Fuck yeah, Centigrade Fahrenheit.
The Imperial Police will be at your house shortly.

 Note: I use both systems. I just poke fun at people who think using one system over another is stupid, stupid.

I use Fahrenheit. I agree that it's a stupid system. Cenigrade makes much more sense. But Fahrenheit's what I'm accustomed to and I'll probably use it till the day I die.

Meh, basically everyone uses a measurement that simply doesn't make sense.  While I use centrigrade, which I find more intuitive than farenheit (partly because the original measurements made in faranheit were wrong - 0 was meant to be the coldest chemicals Farenheit could make in his labs, water was meant to boil at 32, and human body heat was meant to be 96 (3 x 32.  But the measurement was wrong), I also use miles, which I have no way of defending from the far more rational kilometres.  Similarly, for long distances, I use lightyears, which while poetic, aren't really good for anything compared to whatever the metric equivalent is.

I reversed my internal clock sometime last year. My body considers midnight "noon" and noon "arrgh-why-you-keep-waking-me-up-time".

Me too!  For some reason my day suddenly went from 7AM-10PM to 2PM-4AM.  I don't get it.

My air conditioner was finally fixed, but my grandfather was helping in the installation, and since he doesn't listen to anything people say, he put the fan in upside down and the motor burnt out again.  It's so hot in here that sounds melt.

Its averaging 80F in the house at night. I think my brain is melting. Its got to the point I'm tempted to take a bucket fill it with water, throw it in the freezer and take it out every so often so I can just dunk my entire head in it.

Here in Singapore, the average temperature is around 30C(86F). This year's monsoon has been particularly hot, so the temperature can be up to 35C(95F) at noon and 30C(86F) at night.

Combine that with extreme humidity...

The heat here is in the range of 120 degrees and over, there is no one to talk to except forum members and soon I'll be heading to Lebanese mountains, which is infested with bugs and we forgot to drag along picks and an anvil.

WAT? You're in Lebanon?

HAI NEIGHBOR! :P

Anyways, yeah, I prefer winter season over summer too. I just can't think straight in the heat.

People on the forums are quite antsy this summer, anybody know why?
Maybe the lack of getting laid?

I can only speak for myself, but when I don't get sex every... I don't know exactly ... I think it's somewhere between 4 and 7 days, I start to get cranky. 'tis worse in the summer, which has to do with several things, mainly temperature, light and the way the girls dress  ;D
 
In the winter I can go longer amounts of time without sex, it's like I'm hibernating. The REAL summerproblems start when it's too hot to fuck. (Apart from the ever returning problem of not getting some when I need to  ;D)

I'm actually enjoying the summer. I've finally got a plan in life, found my mojo again, ended a relationship that was making me unhappy, got a summer internship doing wildlife rehabilitation, and got out of a 5-year general depression streak.

This summer is made of awesome.
