Oh, Portland. Is there ever a time I love you more than when it snows?
No, there's really, really not.
*sits back with popcorn & waits for the city-wide meltdown to begin*
I love that for the past day my Facebook newsfeed has been overrun by people obsessing about ~who's seen the snow yet~ and ~when's it gonna arrive~ and ~OMG THINK OF THE CHILDREN!~ (okay, not really that last part, but whatevs).
I love that I knew it had finally arrived in my part of town because of the sudden sound of kids playing/screaming outside at ten o'clock at night, to which I reacted like "Wait a second. Did I just hear. . .? Why would there be? Am I tripping?" before I remembered the forecast & was like, "OH RIGHT." Heh.
For funsies,
IT BEGINS:

Haha. SNOWPOCALYPSE 2010, MY FRIENDS. Pray for us & our anticipated three inches of deadly frozen water.
And, just for the Hell of it, here's me getting all festive with my winter snow cap:

It's frakkin' cold, y'all.
(*edited to add: I just realized something else too. Remember in August, when I was trying to remember reasons to keep going? And one of them was to walk through the trails by my apartment in the snow? And that's why I set the end of this year as my goal? If the snow sticks, I'm definitely taking a walk over there tomorrow. I still get suicidal urges, so it's not like ~ooh I'm all better now~, but it has to count for something that I'm still here & will be alive to do that.)
In other news, I've been having & seeing some of the best/most engaging conversations over at
bones_ga the last few days. To any of you who are feeling disillusioned/saddened by season 6, I definitely recommend hopping on over. It's been doing me a world of good.
I'm going to try to go work on my fic now--I've been slacking on it the last few days like a lazy lump on a log--but in the meantime I'll leave you all with a song to get you in the mood for the season:
