold and wearing the jacket, that I fail to notice I am overheating until I'm physically ill.

I feel so British, complaining about the weather when its cold and then complaining again when its hot. If we didn't have the weather we had, we'd be at a loss as to what to complain about - we'd never survive.

Our summer sunlight gets this toxic UV tingle to it :(

I actually invested in a parasol this summer; it is beautiful and I adore it.
And at least you have an excuse for complaining abut the weather (although I am technically British as well, kind of, so maybe that's where I get it from).

*hides from sun*

I quite like the cold, though. Good thing, too, since on a clear day in winter you can just about see Antarctica from the mountain above my city ;)

Good grief! What would they do if you were to flash an ankle? Get the vapours??

I love the sun, sadly it does not love me. I go a beautiful red colour, and then peel - attractive!

Much as I love the sun (and I do, I love the heat and the sunshine and the ability to dry things outdoors and sitting in parks eating ice cream), I hate the fact that I am never really comfortable in the sun! Goths and sunshine tend not to mix well, velvet, lace and layers not being known for their sun-friendly nature! Plus there's the whole make-up melting, shiney face aspect!

And New Rocks are not summer shoes, which is annoying, as they are comfy and sandals tend to rub my feet!

Shoulders? They're worried about shoulders? *boggles*

Good luck getting through exams and all the trials of summer. I hope your cold goes away soon. *stuffs a bowl of garlic soup through modem*

I love summer...until it's been here about 3 or 4 days, then I want spring or fall back. LOL.

25 degrees??? BRRRRRR. Oh wait. Celcius. Right.
