As my mother put it, the mere threat of snow period means my whole county has to shut down and stop the presses because we don't get it here very often and North Carolinians don't know how to deal with it.

You Southerners so cray
In other news, there's like 6 inches of snow on the ground now and our school district is dismissing my siblings early. Thankfully Mother's here so I don't have to drive on the snowy roads alone, though I'm going to ride along with her to tell her where to go (since said school's parking lot is a nonsensical maze).
@a8: If one of our schools closes, all of them do. I personally go to a school fairly close to "downtown" (if you can call it that, it's not very big) but still.

Like in the December 29th one CA posted in the photos thread, that's the kind of snow that brings most stuff here to a standstill.
Hi Bobby.
One rather amusing rule of thumb for winter weather in the US: your latitude is inversely proportional to the extent to which people freak out at snow.
My uncle who lives in Wisconsin would probably look at that December 29th snow and say "oh look, a light flurry." Meanwhile, where Tre lives they're literally closing schools at the mere thought of a snowstorm.
Speaking of snowmen, when we first got here to Pennsylvania, my Californian mom didn't know how to make a snowman and got yelled at by two angry children who had learned from cartoons.

That about sums up my feelings on "fake geek girls".
Well, huh. Makes sense, i guess
To me it's like, a 'fake geek girl' would be somebody pretending to be a geek who isn't one (nevermind the question of why anyone would bother). It's a silly idea, but a self-explanatory one.
Whereas the definition of hipster seems to be, some people who everyone hates for some unspecified reason because they do some unspecified thing but whatever it is they're doing it's totally hipster and that's the WORST THING.
Like, wearing glasses sometimes makes you hipster, but sometimes it doesn't? And ditto PBR? Are you a hipster when somebody calls you one, but not before? i don't get this.
But then apparently you can identify these people from a photograph, without having heard a word they've said or knowing anything about their interests?
i mean if Internet memes are indicative somebody is instantaneously transformed into a hipster the moment they don a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers.
Which, OK, fine, a hipster defined as somebody who wears a particular pair of glasses, i could kind of understand, though not why this is such a bad thing.
To be honest i think i am just mad at the extent that a person's fashion choices are seen as indicative of their character.

i didn't think i had been gone very long. But, i slept all night, then through my alarm and my flatmate woke me up at midday.
How to easily intimidate Bobby: casually express a strongly negative opinion of the works of a respected historical cultural icon.
i should be joking but i'm really not.
The last school i went to was really stubborn about snow days, and was always the last school in the area to close.
^ Aww. Happy to entertain. :D
It is snowing. :(
Your snow doesn't fuck around, does it?

idk, i wish i understood music better, then i'd probably form more opinions on it. i should listen to more stuff.
^ Will no snowmen be spared?
I have discovered that I like New Wave, Prog Rock, Prince, and Kanye West.
when i encounter or remember something i'm curious about and open a new tab to look it up
then enter in the url of a search engine
and then i've forgotten what it was i was going to look up
happens all the damn time

i really ought to have listened to more Prince than i have.
You know what that means
They tended to look kind of rough and bloblike.
i get so angry sometimes i just punch plankton --Klinotaxis

After all this time i am still not sure i understand the concept.
i get so angry sometimes i just punch plankton --Klinotaxis
idk though, this isn't a big deal but it irritates me how i can't seem to wrap my head around the concept, if there is an actual concept there at all.
