I hate Summer

December 22nd, 2007 by Hikaru

You know, I really don’t get what people LIKE about summer. It’s hot, sticky… hot… there’s a lot of sun, it’s dry… I hate the sun, I really do. I don’t like sunbathing (my skin is too pale for it to be healthy), I hate the sand, and the ocean here is too cold, so I don’t do swimming either (not to mention I dislike being in swimsuit).

A bunch of people ask me how I’ll cope with Canada’s extended, cold winter months. Mostly because I am really bad at extreme temps, and I get cold easily. But GAH I hate being hot! Heat nullifies me like Kryptonite does to SuperMan! I can’t do anything but hibernate when the temp goes up and that’s not productive at all!

I hate Paperwork too

So dad’s been pulling my ear (over Skype) lately because I’m so slow in getting paperwork done. I gotta renew my passport, but University so they give me my title, go to the doctor, yadda yadda. My greatest problem for all this is it requires leaving the house.

That, for me, is an ordeal.

Doing regular-life stuff, the thing that is considered ‘normal’ for me is a nightmare. A nightmare that is augmented by heat and a shitty local transportation system.

So my dad’s response is to get up earlier “like normal people”. Heck when have I ever been normal? I frankly can’t get up any earlier than 10am without a struggle, and if I did get up earlier, I’d be going out at rush hour, which means no seats on bus or subways, and being pushed and squished and probably mugged on my way to wherever it is I need to go.
