Why Is it So Dam Cold

No, people, I’m not cursing. I’m on an island, so the “dam” joke applied to the situation.

I walked about two miles today in the cold, unforgiving snow of New York. I got uncountable amounts of ice dropped into my eyes from the sky, and I wrapped my face tightly in my hoodie. My very eyeballs were cold from being out in the 36 degrees of cold.

I honestly don’t understand how you people stand it being so cold so late in the year. Back home, it’s 80 degrees, and here I am wearing 2-3 layers of clothing.

However, despite the cold, I managed to get a few pictures and three videos! I’m going to post them over the course of the next few days, so be on the lookout for some New York action!

A Light in the Darkness. Taken by me on the plane in the wee hours of the morning.

A Strip of Sunrise – taken by me about a half hour afterwards.

sNOW!? – taken by me several hours later.

Hope you enjoyed these!

All of you must write a blog post containing a (at least) 300 word blob about your favorite thing/book/person in the world. It can be a story about unicorns, a fanfiction based off Harry Potter, a love letter to coffee, or whatever – but it has to be a one-shot. Also, link me to the post in the comments.

Also, I am pretty positive that all of you are girls. However, if one of you are not a girl, please contact me immediately and I will remove you from the nominations. This is a girls-only award.

Your post has to be done by August 15th. All of you will come in places, 1st-4th. There is no significant prize except bragging rights.

The Leibster Award

Okay, so, I was tagged with an award by Kellyn Roth. I can’t really do it, because I only know one person on here and not eleven, so… yeah.
