I don't like the summer.

The sun hurts my eyes and I have to frown even when wearing shades.

I burn.

It becomes difficult to breathe.

Hayfever screws up my sinuses.

It becomes difficult to move without getting clammy.

I overheat and it messes with my patience.


I try to tell 'normal' people these things are what drive me indoors during what passes for summer in this blessedly overcast country but they inevitably look at me like I'm mad and ask 'how can you not like being in the sun?'

I would repeat myself but there doesn't seem to be any point as they won't ever understand.

Damn thats pretty much how I feel. I don't mind warm weather (except the hard to breathe bit when london atmosphere becomes cloying) but I can't stand bright sunshine. Overcast skies, drizzle and dull days where you don't get a smegging headache from the unacustomed glare are my thing. I was begining to think I was abnormal (no comments, oh ok go ahead I don't mind). The only reason I agreed to go to Rhodes in august with my mates was because I'm interested in history, especially byzantine and the crusades. Two bleedin weeks of brightness.
Hah.
Whilst I see your point about staying in Scotland cos of the goth girlies, I did'nt get the chance as my parents moved to London when I was a kid. I no longer mind as the women in camden area, hell loads of area's, are pretty impressive. Still, variety is the spice of life, I may have to visit Scotland again soon to check things out.
