Not much interesting...
Not much interesting happened today. But I still wanted to post a journal...
Hmmmm...
Okay, do you guys have seasons that you feel the worst in?
Like, one of my best friends, she says she thinks she has seasonal depression (I doubt it), because in the summer she feels all happy and is jumping all over the place, and in the winter I tend to get late night calls from her asking me to tell her why she shouldn't kill herself...
For me, it's usually the opposite. In the winter, I feel on top of the world, most of the time.
But in the summer, even though it's all sunny and shiz, I just don't think I feel as good. I wouldn't call it depression, I'm quite sure I don't have a mental illness (or then again, maybe I do, who knows?)...
But when I look forward, I see a life that isn't bad, but the things that I usually enjoy, I don't see where the happiness in them comes from... I don't see where happiness will come from...
Maybe the weather doesn't matter so much to me... I think it might be that in the summer I kinda hang around all day, and all I have time for is thinking.
And in the winter, between November and February, I have school swimming, which means that I'm doing 2 swim practices a day, plus extra strength training exercises, and then I have homework and shit to do, and I'm literally working and working and working from wake up at 6 to when I come on here at like 9.
Maybe I'm just a future workaholic and I just get joy from doing something all frickin day.
Hmmmm, maybe I should stop.
Well, anyway, do any of you feel like you have "seasonal depression"?

a friend from canada told me he doesn't like the snow and freezing weather, but loves the sun and summer. many of my friends hate the sun. i'm the only fellow who'd wear short shorts during summer, just putting it out there.
Finally somebody else
This summer i have been so depressed! its awful because when nobody i know is available i have to sit inside all day whilst it is sunny. it has got to a point that sometimes when sunlight enters my room i moan about it. i think i really need to stop though as sunshine can be good. But i just love looking at the rain it has so much emotion. Plus i find it harder to dress in the summer well, compared to winter, as i have a big love of coat's and gloves and all that layering. Like i cant wait for autumn as then i can wear my jackets and i love all the colours that are around. Summer to me is nice but it gets just to bland.
Well...
The Pacific Northwest supposedly has a higher depression/suicide rate because of it being lifeless and grey and raining for much of the winter/early spring, no?

Nah, weather doesn't do much for me
but in the winter there's no show band, so I guess it's sort of a seasonal depression ;)

That's redick!
Yeah...
I don't really like summer. I like the going-interesting-places that summer brings, but that's it. My favorite seasons are fall and winter, 'cause that's when we have rain here in California. October is probably my favorite month, for a whole bunch of reasons.
I'm not much of a summer
I'm not much of a summer person. I like fall and winter. I like being slightly cold. I can snuggle up under the blankets and sip hot chocolate and admire the leaves and snow. Summer is just...meh.
