I live in New Zealand so the cold doesn't really visit us often, lol. When there was a cold snap earlier in the year, all of New Zealand collectively **** themselves and hid in their homes, fearful of the foreign feeling of 'coldness'.

It's not Christmas without a little snow. :>
I've never seen snow on Christmas. I've seen an ice storm on Christmas Eve and a blizzard the day after Christmas two separate years, but never a white Christmas. It's something I've always wanted to experience though.

White Christmasses are probably horrible and cold and not an enjoyable experience at all, the media has just overly romanticised it to make everybody want one :P

A Christmas without snow around here is a bleak one, to be honest. I think it's only happened once in my life, and it wasn't because it was too warm for snow. It was certainly cold enough, it actually had just warmed up enough the week before to melt it all and then the temperature dropped like a rock and it was almost too cold for snow.

EDIT: And because it had snowed several times already and was so cold that year, the grass was brown.

It's actually been doing something similar this year, however, it's been much warmer this year as opposed to the arctic chills between the melting and snowstorms of that year.

Non-White Christmas' suck. We used to have them in Colorado, but obviously since we've moved to Florida we haven't had a single one. I miss White Christmas so so much. I also miss being able to listen to 'Let it Snow' happily because these days whenever I hear the song I'm just all 'BUT IT DOESN'T SNOW IN FLORIDA'. ;w;

You people griping about the few times you've had a non-white Christmas when there are people out there (*cough*me*cough*) who have never even seen snow! :(

I love it when it snows down here. I know it can be annoying for certain people, like with job's n' whatever. But we get a few days off school, and it's pretty fun chucking snowballs at people. :P Though, a lot of the time it all turns into ice soon after and it's annoying walking on the pavement.
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

Truality is racist against non-white Christmases.

I'm going from Socal (probably around 65-70 degrees) to New York (most likely 20-30) on Christmas Eve, haha. I really hope it's snowing when I get there. C: Man I love Christmas in New York.

Saw someone get "pulled over" on-campus yesterday with a segway. Pretty hilarious.
Wait... what? Was the rider going to slow or something?

Anyway, just read a story that made me facedesk.

Why would anyone want to steal 50 tons of corn? Especially from a MOVING train?

I'll clarify.

Here at Charlotte, pedestrians get right-of-way no matter what. It's taken very seriously. Car goes flying past the student union and almost hit somebody. Car slows down, realizing his fault, and the only cop nearby was on the segway. My friends and I died laughing. Should have taken a picture, but it's exam week... too busy.

LOL, good 'ol Charlotte (I graduated from there this past May). I remember almost being hit a number of times crossing the street to the student union... and the Segway cops...

Good times, good times.

You went to UNC Charlotte and we never made this link before? UGH.

...I want one of those segways xD

I had a Networking professor that loooves the Chargers. Everytime his team lost we'd skip the Monday pop quiz and gives us 5 points extra credit. You'll figure out how many points we as a class accumulated xD
