Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mostly posting slightly boring bit of info because I can't tell if I'm more pissed or amused. >3>;


So, Cali is 100 degree weather right now.
My mom left me at school waiting for her outside for over an hour.
It wasn't the first time she's done it, but I was irritated, 'cuz getting forgotten at school is just... bleh. And gets old.
(Especially because my sister says I do it more often, which I don't unless it's talking to teachers and I tell her about it... and her car is air-conditioned, has no bugs crawling in it, and is not made from concrete)
So when she pulled up, I asked what happened.

1) She had forgotten my school ended about 1/2 hour earlier than usual.
2) She knew that she'd make me wait for at least 1/2 hour late but said sitting in the car with me for 10 minutes in parking lot traffic is "a waste of time."
3) She justified herself by telling me she had been at my uncle's house picking guavas.

....TL;DR: My mom prefers guavas over me. ; ___________ ;
And I'm still wondering why the ******** it's guavas of all fruit. XD

at least it was on the way *home* from school.

My mum once forgot I was in the car with her, so instead of driving me to school she headed off for work.

When I piped up and said "why are we going this way?" she suddenly realised I was still there and got quite annoyed that she now had to do a u-turn and go out of her way to actually take me to school.

it's not nice to be forgotten about . . . especially when you're sitting in the same car as the person who's forgotten about you sweatdrop

Thank god San Jose is in the bay area, it is usually not the death weather of Deathvalley... still like 96 here though.

I am so glad I got out of Tucson when I did. I've been in Minneapolis with no days much warmer than 85 since mid-July mrgreen

I'm guessing that's very much in Celsius. xD;

Droughts. Not cool. California's been in the middle of an annual rash of them. gonk

There's black patches all over the area, here xd

I think I was forgotten once, but that was back when I overreacted more than I do now while not being as overly worried about what's going on, so it would've been only once. xp I'm pretty bad when I have an overreaction due to worry about potential traffic accidents, problems at home, etc.

As far as the heat, it's only been in the 90s (Fahrenheit) once the past 2 weeks, which is definitely weird. We never actually have spring and autumn here, but we do this year. O_O;; It's very peculiar. Is this what autumn is supposed to be like? Cooling off but not cold? And this is by the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas! Plus, we usually have a real wildfire season in Nevada, but we haven't really had any major wildfires in this state (not Cali) this year. What the heck?!?!
