We're getting our first snowflakes of the year right now. You know, I really used to like snow until I had to start driving in it, and now I just hate it whenever I have to drive when it's snowing because I'm always worried about slip-sliding on the roads and crashing into something (or worse yet, someone). I'm especially worried because my twenty-year-old Camry doesn't exactly make me feel like I'll be safe in the event that I am involved in a crash. (That being said, there's still no way I'll buy or drive in an SUV. Crap, I actually typed SVU there first, which just goes to show you where my mind's at right now.)
This weekend I bought a new coat for the first time in about five years. My old coat was a very lightweight one, which I usually supplemented with fleeces in order to stay warm, but this new one is a genuine winter coat, and it's doing a good job of keeping me warm here so far. Still, I often find myself wishing that I could live in a more temperate climate where I wouldn't have to worry about the extremes of weather. (That being said, I couldn't live in California because of my fear of earthquakes, nor could I live in Florida because of the hurricanes. Yes, I have a metric fuckload of irrational fears, thanks for asking.)
What do people have planned over Thanksgiving weekend? Wednesday I don't have classes but I have to go to campus to get my paycheque; Thursday I'll be keeping up my Thanksgiving tradition of watching MST3k and eating waffles. I'd like to visit people over the rest of the break, but I have a feeling this isn't really a good time for any of you (who live within driving distance) to have visitors. Hopefully some of us will be able to get together over winter break, because I really miss all of you! ;.;
