Now normally, there were some summers that I would be doing a lot and there were some summers that I would not do much.

But this summer...I did nothing!

First-The weather. It was raining, and not just plain rain...drizzle. This made the summer damp.

Second-No Traditions. Usually I would go to Madison, Pennsylvania, and Milan every (or almost) every year. This year...I did none of the three.

Third-My neighbors. We couldn't go outside to even enjoy ourselves. So this Labor Day...I'm wearing black because it's been the worst summer ever!

Now when you're a kid, summer's great - no school, still too young to have to work a summer job, vacations....

Now as an adult, I think summer sucks ass every year. Fall cannot come soon enough. Although this summer it was pretty good as far as my concerts!!:rock:

So sorry your summer didn't turn out the way you wanted it to.;)

Like I said...I did something for 25 years and this year...I didn't make it.

And if I go next year...is it still tradition?

I can't complain much about this summer temperature-wise, but I found the rain and cloudy weather depressing. I also had jaw surgery, which was not fun.

Hopefully, we'll have a nice, long Indian summer.

Being out of work made this summer pretty unmemorable.

This summer wasn't memorable for me either I haven't done anything other than see a movie or two and you can do that anytime.

Can I ask why you didn't go to any of these places? Finances?

Hey, if you've been doing these things for 25 years and you skip just one year, I don't see why it still can't stay a tradition!!

Madison Old-Fashioned Days-We got roped into a Church Picnic. And this is usually hit or miss anyhow, one year we went on Saturday.

Pennsylvania Family Reunion-No car to get there and my dad was tied-in to many projects. We also decided to move the rest of the crap from grandma's old house, and that was one of the reasons why I couldn't go.

Milan Melon Festival-I would've liked to go, even after celebrating their Golden Anniversary (50th for all you factual people), I wouldn't have minded. But my dad had to work and when you have your own business, sacrifice has to come.

And I promise that I will visit Milan for two days...just to make it up! That and I have no car because it got into an accident.

I liked this summer. Just lying out in the sun in my bikini, reading a good book and watching a movie here and there. Yeah, good times for me.

Hehe, I like the way you put it. It was kind of the same for me... I did nothing, but at least I had fun doing it. :lol:
Summer was too short! I'd rather be bored than be completely burned out and stressed like I am right now. :mad:

I don't think I've ever had a 'memorable' Summer. :lol:

The big downer of the summer for me is to have to question among my friends where do I stand. I didnt ask anyone but since I found out that I creep people out, sadly I dont know where I stand with people anymore.:(

This summer sucked monkey balls. **** Summer of 09. I hope it burns in hell.

Bring on winter, so at least I can use SDD as an excuse for my depression.

Mickey, I don't know you in person, but I don't understand how you creep people out. You seem like an intelligent, warm, funny, level-headed person to me.

Maybe you need to go find some people who appreciate you for who you are. Just a suggestion :)

I HATED this summer. All I did was work and when I wasn't working, I just sat at home all day and thought about how miserable I was. It wasn't exactly what I expected the summer before my senior year to be like. It also didn't help that I had to go to work with a bunch of racist rednecks everyday...

I am having a great summer! I'm sorry to hear yours has been so bad, Mr. Cleveland. I say the summer was great, despite the heatwave we had back in August. However my house was so hot (no A/C) during that time that the thought of going home was just unbearable. It was terrible, but I loved the warm weather.

I am looking foreword to fall, however, even though it means the rain will return. I hope we get even a little of an indian summer this year. Warm weather plus gorgeous fall colors. Sounds perfect!!

Forgive me, for sounding self-righteous (or, even a tad condescending) but, life is what you make it to be.

I saw a couple of great concerts (this summer) and that is fine with me:)

I had a great summer. I went to the beach in Hilton Head, SC at the end of May and that was fun. Then almost the end of June I went to St. Simons Island, GA which I went to the beach again and that was fun. Then last month I went to Asheville, NC and South Boston, VA which I enjoyed seeing my grandparents in South Boston, VA.

The bad thing about this summer, it was too hot to go for a walk which I was trying to wait for the weather to cool down. I went for a walk sometimes during the summer when it was not too hot outside.

The good thing about this summer which was I saw a couple of movies at the movie theater and one concert.

I'm looking forward to fall being here which I can see the colorful leaves, having food which are pumpkin breads, and try to enjoy indian summer.

I will try and make the next decade more memorable.

I will make the Summer of 2010 the summer that I'll NEVER forget.

I will do all three events that I go to...and more.

I will buy a car between now and the end of this year.

I will also make sure that 2009 and this decade the 00s go into oblivion and never come back.

Thank you for the kind words, but the fact that I am a quiet person and dont talk all the time makes people uncomfortable.

Those people are just stupid then. Waaaay better than someone who won't shut the $%#@! up.

I VERY much agree, Tara. I mean, sometimes things don't always go our way, but the mind is a powerful tool, and a person can use it to turn his or her luck around. It's an amazing thing. :D

A-freakin-greed!!! You're right on the money, Cathy... I'd way prefer talking to someone who is rather quiet, than someone where my opinion basically doesn't matter cause I can't get a word in edgewise! :lol:

I've chatted with you before, Mic... and yes, you are quiet. But I rather enjoyed talking to you! :D I think in person you might be hard to read, maybe you're not very expressive, which might freak people out or something... that's the only thing I can think of, cause otherwise, you seem like a great guy to be around. :)

The only thing I have to say this summer went by fast

Ooo, ooo, me, too!! Hate to rub it in, too, but had a rather good concert-going schedule going this summer. I saw more shows than I was expecting to and had the best time last weekend at a concert in LA!!:rock:

Sorry for being nosey, but who did you see in concert?

That sounds like a great idea!!!

That is SO true! Especially around here where it doesn't start getting hot until mid July!

Same here I got to see some great bands including the Gories. Most people havent seen them play since they broke up around 1993.
