hot hot heat

as much as i hate to say it, and as much ridicule as i may receive for it, i am not a summer person. yes yes 27 degree days with a sea breeze are lovely but once it hits 35 and there's an easterly blustering about, there's nothing i can do to keep cool. we have aircon but i just cannot get to a comfortable temperature, i can wear next to nothing and still be melting. maybe it's because i'm english but in my defense i left england when i was 6 and should be used to the sun by now... curses on these 38 degree days! curses i say. i want one of those evaporating air con thinggies for my room but they're like $150, which i could afford if i really really wanted to but i need a hair cut and christmas is just a week away and i still have gifts to buy for friends. since when did people buy presents for friends i never did this until i started uni, then i made friends with more people than i knew what to do with, so how do you know who to buy for? i don't want to buy for people who i won't see because they won't get their gifts until february when uni starts again, and i don't want to assume that i should non-gift a certain person only to find that they bought me something. stresses! i agree with orietta, christmas is too commercial, people should be happy they're alive not concerned about what's under the tree. with that, if i don't end up near the net for a few days i hope you all have a wonderful christmas and new years filled with tasty dinners, mince pies and plenty of custard!
