Damn, it's freaking hot! I'm sweatin' my you-know-what off. Because of this, I was wondering: How do you beat the heat? Usually, I go down to my basement, but my TV is too big, my couch is too close to the TV, I get motion sick watching TV like that, and my computer isn't down there.


Also, I go outside and rest on my deck in the shade.


If it's really hot, like today, I sit on the tile with my dogs. It's nice and cold. *-*


(My Yahoo! says it's in the 80's today, but I don't believe that for a second. Luckily, the sun is going down. .)

Heat? In Ireland? Let's get real, folks.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

Wear very little, drink water, eat watermelon, popsicles, go in my basement.

i wanna be the wind that fills your sails,
& be the hand that lifts your veil.
& be the moon that moves your tide,
the sun coming up in your eyes.
be the wheels that never rust,
& be the spark that lights you up.
all that you've been dreaming of and more,
so much more, i wanna be your everything.. <3

paired with alternative <3

Why didn't anyone make this thread during the Melbourne Heatwave? :(
I just turn up the AC and wear as little clothing as possible. Shorts and T-Shirt. Even then, it's still pretty hot, so I try to move as little as possible and stay away from everyone.

Now, though, it's freezing and windy and raining in Melbourne. :(

lol, lucky you. In Australia, the temperatures vary so much. Not long ago, we were suffering heatwaves, and now, I have to keep my cat inside because he can't stand up in the wind!

Magicool, the air conditioner in a can. It's like very fine water spray, and I go through four or five cans per summer.

Aside from that, I put a hat on, wear more revealing outfits and drink plenty of water. I also try and paddle whenever I can.

Lay down in my bed with the fan on low about five or six feet away from me. It's feels so good. Usually, I get the want to drink water opposed to any other drink when I'm feeling hot and thirsty. It usually its my crave for it just right. Especially if it's been sitting in ice and the ice finally started to melt.

Unfortunately, I don't handle the heat all that much, which is why I'm usually spending my time inside (since I don't have access to a pool anymore) indoors during the summer.

I curl up into a ball and bathe in the heat. Eventually, I stop noticing it.
Otherwise, heat is really unpleasant for me. Even the 70s.
lurid/lucid

"I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills. But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete, my lungs empty of air, my throat burning. There will be no floating away."
