I like the fog

The last two days have been hot, and I'm not talking 80s (though you will probably hear me complaining then too) but 109 and I know tons of people live with that type weather daily but generally the ones telling me this are ones that have well insulated houses, ac's and strong fans. I do not like heat.

I would be happy if every day it was foggy. I have mentioned it before and most people act like I am crazy. Today though a friend agreed with me, she said fog is sort of romantic. I have to agree with her, it has an air of mystery. Living in San Francisco the fog would come in and be so thick that looking out my apartment window I felt like I could be 100 stories high and noone that could see me. There's a certain freedom about being hidden from others views.

But back to the heat, I don't understand how people enjoy exercising in it. If you are going to make me exercise at least make it cool so that I don't get all sweaty, gross. I didn't use to be such a clean freak but I really don't like feeling sticky. And people who live in places that have seasons (especially snow in the winter), if you like it, that's great, but I send my compassion to those who are not big fans. I don't know how someone can run daily when one day its over 100 and a few months later it can be freezing? I think I would find a gym if I lived in a place with extreme weather.... assuming I was the physical type.

Not that I don't like things, I love team sports. But thats the problem, its hard to find a team sport and when you do it's generally co-ed. No offense to guys but they generally take sports much to seriously for my taste and would have no qualms hitting a hard ball at someone who doesn't know how to play just to prove themselves. I'm sorry but I only need to prove myself to, well, myself. If I know someone is a bad player I won't aim at them. If I must hit to them then I do my best to be kind. Boys generally do not have a strong mercy gene.

This post doesn't really have any point or purpose, I just find it so odd when I hear people talking about going for a run when it's over 100. I mean honestly, who actually likes running that much? It's incredibly dull, even running outside, you just see the same stuff over and over again. But then again I have also come to realize that I'm not much of a nature person. I like the beach.... but only at night... or during the day if its foggy.

"And people who live in places that have seasons, firstly I am so sorry for you especially if it snows"

thanks for your sympathy! so far it's just chilly here, not cold yet. i've come to love fall, it's so pretty when the leaves are all colorful. but i'd be happy to high-tail it out of here after the first snow.
