04 sep 06 "Does the weather affect your answers?" probably not, because i don't think the weather affects my mood much. or, if it does, it's in extremely subtle ways. for instance, i'm not always filled with joy when the weather is sunny/breezy/70 degrees, and i don't always hate life when it's piddling rain and 40 degrees. at least the answer is "not significantly". my mood certainly affects my writing. but since the weather doesn't affect my mood, the weather doesn't affect my writing. i'm starting to feel retarded. maybe it's because of the weather. HAHA. shit. i should wait before answering these questions until i'm feeling better, because i'm feeling shitty today. i'd say that the more depressed i am, the more weak, subdued, and uninteresting my writing tends to be. but when i'm happy and energetic, it's full of evil and vitriol, and fun for y'all to read. but now, i just don't have the energy to be an asshole. but yes -- i think what you really wanted to know was "do your answers depend on some external circumstances?" and the answer is "probably, i think" (see above). but i don't care about the weather, unless it rains for days in a row, at which point i worry that the perriwinkle is going to get over-watered. if it's sunny for days in a row, i find it a little bit exhausting, but not devastating. i just feel along with the earth for water. i like rainy days. everything is more subdued; people aren't outside running around making noises, the birds aren't singing, and theres not as much light. there's not so much sensory overstimulation, and it makes it that much easier for me to deal with reality. i love the feel of 20F, 10F, or -10F air on my skin, as long as i'm internally warm. and if i'm moving at all, this is usually not a problem for me. i don't actually mind the heat and humidity too much either, provided there's respite somewhere. ie, i wouldn't want to have to sleep in it. i was working outside during the last maryland heat wave (temperature in the 100's, heat index near 120), and it wasn't that bad, once i started to sweat. it was pouring off of me, and i basically had to drink a continuous stream of water the whole day, but i didn't feel uncomfortably hot -- just drippy. i resorted to a bandana, and was accused by colleagues of doing so for fashion reasons. don't get me wrong -- maryland summers are disgusting and uncivilized; it's just that i don't despise them as much as i used to. i've driven pizza in the winter and co-workers were astounded by my wearing a short sleeved shirt. i'd get overheated otherwise -- i'm not trying to be tough or anything. like a lot of people, i love dangerous and extreme weather conditions -- i'd love to one day see a tornado, except i probably wouldn't be too pleased if it ploughed through my house, especially if i didn't have time to grab some things first:
anyway, i don't care. i'm going to go do something else. sorry. |
