And let the evil commence

Daylight savings ended yesterday and everyone around me is depressed.

...

Which has me thrilled to bits. Mwahaaha. Me likes it when other people a grumpy.

No seriously. I've always hated Summer with a passion, and I'm treated like some sort of antisocial nutjob because of it. Now, I *am* an antisocial nutjob, but not for THAT reason.

Even in casual conversation between normal people, I 'pretend' to think the way that summer lovin' bunnies do. I pretend to agree with them that it's a beautiful day, and that we'd better enjoy it because when Winter comes we'll miss these days.

Pffft! Patooey!

I get very tired and often, depressed in Summer. I have no energy, but cannot sleep because of the heat. Having a fan in the bedroom does nothing, it just blows the heat around, like a hairdryer. I initially started exercising twice, three times a day just so I would get so tired physically that I could get some sleep. And while the exercise is exhausting, it wasn't as exhausting as the lack of sleep.

But now! Daylight savings has ended! I don't need to wake up in the dark anymore, we can do Body Jam at night with the darkness around us - feels just like a night club, yo. Light in the morning, dark in the evening makes SO much more sense to me than the other way around.

And while everyone around me grumbles, I, inside, will be doing a happy dance.

<_<

Yeah, I'm not exactly a summer fan myself. Although, I'm not a winter fan either. Spring and Autumn are my season :D

Autumn is my favourite season. It pisses me off a bit when Summer ends and people go "Ewwwwwww, winter is here..." I'm like, you STOOPID people, have you completely forgotten about THE WHOLE OTHER SEASON KNOWN AS AUTUMN?!

I'm just happy that Daylight savings is over. I definitely am a creature of the night.

I too, love the winter time. Summer is fine, but lately boiling, even where I live in the mountains. I look forward to the quiet peace of winter. Fall and Spring are definitely favorites, although we seem to see less and less of them. I'm so glad your season has arrived!

While I share your pain on summer heat, I just don't get those people who like light mornings and dark nights.
I guess it's a result of too many dawn training sessions in my uni rowing days, but these days I just don't 'do' mornings.

Autumn is my favourite season too! Mostly because I love cardigans :)

k - It's interesting, we seem to get less Autumn and Spring, the transition seasons, which is a bit of a shame, since they be my favourites :-(

WundaLucy - I guess for me it's because if I wake up when its dark outside, it means 'the night isn't over yet, you should still be sleeping!'. As for the dark nights, I like going home knowing that the day has ended, not that there is a significant chunk of the day still to go. Which makes Autumn and Winter that much more peaceful and relaxed than when people run around like mad doing activities 'because it's light outside'.

I do not really like summer either but also I do not like winter. I am more a fan of Spring and Autumn.

Autumn and winter are my fave seasons too. Can always rug up, can't get more naked than naked, and ya still sweat!

But, mostly I love warm days, and cool nights.

superstar - I prefer Autumn and Spring to Winter, but by a long shot, I prefer Winter to Summer. I think Summer is the only season I actively hate.

Kada - Hmmm, I actually like cool, crisp days and cool, crisp nights. I love coats. There ain't be any of those in Summer!
