ladyskydiver 0 #1 December 13, 2008 So, I'm off to the great white north for Christmas and New Years. I've passed 2nd and have 3 weeks to rest up, relax, destress , and prepare for 3rd semester. The scariest thing? I've come to think that 74F at night can be "chilly." WTF am I going to do when I get home and 20F is a "high?" *shudder* Just in case I'm not online again before the New Year... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody! Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

WTF am I going to do when I get home and 20F is a "high?" *shudder* hehe...I know how you feel. I had to laugh at myself a couple days back when I was thinking about my holiday plans and was trying to find a jacket I could take because it would be a lot colder up in Atlanta. I can't even imagine going through a northern winter any more. Snowing in Nebraska when up there for work in May was all the winter I need for another decade.Killing threads since 2004.

SuFantasma 0 #11 December 15, 2008 Quote Are you coming or just breathing hard?Sorry I couldn't resist! Well, due to the span of time between my post and this post, I must informed you that my previous post should not be written in past tense... (at least until I am done skydiving)..... But if you start breathing until I am back, we can go back to re-conjugating the verb.Y yo, pa' vivir con miedo, prefiero morir sonriendo, con el recuerdo vivo". - Ruben Blades, "Adan Garcia" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
