so friends...i have emerged from the darkness.
well actually all us Portlanders have finally emerged from the dark. it is finally summer - mid july.
remind me again why i live here. i find it a really interesting idea. that i live in a state that although it is beautiful has no real appeal for me. yes my family is here, and there are things that i like however there are for more things that i really cant stand. such as the weather. i hate the weather.
let me say it again for those who didn't understand me the first time...
I HATE THE WEATHER.
i found the funniest thing in regards to portlanders and the weather - that we think that the sun is a ufo.
i have decided that i think that the "sun" in portland is really more of a government expirment to see how long we can go without all going completly stir crazy before they actually show us the sun. sort of like the truman show. i hate it. my least favorite part of it is the humidity - it finally gets nice and its sticky beyond comprehension...
i would apologize for my bitching..but i can't. i really can't.
it makes me so sad - no sad is not the word...i dont know what the word is. however i think of the coast..i love the "coast" actually i love the beach...we dont have a beach we have the coast...its rocky and the water is cold and it usually rains. i want to swim in the ocean (and not need to cover myself from head to toe in a neoprene body condom) i want to go and spend the day in the sun on the beach...not take my rain coat always.
i do like central oregon...in the summer when it is HOT and i can play in Sunriver at the pool and wear my swimsuit all day and at night it gets cold. i love it there...but that is not the oregon that i live in. i also love that it snows there too...
but back to the portland sun...i do find it amusing that as an oregonian, i dont own an umbrella...if i ever do i lose them instantly and i dont really know how to use one...i would think that its better to catch rain water and purify it for something great like brewing beer. and everytime i am with someone who is using one i am always the person who takes an umbrella to the eye. not fun.
i am also the oregonian who the moment it hits 60 believes that it is shorts and flip flop weather...if i get a little chilly thats what a hoody is for and yes i do wear shorts in the rain. but if i did i would only get to wear shorts at soccer and a few days a year and i cant handle that.
so i ask myself again why? why oh why do i live here in oregon...
happy reading.
