i hate a love/hate relationship with april. actually, with spring in general. if april [& springtime] had a facebook page, my relationship with it would best be described as "it`s complicated with april/springtime".
yes, it does get warmer. & i enjoy that very much, especially after all the wonderfully dreary days where it`s too cold to be bothered to dress super nicely. it`s warm enough to wear shorter clothes, but not necessarily warm enough to abandon the cute, thin sweaters sitting in your wardrobe, waiting for their few weeks to shine.
according to a wonderfully accurate little poem, "april showers bring may flowers". they also bring out the cute little earthworms, mud &, my favourite, funny little spots all over your best pair of shoes.
in april, all the cute little birds come out, singing & flitting around happily. of course, they bring unprecedented amounts of bird crap, which isn`t always fun [actually, it never is...unless you`re me when i was five & i enjoyed watching birds take craps on car windows...]. along with the birds & furry little animals comes ugly, grosstastic bugs. bugs bugs bugs.
we live by a large field, & every single year there are a million spiders that somehow creep into our house. the ants attack. flies & moths abound. there are centipedes everywhere downstairs. the earwigs crawl around everywhere.
it`s gross & scary. especially for the arachnophobic/melissophobic/BUG-A-PHOBIC-in-general-phobic like me.
april means that the NBA playoffs have arrived. & i love the nba. it`s the boyish side of me that comes out & begins to scream at the television wildly. i analyze every move the players make. i groan when we don`t make the shot. i pound the table & argue a referee`s call, even if he cannot hear me & probably wouldn`t listen even if he could.
today, in fact, was the first game for the toronto raptors. they played against the orlando magic, & while they lost pretty badly, i still support them & hope for the best for their next game. it`s best of seven, so i`m not going to lose hope.
in support of my favourite team [which also happens to be the only canadian team, & they`re from my city XD] i wore this today for dance practice...
sorry i look so crappy in these pictures; after dance practice, we played hide-&-seek & manhunt, so i got a little sweatier than i needed to be.

red tanktop: some random sidewalk sale, 2 or 3$

sigh.

I am with you completely, I have exactly the same love hate relationship with April. here in Sydney it is hot and cold, rainy and blue skies. Much like my life during April :) It is great to hear I am not alone.
How do you feel about May?
I like spring, like it very much.
omg ewww poor you. i couldnt even kill a spider in my apartment the other day.
yea im afraid of them.
Hate the April showers, but there haven't been much here in New York and New Jersey, where I go to school.
I bet you're better than me at dancing. All I can do is... well, nothing. Boo!
on track - may is...slightly better? but then the bees come out. & it starts getting sticky, humid hot. then that`s not so much fun.
benedicte - spring is great...as long as there are no bugs. :)
annie - yea, i freak out over spiders...i`m a chicken. everyone rolls their eyes at me, but they`re scary! i can kill ants, but spiders? no way.
jennifer - april showers are fine, until the temperature starts climbing & then the showers leave you feeling gross & sticky...& i bet i`m not better than you at dancing! we should have a dance off! come here to toronto :D we can call it that 'all-blog-dance-off'. we`ll both get owned by everyone else.

Ah, the joys of real seasons! Southern California just varies between hot, warm, and slightly cool (warm for the rest of the country). Although I must say I'm not jealous of the snow.
