glacier_kittyTop ten reasons Texas winters aren't real winters:
The week before the "cool front" comes, you're wearing a t-shirt and flip flops
As soon as people hear the words wintry mix, they rush out and buy enough groceries to get through the Apocalypse
The use of the words wintry mix makes you believe that some sort of seasonal treat will be falling from the sky
The sand from the road that blows around after the ice melts makes you feel like you're back in the old west
1/8 of an inch of sleet falls and the whole state shuts down
No matter how little slow falls, the roads always manage to get icy, making you car feel like a hockey puck on wheels
All snowmen end up under two feet tall due to lack of resources
The kids who are outside sledding are doing so in recycle bin tops
People tell horrific tales of a light layer of frost that covered their car in the morning. They state emphatically and with wide eyes that they almost couldn't see through their windshield
All major networks neglect any other news story in order to cover the "tundra-like conditions"
We're translating poems of Catullus in Latin now...I like Ovid better haha
Today's Latin: circumit ad idem, unde profectum est, reveniet (what goes around, comes around)
"Did they die for God and glory, drowned in mist, cast from the light, trapped inside the line of fire, vale of tears, passage of shame on this day of doom?"--"And Hecate Smiled," Virgin Steele

Date: 2007-02-07 12:35 am (UTC)And aw, I love Catullus! He was so dirty though. I don't know. I think I like him and Ovid equally, haha. In my Latin class we're reading The Illiad, which is actually not Latin at all, but I think it's way more interesting than The Aeneid!

Concerning the "All snowmen end up under 2' tall due to lack of resources" I remember seeing pictures of people's snowmen this past winter in Phoenix, AZ and Malibu, CA, and they were so sadly pathetic, hahaha!

You lucky Texan, you.
