I haven't posted in a bit but there's a new Friday Five (on Monday Morning 😴 ) so~

Would you rather [hobbies version]...
1. shop // sunbathe

I like warmth, but not really sunbathing necessarily as such? Well, with a book or something it's nice. Shopping can be fun, I can spend hours in a good CD store ^_^' Let's say sunbathing when it's warm >>> shopping when it's cold but shopping when it's warm > sunbathing when it's warm. No one sunbathes while it's cold, obviously (well, this is not true, people do. I don't.).

2. dance // sing
I seriously suck at both but enjoy them immensely. Somehow last year I ended up doing both in the company of other people for the first time since secondary school (and in high school the dancing was Fancy Dances in a ~prom; furitsuke during gigs obviously doesn't count as dancing 😳). Getting me to dance or sing somewhere where other people can see/hear usually requires fairly large amounts of alcohol and I promise you'll regret it.

3. watch college football // watch NFL
No handegg for me thanks 😛

4. write // read
I like(d) writing, but I really like reading. I didn't read much for a while but I've been trying to change that lately : )

5. chat online with friends // hang out with friends
Idk, I like both, I very rarely hang out with any friends irl these days, but in principle the latter? I'd definitely much rather chat online with some friends than hang out with others. Both in moderation, though

It's been so EFdkəœıĸj߀ðoing cold lately ;; last week was <-15C every weekday, it warmed a bit the last two days but it was -16C again this morning. And so much snow. Aaaaaaaa give me spring.

A meeting got postponed so here's today's thefridayfive

1) What's the weather like where you are today?

It's pretty windy for Helsinki, 35 kph / 22 mph regularly and 72 kph / 45 mph gusts. My hair was all over my face this morning. Other than that it's nice, sunny and not very warm @ 18C / 65F.

2) How does this type of weather make you feel?

I'm fine with it, the wind doesn't bother me as much and at least it's above 15C 😒

3) What's your favourite time of year (thinking about the weather)?

Summer for sure! I like the warmth. Finnish winter and autumn are awful and while (normal) springs are OK, and it's nice that everything is getting green, it's the allergy season for me and, well, things are still green in summer.

4) Is there any weather that just makes you want to hide away indoors?

Obviously? Too much rain, snow or cold.

5) If you were moving somewhere purely for the climate, where would it be - what's your perfect year-round weather scenario?

Iii don't know, but somewhere warmer. Probably not a tropical place, but let's say I wouldn't miss seeing snow.
