so basically I'm in the stretch of a midwestern winter where I am only capable of dreaming of spring. you'd think this would put me in a good, springy mood, but you would be wrong. it's this time of year, when I haven't seen the sun in days, and it's snowing/raining/water falling from the sky, and windy, and bleak as all hell, that I wonder if i

Lady GaGa is TOTALLY outside my range of anything I could possibly enjoy musically....yet I can't get enough of her music. I think she must have made a deal with the devil or something. It's the only way I can explain the way I'm inexplicably drawn to her music.

I was just talking to someone the other day about how when I lived in the Twin Cities, this was the time of year I started to head into a deep, dark, severe funk. (Actually, maybe I wrote that in LJ instead of talking about in conversation. I get confused between the two sometimes.) Winter in Minn. was AWFUL for me. It was so long and cold and dark and miserable and depressing. I can handle winter here because we get so much sunshine that even on bitter, freezing cold days, I can still get tons of Vitamin D.

How did you find a book club to get involved in? I'd love to find one but don't know where to start.

god i'm glad I'm not the only one. Lady Gaga is like a drug, i just need my fix. for some reason, i feel like that's her motive, to get people like us to the dark side... or at least the bad-lyric side.
winter in Minnesota can be pretty awful. you'd think since i grew up in the midwest i'd be used to it, but it seems to get me ever year.
the book club i'm in is with one of my coworkers and some of her and my acquaintances. but last year I was in a book club which, if you can believe it, i found through Craig's list. a little sketchy, probably, but it worked out well until i moved to St. Paul and the trek to Minneapolis wasn't worth the hour-long bus ride. good luck!

I was just telling my roommate the other day that we should get one of those fake sunshine lamps. I've been feeling dreary and not-right for the past week, and I think it's due to lack of sun. I don't remember it being this bad in the past, or maybe I'm just noticing it harder since I spent so much time outside this summer and got acclimated to that, and haven't acclimated back to constant grayness.

And yes, Lady Gaga. :) I have a fondness for pop music, mostly because it cheers me up and makes me dance around like a dork. Gets me through the day when I'm sitting at my desk looking at the grey outside.

i hear ya. i don't know what it is about this winter, but it does seem to be producing long-ass stretches of gray days. sun lamps are a good idea. i love those heating lamps they have at some of the bus stops. lol
and yes, dancing around like a dork to Lady Gaga definitely cheers me up. i gotta give her props for that.

Winter bahs

Yeah I think this winter is getting to me also. TOo much Grey skies and heavy rains were I am. I am trying to take a pottery class on Thursday (first night) to keep my mind off of things going around me. Winter makes depression had to fight
