Why winter?

Why winter? Really. I have been contemplating it all day (who are we kidding, I have been thinking about it since the day after Christmas), and I still don't understand its purpose. Like movies such as The Time Traveler's Wife, designed with the sole purpose of making people sad, winter's one goal is to inflict misery.

Today dawned sunny and clear, with scarcely any smog cover. If you know anything about our winter air quality in Utah, you understand what a big deal this is. The sun is quite deceiving, however, because the second I stepped outside the air made me cough.

People.

It is so cold, it literally takes my BREATH away.

I thought those were just song lyrics written for Maverick, and then only figuratively, but really they're about Utah and they're not romantic and they don't incite positive feelings.

In conclusion, I dislike winter and The Time Traveler's Wife.

Spring, pretty please?

Truthfully, I think winter's sole purpose IS inflicting misery. The whole, opposition in all things bit. I figure, God has the right to inflict but Robert Schwentke does not. Thus, I suffer through winter but NOT the Time Traveler's Wife.

Girl, I am with you all the way. I was just telling my roommates that this is the reason why I don't exercise in the winter.... I'm meant to get fat to help keep me warm. Today was miserable.

I couldn't agree more.

Here in New York, it's pretty much vomit-inducing. I haven't craved Spring & ♥ Summer ♥ this badly...ummm...ever.
