Dec. 19th, 2012 10:59 pmI was all set late last night to post a "booyah!" because I'd posted my Yuletide story, but then I saw morgan dawn's post about ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
taverymate having passed away in October, and my heart just broke. She was such a good fan friend to me, always giving me wonderful things like spindlesful of CDs with online vids on them back when I couldn't access online vids, and music, and all manner of things. She always had a kind comment, too, and was just such an all-round nice person. I feel just crushed by this news. So no crowing here.
Now I'm trying to catch up to Festivids, but this has made me feel really not like doing anything. I did spend the evening clipping. Not much else to do -- it's pouring epic rain and there's high winds. I'm so, so sick of this. The past three years have been rain, rain, rain, and more rain. We never dry out until August, and then we're right back into it. It wasn't like this when I grew up here. If there was ever a perfect picture of just how real climate change is, it would be the Pacific Northwest. We're like the opposite of the climate change horrorshow that's going on in Australia. It's depressing me, and I'm always cold and wet, and so, so sick of it. There's a parking lot I have to park in when I go to my workouts, and the past week there's been a lake in one part of the lot. I mean, it's actually big enough to be a lake. And they don't seem to be interested in doing anything about it. Now there's a waterfall coming off the lake, where a rockery and trees are being washed away. And I don't think anyone's even noticing that that tree's gonna fall over because there's now no soil to hold it up. It's a metaphor for how crappy all this heavy, heavy rain is making me feel.
I gotta move somewhere there's sun.
