Snow? In April? It's more likely than you think.

So. It snowed yesterday.







I am not impressed. Yes, that photo's from yesterday, not from February or anything. Goddamnit, Alberta. Just when it starts turning nice, we get a snow-storm.

When I said "we need some precipitation up in this joint" that's not what I meant.

Not much else to report. Still jobless. Still trying to find time to write. Still a bit stir-crazy. But my parents are going to Edmonton for the weekend, so at least I'll have a few days to myself. I intend to spend them cleaning, researching, writing, and listening to loud music without my headphones on. :)b

It's hard to get any reading done around here because whenever mum sees the history book I've been going through (The Hammer and the Cross, about the vikings) she keeps going on and on and on about how they didn't have any worthwhile culture and they were just barbarians and uncivilized and blah blah blah. And I'm just like -- Yes, okay. This is a time period you don't care much about (and you don't know much about it, either). Why on earth do you think I want your opinion on it? She has a very particular and strict definition of "civilized" anyway (in which case Italy = civilized and everyone else = uncivilized, apparently) and whenever she brings it up it just makes my eyes twitch and gives me the urge to punch things.

... But other than that, everything is fine and dandy over here. I suppose.

I like how you put cleaning first when listing the stuff you're going to do during the weekend.

Most likely I'll leave it 'till last. But this is me pretending that I'm a responsible adult, you see. :)a

I just like the mental image. "YES! Finally I'm home alone. NOW I CAN CLEAN ALL I WANT! (ﾉ◉ヮ◉)ﾉ"

WELL IT'S MUCH MORE RELAXING THAT WAY, YOU KNOW. o3o

In April it must sound more like taunting but awww, what a cute, cosy picture. <3

Eh, maybe I'm biased but I really don't get this point of view. Okay, let's assume Vikings had no culture to speak of - so what? They are still a part of history - that alone automatically makes them worth researching about - and a pretty important part at that. Hell, if we're only considering cultural impact, my country's history is mostly irrelevant up until... 19th century, going by European standards. Sounds kind of sad.

And have fun on during the weekend! Headphones are just no fun.

8| I don't want snow! You can have it, though, if you'd like.
[/packs it all up and sends it to you]

Yeah, I don't understand it either. I hate it when people put some arbitrary "value" on civilizations or groups of people or whatever (and then assume that their thoughts on the matter are right and true and carry some weight. Who are you to say what sort of people are better than another?)

I find it laughable when Canadians talk this way, because even though we like to pretend we're important, Canada is just... so irrelevant to the world in general. We just sit up here in the middle of nowhere and don't do very much and aren't very important at all. :Va

Oh, and thank you - I'll do my best to make the most of this time <3

Hey, just think of the alternative. Without snow everything would be brown and muddy and gross looking. Err, that said, I do hope it melts soon. Snow in April is ridiculous.

Also, I think you were right about how our mothers would get along. orz And even if the Vikings didn't have a culture and were uncivilized blah blah blah, pirates. Pirates are interesting, dammit. (And less than 1% of their respective populations, so not exactly the best people to judge culture on...) But haters gonna hate, so try not to let her bother you, bro. ;3;

8| You're right, but... when it's gone it'll be muddy and brown all over again. SIGH. And sob.

Haters to the left, yo. The far left. But still, ugh, goddamnit. IT DRIVES ME NUTS. Though I guess it wouldn't matter what subject I was reading about; whatever it'd be, she'd say the same thing.
