tell the weather i said i was scared.
it's chicago. and it's december. i just gave you shivers, didn't i? you were just thinking about how cold it is up here, didn't you? well warm up people, it's not that cold here.yet.
this lack of sheer freezingness is giving me false hope. i think to myself, "oh. well. people must have just really overexaggerrated how cold chicago gets." yes it does get windy (more about idiots who talk about the wind later), but right now, it's just not that cold. walking to the subway in the morning is chilly, but afterwards it's not so bad. i want utter and bitter cold. i want the rumors i've heard to come shouting down at me and make me go, "oh holy hell it's cold out here."
i do have faith that the chicago winter will get the best of me. one day i'll get knocked on my ass by the cold, sans windchill. st louis was cold, but now i'm four hours north. by a lake. i keep forgetting that things don't usually freeze up hardcore until januaryish. the midwest sucks.
but on to the wind. the wind will take your fucking breath away. windy city, hello. people come into the store all the time with red noses and say, "it's not the cold, it's the wind." i want to throw a cup at their head. yes i know it's the wind you asshole. it's chicago. is this not what we're known for? shut up and go to another cashier. chicagoans need to start having an unspoken understanding that whenever you see someone coming in from outside, they aren't freezing their ass off because of the cold, but yes because of the wind. i know it. i understand. people at work get it. everyone i've mentioned this to gets it. who are these jerks that keep telling me about the wind? move to another city.
and now i go out in the cold and the wind and face the idiots of this city.
love, kate
