• Snow!

   

  Snow.

  It’s everywhere. Literally, everywhere. I’m used to it; I’ve lived in Michigan all my life. But Northern Michigan seems to have like pi times as much snow! It’s crazy.

  Don’t get me wrong, I like snow. It’s fun, poetic, and can be used to bury the car of someone you don’t care for (). It might have to do with the fact that I love the cold. I’d rather have it be 20 degrees than 120 anyday. Maybe because heat induces migraines, but cold doesn’t (at least for me). The downside is that swimming in the winter isn’t as fun as swimming in the summer. But indoor pools kinda solve that problem. Anywho, as one friend put it, I am cool with the cold.

  Also, with snow, comes sledding.Sledding is always loads of fun, and someone almost always gets hurt. I remember one of the first times I went sledding, I only went down the hill one time, then got ran over twice trying to come up the hill. Not fun. But usually sledding is fun.

  And skiing! I love skiing! It was the subject of my first break-out post (here), and I make sure to go every year. So much fun, and great stories! A moment of silence for those who didn’t make it down the hill…

   

   

   

  But one of the worst things about snow is…

  Snowball fights.

  I can’t stand them! For one, I’m the biggest target, so I’m usually the one in the cross-hairs. And my snowballs never seem to find their mark, it’s not that I have bad aim cuz I’m pretty good at dodge ball. It’s something about the snow…it doesn’t like me. And then, for the rest of the day, I have to walk around wet. I HATE wet clothes. So I decided from now on, if I am assaulted by said puffs of frozen water, I shall react with physical force…
