Dear Whoever-Is-Praying-for-Snow,

PLEASE STOP.

No love,

Me

*sigh*

And ours isn't even bad yet! We haven't had any since it all melted away last week, but it started up again tonight, and I'm scared to death of having to drive to work tomorrow!

In happier news, your icon is oh-so-appropriate!

*nods* Yeah. We haven't finished moving the 34" that fell this weekend to less annoying places, and now they're saying we've got another storm coming tomorrow around noon. *bigger sigh*

I cannot even imagine what 34" inches would be like. I cannot even imagine. Does everything just shut down and everyone stay inside? I'm...struggling to wrap my mind around this.

[identity profile] slaymesoftly.livejournal.com 2010-02-09 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Everything did shut down - the federal govt, schools, public transportation, etc. The request was for everyone to stay off the roads so that the plows could do their job. Today was the first time we ventured out. It took that long to clear the driveway and dig out my truck. I'm just trying to imagine another 10" or more on top of this and it makes me want to cry. :)

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-02-09 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. That's...crazy. And I don't blame you for feeling the need to cry.

Do you mind if I ask what state you're in? Feel free to not answer.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-02-09 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay. For some reason, I thought you were South-ish, Coast-ish, so that's about right. And that is a ton for y'all! Wow!

As a friend of mine would say, "Whoever's doing the snow dance needs to have their legs shot off!"

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-02-09 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
HAHAHA! I'm in love with your friend! That phrase has entered my lexicon, and I will use it with (possibly alarming) regularity (and enthusiasm!).

BUT I DON'T HAVE CLASS AGAIN TOMORROW. FIVE DAY WEEKENDDDD.

NO! IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO ARE DESTROYING MY LIFE! AND MY BRAKES!

Stupid still-in-school people. *huffs*

...am I allowed to pray for it? :)

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-02-09 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yes, you are. Because you're on the other side of the world, so your snow won't affect me!

And I'm sure you need something to cool you down, so pray away! You've got amnesty!

Currently, the temperature in my bedroom overnight is staying at 30 degrees (86F). Anything that would cool me down is very welcome...

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-02-09 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
See, and I'm fantasizing about 86 degrees. I'll take too-hot over too-cold any day.

But yes: that's very warm for indoors!

Isn't it awful?

*wants snow*

*whimpers*

Let's switch lives! You can come up here and have the snow and go to my boring job, and I'll have your humidity and attempt to teach your students!

Also, I want to be in your icon right now. In that dress, too. It is pretty.

I luvs my icon. It was so great seeing Buffy in real outdoors. And yes, the dress is pretty.

And I... kinda want a boring job. You know the Chinese curse? Yeah, that's my job. The housemate's husband is keeping a notebook with daily log entries of the latest craziness. Serious.

(Also, I sent you a ridiculous long email just now, about... stuff.

And also, just in case you didn't see, I wrote you a drabble this weekend.)

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-02-09 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! Real outdoors!

Ugh. I'm sorry it's rough right now. Are you just going to be there till summer?

I will read the long email and hopefully get back to you tonight but maybe not and if not: tomorrow!

And I did see that you'd posted it but didn't have time to read because of wonky internet and then! I forgot! So I'm so glad you reminded me!

Yeah. There were wistful discussions of high-tailing it mid-year, but at this point I'm pretty sure we're both sticking it out through the middle of June. You know how, when you're unemployed, you feel like you'd give anything just for some purpose? Right now I feel like I'd like a little less purpose, thanks. /wry

As of tomorrow evening, we could possibly have 50 inches in 5 days...

*wants snow just to see what it's like*

BTW, have you seen this meme? My mind went to you immediately!

[identity profile] petzipellepingo.livejournal.com 2010-02-09 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yup, we're getting 6 - 10 inches and 30 mph winds. Whee!

I rarely pray and for the one thing I pray for you tell me to stop?

YOU ARE THE FIRST TO MY BUFFY BITCH!
