The joys of Summer

Gerard_Smith

Well summer is here once again. Picnics. Walks in the park. Young lovers enjoying the glorious sunshine and the sweet smell of flowers in the air. Awwww. And while all that’s going on im hiding under the nearest tree smearing goop on my face desperately trying to avoid direct sunlight while the sweet smell of flowers is causing my eyes and nose to water in a must unpleasant manner. No im not a vampire, nor am I a voyeur spying on those young lovers (although…) Nor am I even some form of magical eye/noses fluid dispenser. No I have a problem with sunlight. Summer sunlight. If im out in it unprotected for more that 10 minutes I burn, quite badly. And by cruel twist of fate I also have bad hay fever, which in turn can trigger off my bad asthma. And that’s REALY bad. Why am I wrighting this you ask? I HATE SUMMER! And I cant be the only one. Even if you don’t hate summer there must be aspects you hate. So I post this here asking you to share you summer horror stores. Allergies, fear of bugs, or stuff that happens in summer but is in no way linked to it, such as exams or a mighty space creature attacking your car? Please share and help spread the hate.


Oh and flip-flops I hate flip-flops to!

I hate trying to do things when it's really really hot, like going into town is hell!
But I love this weather for sitting outside....and studying. :mad: :rolleyes:

I dislike the heat. It makes me sleepy.

There is only one thing to do when the weather gets like this, buy a pair of black sunglasses and walk up and down Grafton Street and its surrounding regions and perv at all the scantily clad ladies !!!! :cool:


Also nothing better then a cool pint in a beer garden soaking up the sun..

Beer gardens are great alright!

I have to say I love the Summer - it puts me in a great mood! I love the long evenings - nothing worse then going to work when it's dark and coming home and it's dark again!

I hate the way Irish people go mad with the first sign of sun - everyone is burnt and have stupid tan lines!!

Summer rocks!!:D

For all you Hay fever sufferers - get the jab - it's great!

i dislike people who use the word random so loosely.

If you judge people by how they construct sentences then your missing out in life. I may occasional take stylistic liberties with the language, but I still have pint of milk in my fridge. Now stop being judgmental.

Oh and that bit about the fridge, now that was random. :P

Now back to summer!

is trying to barge your way up grafton street through all the basstarding tourists i hate them argghhhhhhhhh.

That and over affectionate displays of public affection ie; the gits in the middle of stephens green wearing the face of each other. no one minds the odd kiss of young lovers but dry riding by the pond **** that send em all home.

I hate this two things ..... there will be more to come.

i hate having to be at work when the sun is beating down outside... and all your mates are in the park enjoying the finer things in life, like the odd tokey tokey here and there... and you have to serve damn customers who're goin out into the sunshine that you can't get out in..... and then there's screaming kids who have no reason to scream but they do it anyway... but hey summer is good

Groovy Mover

I have to say I enjoy Summer much more now as I'm not a student anymore - studying when the sun was shining was a nightmare! I'd convince myself that I could study sitting out the back garden but never got a tap done! Especially when the poxy kids next door would have the paddling pool out!!

I do miss the 3 months off all the same!!

I have to say that I loathe "isms" or the extreme in all things - that includes the weather, and me being Canadian, "I am just soooo screwed!" Like the starter of this interesting tread of post, I too suffer from both hay fever (gotta love the bloodshot, itchie eyes & that perpetual river of snot running out of one's nose), and am easily burnt by the sun - seems almost prosaic that I write books about vampires If these attractive traites where not enough, I also have a crap set of lungs that get a tad wonkie when it's too hot or too cold - this tends to put a damper on my running, so I'm out speed walking my neighborhood streets before dawn!

My favorite seasons are fall - for the amazing colors that it brings before it slowly dies, and Spring - to witness the rebirth of nature... I also love the smell of fresh falling rain - but I'm odd that way

Canadian winters are wicked deadly to say the least.... I'm talking "cold" - a bitter, cutting kind of cold that seeps into the very marrow of your bones and holds to you like slow death. To help soften, to counter the often - if not always unforgiving cold, there's an inate beauty to the eb and flow, the moving waves of snow, and how the moonlight seems to shine off of every flake, as if the sky itself has fallen to the ground....

Hmmm, waffled on there didn't I?

Sorry!

But yeah summer does and can suck
