LJ Idol Season 11 Week 8: My True North

[xlovebecomesher]

I hate everything about winter. I hate having to wear long sleeves, sweaters, and jackets. I don't want to have to layer clothes to have to keep warm. I have no desire for the temperatures to ever get below 40 degrees, let alone 32 degrees. Never mind the 10 degree windchill.  When it gets dark at 5 PM, I find it absolutely depressing. I don't find

I would LOVE to go to Antarctica to hang out with penguins!

I don't mind layering up - having lived in Chicago for years - but I do hate the biting cold something fierce. I don't blame people who vacation to warmer places during winter one bit, lol.

I've heard Chicago is awfully cold in winter!

This is another reason why we're sisters from another mister!

Minnesota is plenty cold enough for me! What a unique fascination... would be interesting to hear the stories of those bucket list trips.

I hope one day to have the stories to tell! Thank you for reading :)

seeing the northern lights is really darn neat. i live in minnesota and i've only managed to see it twice. one was pretty mild and passed in a few moments, but was still stunning. another lasted over 20 minutes and i loved and cherish every minute. you have to be out pretty late at night, in just the right conditions to see it.

i dont appreciate any of the cold here, but i do like the snow. even as i bitch about the snowblower and all. i grew up here and winter isnt right without it. last year we didnt get any lasting snow til february and it was the most wrong winter i've ever had. i think the wicked cold temps here make us appreciate spring a thousand times more.

That's so cool that you got to see it! Jon and I tried a couple of times when the aurora was south enough that you were supposed to see it in MD but we never got to see it.

Winter is weird I will agree with without snow even in MD.
