It is hot. Oh my god it is so fucking hot. Yesterday a candy bar melted in my room. It wasn't in the light from a window, it wasn't in my pocket next to my hot hot thighs, no, it was just HANGING OUT in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT and it FRICKING MELTED that is how hot it is in my house. No, the A/C isn't broken; just imagine how hot it is outside

sucksville :(
we actually had a nice couple of days - i expect that to end any time soon with sweltering heat or torrential rain... possibly both at once

i haven't actually slept in the last 5 days b/c i was so hot and uncomfortable

[kayliemalinza]

I heard some thunder this afternoon so hopefully the heat wave is ending. ::fingers crossed::

If it's been nice, why were you too hot to sleep? :(

[kel_reiley]

it was nice outside, but it's really REALLY hot upstairs in my room :(
we have no a/c
also, that whole insomnia thing

[kayliemalinza]

Do your windows open? Do you have fans? They help a lot. :/

I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE not having A/C installed, though I have been repeatedly told that many houses in the North do not.

idk if you want advice, or if you've tried this already, but:

I've found, with my insomnia, that if I try to go to sleep at a scheduled time, before I'm properly tired, I just end up lying away for hours and being irritated. So I stay up getting things done until I'm exhausted, and then I go to bed. Also if I've been in bed but not asleep for longer than an hour, I just get up, because otherwise it because a ~~thing.

*fans you, thinking of my summers with my grandparents who live in Jamaica, and laughs*

(That's where my family's from. I no longer have any kind of sexy accent, alas.)

[kayliemalinza]

Was that sympathy? Because it DIDN'T SOUND LIKE IT. >O

srsly though, whenever people talk about "tropical paradise" I want to slap them.

[rubynye]

Call it commiseration. *grin*

And I hear you. I *so* hear you.

[kayliemalinza]

...I am still unconvinced of your sincerity.

HOWEVER, it was much cooler today, and you write me invisible snippets, so I will forgive you.

P.S. The local newspaper published the signs of heat stroke yesterday. omfg. Maybe there's no excuse in a tropical climate, which doesn't properly have hot/cold seasons, but Savannah is delightful for nine months out of the year and downright dangerous the other three. WHY IS THERE TOURISM IN THE SUMMER. WHY. THAT IS SO STUPID. TOURISTS ARE STUPID. MILEY CYRUS IS STUPID. EVERYTHING IS STUPID.

...ok, I'm done. ::sits quietly::

My condolences re: your father and brother.
I'm so, so, so sorry for you. :(

And for me, too, because I will have to live with nasty sticky summers next year, oh god. D:

I shall therefore wallow in my perfect Oakland weather-or-lack-thereof as long as I can. :P

[kayliemalinza]

I did see my father a few minutes ago so apparently the evaporated was reversible. IDK about the brother, tho.

O RLY!
WHERE ARE YOU GOING!
AND WHY!

[captain_bookcat]

Hm. He re-condensed? There is hope for your brother then, also.

I AM GOING ACROSS THE CONTINENT FOR COLLEGE.
MORE SPECIFICALLY, NEW YORK.

[kayliemalinza]

BUT WON'T YOU COME HOME FOR THE SUMMER

AND WHAT COLLEGE IS IT

[possibly_thrice]

Canada is niiiiice and cool. I AM SO SORRYYYY.

[kayliemalinza]

WHY DON'T YOU JUST STAY THERE UNTIL NOVEMBER AND SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT

Your sympathy is appreciated. :)
