Spring

[rodo]

I think I finally found out what I hate most about spring. Yes, I am one of those few people who don't feel the sudden need to get outside and spent time in the sun. Instead, I'd rather lock myself away in my room and ignore the whole thing.

I have allergies and really, sun isn't lots of fun if you're as pale as I am, and I rather prefer an arctic climate, but I think I hate the smells the most. Once the temperature rises about 15°C, everything starts to smell. Well, "stink" would probably be a better word. The plants, the earth, the stones, the asphalt. Urgh! I know some people don't react the way I do, but to me it's as if I was surrounded by tons of people who put on too much perfume.

Wow, that sucks for you :o( ! I was in the forst yesterday for the first time in a long time, I was quite getting high on all the lovely smells!

Yes, it does suck. It sucks even more when people tell me that the only thing I need to be happy is a nice, long walk.

I envy you, though. I used to love being out in spring as a child. Especially in a forrest.

you might like the spring here. because we're way higher than sea-level (1000m elevation), the sunlight feels different, making me like it, and I used to hate sunlight.
there are nearly no flowers here because the climate's too dry. well, smells - Hohhot does have its own flavour of smells, actually it is kind of smelly (some places are, at least), but way different from Germany.
but the real reason you might like the spring here would be because it's some welcome change after five months of freaking cold winter ;) and even the all-encompassing grey and yellow seems nice in the sunlight, somehow...
