3% closer to the sun but it's winter


proof global warming is a hoax

I once wrote a corruscating jewel of a poem and submitted it to a webzine called aphelion.

Maybe it's the perpetually depressed teenager still rotting away inside of me, but I prefer when it gets dark around 5:00 during the winter. It absolutely annoys me when we're balls deep in summer and it's 8:45 and still light out.

I am the opposite

Leaving work when it's dark makes me think there's nothing left of life but to go to bed

By about Feb's end I start to believe life will always feel this way

When springs first blush hits me, when the sun becomes an actual source of warmth rather than a cruel spotlight for my shivering, only then do I believe again in the promise of our days

[redbreegull]

I thought it was universally agreed on that it fucking sucks and is depressing as shit when you wake up and it's dark and when you leave work it's dark

I mean FUCK that what kind of twisted person wants it to be dark all the time

[redbreegull]

when I come home I turn on all the lights in the living room (I know bad habit) because I just hate the oppressive dark slithering into every corner

[FoolofaTook]

Fuck no. the darker the better.

i wish i could move to alaska for winter smoke meth listen to sunn and write an epic fantasy poem about the duel twixt Fingolfin and Morgoth.

All energy comes from the sun. Love it and respect it (protect your skin from UV damage).

The moon is just as important. Down with monotheism.

how much nuclear fusion is happening inside the moon

[crabshack]

the moon was such a bad date nobody ever visited again.

earth ghosted the moon.

[crabshack]

I blame christians

[crabshack]

I bet if the moon was tweeting about the X-Men there would be more interest.

Yours truly, apparently.

I like my mornings and evenings like I like my coffee...

A little bit goes a long way. The sun is kind of like a family member to me. It's nice to see it, but not necessarily to see it all the time.

This isn't really a depression thing. I feel more motivated and more focused in the dark, winter months. I do better writing, I get more creative, more motivated, my moods feel more balanced and I just generally feel better about life.

there's an old irish or scottish saying (can't remember because i'm dumb) but they take coffee "as black as the devil and as sweet as a stolen kiss"

I wish I took coffee with sugar so I could say that. Just Satan for me, thanks.

[FlamingGlobes]

It kind of goes hand in hand with my feelings about summer and warm weather. I'd rather bundle up and brave the cold than walk around suffering in a T-shirt and shorts in the warmth.

I take a bit of sugar with mine, so I'm totally stealing that. Thanks!

Remember those days when you were in grade school and recess got rained out? You're in this giant room with bright lights and just outside the windows is this greyish green wet world that seems untouchable and so calming? That was me.
