Had a surprisingly good time in Idaho last fall. Weird weird state, but pretty if you know where to look.

Everyone’s going on about having a ‘traditional, old-fashioned Christmas’, but when I burst into the house covered in green paint and demand a champion strike my head from my shoulders with my own axe so that I may return the blow next year, I’m ‘scaring Grandma’.

My ability to have a bad time doing something fun is unmatched. I'm better than anyone at doing something I like and hating every second of it.

As someone who isn't a furry and loves nature I LOVE seeing what level people incorporate the actual behavior and biology of an animal into anthro stuff. It's so fun seeing how people incorporate like habitat and winter adaptations and feeding behavior into human-ish critters. Delightful! Good work everyone!

I cannot overstate how all around bad in every way winter is in this shit hole. I love the summer here, I wish the winter was tolerable. I can't believe I'm still doing this.

Having a minor internal crisis whether I should move my car to my usual winter car staging area this weekend. This weekend it'll be snowing, up to half a foot, which could be enough to get snowmobiles running, but the week after it'll be above freezing every day, so I might be without a car as the snow melts out.
I don't want to drive my car 3 or 4 hours around the mountains if I'm going to need to do it again in a couple weeks. I wish it would just snow or not, or that we plowed longer.

*for poll purposes I would consider a city/town/village/etc to be one 'place', so moving to another city or village counts as living elsewhere but moving to different building in the same city or village wouldn't. living unhoused would also count as one 'place' if you were still in the same city, even if you were moving around that city, couch-surfing, got displaced, etc
**living somewhere vs visiting is sometimes blurry but I'd still consider it 'living' there if you were there for a temporary job or school, or had or looked for a lease, or went there planning to stay indefinitely, etc. bald option for bald nuance
