Re: So what's the weather like where you live?
People from Southern California are pretty delusional. They pretty much have no idea that other things happen in other parts of the country. They are the definition of people living in a bubble, and their personality shows. They love 80 degrees in January. To them, it's a feature. Part of the spoiled personality. And, since people like this, plays a factor in cost of living here.
I like looking out a window and not being confused whether it's Martin Luther King Day or Memorial Day. Personally I can deal with there not being any action weather-wise, but what I can't deal with is people acting like their first child is being murdered in front of them if it rains a day or two in a row, or if the temperature dips below 65. Like it's a personal affront. I prefer when it rains, because that means less people are out on the roads and it doesn't take me half an hour to drive 5 miles.
I enjoy seasons. Being from Central California, "seasons" to me aren't like seasons to most. There weren't blizzards, ice storms, etc. It would be in the 40s/50s during the day in the winter, with lows in the 20s/30s, and lots of rain and fog. Summers would be 95+ and dry. Fresno summers were pretty damn hot. Would often get up and over 107, 108 during the day, not dipping below 75 at night. I never LOVED the hot weather, but I dealt with it because I knew in a couple months, it would be gone. It was fair and you get a semblance of excitement from one season to the next. Here in LA, why should I care that it's summertime if I can just as easily go to the beach in January here? Why should I get extra excited about the holiday seasons when it's 80 degrees out? I know it's weird to base feelings based on that, but that's what happens.
But I've talked about this subject ad nauseum. I'll never really get used to it.
