[a_little_wisp]

My guess is that when summer ends you'll have plenty of time at work to sit and read comics, right? Go ahead and read The Count of Monte Cristo - it's a great read! This is funny because it's opposite for me - in summer I have to catch up on my comics because during school I'm busy pouring over the classics and essays ... I say, since you're a workin' dude, save your pleasure reads for when you're gonna need them. <3 Comics though.

In the hot summer, do you prefer to have: the windows open (and have it be hot) or close the windows and turn on the air conditioning?

Really Cold

salt water or fresh water

[farnoosh]

It's funny, but I like both. There's something strong and hardy about being out in the freezing cold, numbing my face, my visible breath, that I really enjoy. I sometimes go for walks at night in -20 (f) just to listen to the stillness. Likewise, I like the hot weather too -- I even work outside mid-day just to enjoy heat of physical labor on a hot summer day.
