Okay, so it's not spring quite yet, but spring weather has definately arrived - if you live in NoCal, at least - so I'm stoked.

My plans for spring :

- forget about current flame.
- get a new chick that actually wants to be with me instead of just think about it.
- quit smoking dope for 1 month so I can pass my pre-employment drug test (oh yeah... I got a new job!)
- look at the flowers & birdies
- prepare for the Summer inferno. Need many camping supplies.

So how about you guys / gals? What will YOU be doing?

I will likely be sitting here reading this and a large selection of other web sites with all my curtains closed, with poorly regulated and ofter out-of-synch-with-the-world sleep patterns that cause me to miss the majority of my lectures. Only leaving my room, therefore, to make my daily run for enough junk food to feed me for a day from the local corner shop. I will probably not bother cleaning my room, and therefore wrappers/bottles for said junk food will likely pile up around my computer desk as it has done at the moment. I will likely speak to no-one other than my immediate family, and my most frequently dialed number is the local pizza restaurant.

I love my life.

I'll probably attempt to start improving myself. I'd like to pick up some simple free-weights, get back into blading, maybe walking and swimming. I'd also like to get into a routine of going shooting once a week at a range. Hopefully I can reclaim my evenings after I get all this crap at work done. I hate going home when it's dark out.

Maybe I should make a list. Funny tasks show up on lists which you forget how they got there.

As for the weather, I should have taken advantage of the lovely winter time. When spring hits, it's going to start getting back into the 90's and 100's. Should have taken advantage of the 70's of winter. Humph.

Hoping this sunshine will ACTUALLY HOLD for more than 24 hours so I can wash my car. I thought I moved to vegas. The bright and shiny strip clued me in that it was vegas. The rain makes me wonder if I was abducted by aliens and transplanted to Seattle without my knowing. 75\% humidity..gack...

hey dkb... the English countryside is gorgeous in the Spring and Summer! (I've been there & seen it.) So you had damn well better go out and enjoy it... no complaining from you!!!

Here in California, there are lots of flowers and greenery until the end of May. Then everything turns brown and dies, temperatures shoot up into the hundreds, and everyone huddles inside with the air conditioning turned on full blast.

nene... don't worry. It will stop raining, and then you'll wish it hadn't.

well i live in northern ontario so as most of you can imagine i won't be seeing any spring for a while
anyhow that would give me some time to improve on my snowboarding skills
and then there's school and drivers ed.

Actually after 30 days it's pretty much undetectable by piss test. If it hasn't been 30 days, drink massive quantities of water beforehand and take a multivitamin (so yer piss wont be clear).

I think the 6 month thing is if they test your hair. which is a lot less common and a lot more expensive

Spring- its spring some place?
NY just got 28 inches of snow last week and another 6 this past weekend- I dont think spring is in my forecast

However Spring fever has hit regardless of the weather- seems I can never keep a bf much past April - whats with that?

Im not into spring because it gives me a headache (you know allergies and all that fun stuff) I do like fall however (must be the birthday thing) I like the smell of fall

I have seasonal allergies too and it sux. Of course it's really mild, I just sneeze sometimes and if it's really bad my eyes irritate me.

Then again that's what allergy medicine is for.

Spring kicks ass. Sunny days and breezy nights.

I totally love spring. It is BY FAR my favorite season. I grew up in the mountains outside of Durango, Colorado and when spring came around I would typically spend every day possible hiking, biking, and camping way out in the middle of nowhere. Every year when spring begins it invokes...well...something more powerful then memories. I don’t really know how to explain it; I can FEEL the sunlight on my face- the cool air but warm skin. I can SMELL the drying earth and the budding plants. It’s like reliving a moment of your past, only the emotions and sensations are stronger. (like I said, I can’t really explain it)
Every now and then the...feeling of a perfect spring day will take me back and let me re-experience what is (currently) the best part of my life.

Yea...I love spring.
