Summer, I live in fucking Arizona, in a conservative mormon area.

Not only is it fucking hot outside(115 F), but there is nothing to do.

Definitely summer. It's always hot and the electric bill is ALWAYS excessive no matter how much I leave the AC off! So it's lose-lose: Either be hot and sticky and only be able to afford groceries or crank it and eat out of a can for the next couple weeks. :roll:

Part of it's that this apartment has a particularly inefficient and wasteful AC system and it's in full sun all the time... :evil:

FUCK SUMMER!

If you're hot, and there's no AC, it just sucks to be you, not only do you sweat, you stink, too. Most unattractive.

Winter Rules!

If you're cold, and there's no heat, you can always burn things. Or rub your hands together! :)

(Plus you get to snuggle!! Ahhhhhhhh toasty.....)

....Fucking Florida....one good month of winter, ONE and that's only cause I'm in Jacksonville.

Summer can kiss my ass; I hate it. Autumn is my favourite season for a thousand reasons: leaves changing, cool crisp air, hot cider, marching band, clear cool nights to stargaze--ahh, and it's the perfect time of year to sit at the beach at sunrise.

I don't really like Summer too much. At best I can shift my mind to be able to ignore the heat, and my body can get used to it but I still don't particularly like it. Most of the time I can't stand it, (Having a thicker build and apparently a slightly above average metabolism seems to do it, along with the fact my mind tends to slowly fall apart in heat makes me uncomfortable.) and I have to make up for it by being primarily nocturnal. This makes getting things done even harder than usual.

I probably would like Autumn the best. Unfornuately, lately it just seems like Summer and Winter weather flucuates the entire time. I used to like Winter more, since I liked the cold (Colder temputures seem to sharpen my mind somehow. Given that my favorite activities actually thinking and various derivatives of it (ie daydreaming, world-building, pondering, observing, etc)) but the past few years it feels like I'm sick most of the time which screws up my cold tolerance something awful. Brisk-air associated with autumn is still enough to sharpen my mind somewhat, without taxing my body. In addition, it's rather easy to adjust your own temputure by adjusting your outer clothing, although it's not really even needed because I can be comfortable really summer or winter clothes at the right temputure.

I suppose I should note that I think I get slightly more depressed in the Winter, possibly something seasonal. (Possibly just the change in the light levels, I would think.)

Ditto.

It's worse than the opposite of winter in most places because theresome cool winter sports are available that you can get bundled up for and go outside and do. Here in the summer it's too frickin' hot to do anything outside until about 9:00pm.

I'm going with spring.

Damned snow melts, leaving big, ugly black-turd looking things of ice all over the place. It's wet, it's slushy, raining... the trees still look like skeletal corpses of their former selves and the grass is still brown and dead. Just plain depressing all around.

Winter, on the other hand, kicks absolute ass. It's dark, it's cold, it's windy, there's snow... It's the only season where one can downhill ski and ice-skate. Winter's where it's at.

Summer. I hate summer. It is too god damn hot. ur you can go to the beach, but you have to drive there, and without AC it is torture. I like spring and autumn, they still have some decent beach days, without the really hot days where you can't go outside. And I love winter witht he wind and the rain, its great. It never rains too much here so you can usually walk to uni all through the witner without an umbrella.

Winter sucks for me. The cold air, bare trees, roads filthy from the sand and salt, early darkness, girls hidden away in winter coats - the season plays a number on my psyche and I'm consistently feeling crazy and depressed from late November till the first week of February.

Winter is actually the only season I dislike. Fuck the winter :x

I hate Winter. Summer, while very warm is made up for by attractive bodies being revealed in tight skimpy clothing. Winter has no redeaming qualities, it's cold and damp, in belfast it never snows just cold rain.

My favourite season is Autumn. There is some heat over from summer and when it's rains it's not freezing bone numbing rain.

I like late spring/early summer the least. Allergies are worst at that time for me. I suppose winter is my favorite. Winters are relatively mild here.

What the fuck is with this romanticizing of winter? You can shove your hot cocoa and snuggly sweaters up your ass. Some of us have jobs, classes, and things to do, and the Kodak moment you're having in front of your roaring fireplace isn't keeping me from having to scrape a foot of snow off of my car at six in the morning.

I don't know about the others, but in my case i have no problem with winter, because winters are mild here. Never snows, rains a bit, but not too much, doesn't get too cold, nothing much to complain about really.

Can't stand summer......

...too hot, too boring, nearly everyone I know is busy (work, summer school, vacation), my sheets stick to me when I'm trying to sleep, I live on the ground floor so I'm afraid to leave my window open because something or someone might try to get in.... :P
No conscience. No law. No stopping them....

....well, maybe a Happy Meal would do it.

I don't like Winter solely for this one reason. It takes a bitchload of time for the boiler to heat the water to my condo meaning I have to wait awhile until the shower is nice and warm/hot. :evil: ~Jason
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
