So my cousin told me to write about Summer. Which is stupid, because who wants to read a post about the weather?
I've never been much of like, a hot weather person. Because people expect me to go to the beach and wear revealing clothing and I'm always uncomfortable and I get sun burnt. I don't like the beach because people think that I'm actually one of those silver things that people put around their heads and reflect light, I'm so fucking pale. And sand gets all up in your shit, and then when you go in to the water, its fun because you get to play in the waves. But I'm weak and almost drowned one time because I was enjoying myself too much. Then you try and walk back and you realize the sand has glued to your feet and someone kicked more sand all over your towel and you're just in this constant state of uncomfortableness.
And its not that I mind wearing just nice dresses. Because then you never get into the situation where your jacket fucks up your whole outfit. But then, you know, you've only got one thing to wear and so... I don't know, some times its stupid and uncomfortable. And you have to be tanned, which = me not being.
There are all these people being like "Can't wait for Summer!" and like "Summer, woo! best time of the year" and then they reminisce on all the fun summer times that other people have had that they see through cool peoples facebook photos. That's what I do. I have this warped perception of summer being that amazing time where me and all my surfer friends went on a road trip to the beach and listened to Nada Surf and had parties in beer gardens and had an awesome time getting high and falling in love.
But of course, that never actually happened because nothing cool ever happens to me. I'm always the ugly one on the side in disposable-beauty photos.
I hate summer because its sticky and you feel bad if you're not outside.
Of course its great because I'm not at school and you can go anywhere and not have to wear tights all the time and you don't get rained on. And summer also means Christmas and New Years for Australians so that's always great.
But other than that, people just make shit up about summer because they pretend like they have awesome lives.

I like cold weather because you can always get rid of being cold by hugging someone or burrowing in your doona. When its hot, you're just fucked.
But then again, people have warped perception of winter as being this romantic time where everyones always drinking hot chocolates in bed, listening to the rain patter on the window and reading some really soulful book. Then they'll go outside and kiss their loving partner while its pouring in the rain and you'll be really cute hiding your face in your warm as fuck scarf.
But then you look in the mirror when you get home and realise you're the fucking ugliest drowned rat you've ever seen and your blazer smells like wet dog.
Winter actually sucks because when you go out at night you're always cold and its usually raining so you get wet and your jacket is ruins everything. No one ever looks nice in winter unless they are inside. Everyone's all pale and disgusting looking because everyone thinks that they'll just be wearing heaps of clothes all the time. Then you realize you haven't shaved your legs in three weeks and you're wearing your sports uniform.

No one needs to mention Spring and Autumn because they're just like the unknown people that sit on the outside circle at lunch time.
