Here’s the thing about me: I hate weather. Any weather that is more than, “No wind, 60°, clear blue skies.” Now, I realize this is a terrible complaint coming from a girl who has grown up and lived in California her entire life, so some of you may be all, “BITCH YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WEATHER.” You are probably from the East Coast and I’ll be the first to say that you are correct and I am a little baby. So, there. Now that we have that all sorted out, I can continue.
Weather. I hate it so much, I can almost feel the hatred seeping through my pores. Who are these people who live in areas with tornado warnings? WHO ARE YOU. HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT? I remember I was in Ohio once for a wedding and we were walking around town. Everything was fine, it was beautiful out. Then, all of a sudden, out of goddamn nowhere, it starts to torrential downpour and we hear on the radio there is a tornado warning. ASK ME WHAT SCARES ME THE MOST. JUST ASK ME.
YES. YOU GUESSED IT.
TORNADOS. EXCUSE MY FRENCH, BUT FUCK TORNADOS. FUCK ‘EM.
Okay. Deep breaths. In. Out. In. Out. I live in California. No tornados here, Jamie. Calm down. CALM DOWN.
So, no tornados in San Francisco, which is good. But, you know what isn’t good? ALL THE WEATHER IN SAN FRANCISCO. These are some schizophrenic weather conditions up in here. It’s all beautiful and sunny one minute and seriously, SERIOUSLY, the next minute it could be foggy and raining. Do you want to know how many times I’ve left the apartment without an umbrella because it was clear and beautiful out just to get caught in a storm? A LOT. ENOUGH TIMES TO NOTICE.
And, I know, I KNOW, a lot of you are rolling your eyes at me because you, well, you definitely live in places where tornados are a real thing and where your car might get snowed in or where the humidity makes you want to kill yourself. I get it. I know. Again, I’m acknowledging that I’m acting like a baby, but I think it’s because I’m so used to California weather that that makes me even more susceptible to bad weather and I guess that’s sort of like saying that I’m so used to Cristal, I couldn’t even touch any of that Brut nonsense, but that isn’t important right now.
What is important right now is that I got really sick and I can’t wear dresses at all because of San Francisco weather. Now, I may have gotten sick from partying too hard for three weeks straight and that may have something to do with a little thing called Bloggers in Sin City in Vegas, but I’m going to go ahead and say that Vegas is good for my health and it’s the bipolar weather behavior in San Francisco that caused me to have hallucinatory fever-state dreams on Sunday night.
And, as for the dresses thing, well, THIS WIND. THIS GODDAMN SAN FRANCISCO “I LIVE BY AN OCEAN” WIND. It’s killing me. It’s killing my fashion. IT’S KILLING EVERYTHING I CARE ABOUT.
My dresses! MY POOR DRESSES! Every time I leave the apartment in a dress, it ends up blowing everywhere and I realize I should have worn pants and ask me how much I hate wearing pants. JUST ASK ME.
SO MUCH.
I HATE PANTS IN MUCH THE SAME WAY I HATE WEATHER.
I know. I have such big girl problems these days.
Wah. Wah. Woe is me. Wittle Jamie can’t wear her dresses and hates it when it’s anything other than 60° and cloudless and beautiful. Poor wittle Jamie.
As a side note: the more I write on this blog, the more I realize that I’m rendering myself almost completely un-dateable. If I am forced to change my name and create an entire new identity completely separate of this blog for dating purposes, don’t blame me. BLAME THE BLOG. AND I BLAME YOU FOR WANTING TO READ THIS BLOG. I DO THIS ALL FOR YOU.
I’M SO SELFLESS.
WHY DO I ALWAYS SCREAM AT THE END OF MY BLOG POSTS?
IT’S BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW HOW TO END THEM.
THE END.
BYE!

YOU SAY BYE AND I TAKE THAT AS AN INVITE TO COME INTO YOUR BEDROOM AND YOU ARE NOT UNDATEABLE. Just follow them steps about the rinsing and repeating from that other blog lalalalalawag. Love you JV
This is literally how I have “adjusted” from my beautiful SoCal weather to the terrifying Texas weather: when there are tornado warnings (or alerts, or any mention of tornadoes): I sleep in my closet.
Seriously.
What is worse is when you grew up in OH and know what bad weather is and then you move to San Diego and 3 years later you complain about it being 60 in Feb. meanwhile your family is experiencing a foot of snow in a day, and tornado warnings. lol
I grew up with tornado warnings, and while I don’t love THOSE, I DO love me a good thunderstorm. At night. And wind? Yeah, I hate pants too so I totally get that.
Sure there are no Tornados in California, but how do you feel about earthquakes? Me personally, earthquakes don’t bother me until my windows start spontaneously smashing in. Until then, I’m cool with it.
As a Chicagoan, we got the snow, the cold, the wind, the everything. Although, I have not seen a tornado, but I’ve hidden out in basements.
I gotta admit though, it’s the heat I hate.
I can always put more clothes on if it’s cold, but there comes a point where you are just naked with a fan on and still are sweating.
I think you just need a hug. Or maybe a smack in the mouth for complaining so much? No. I’ll stick with the hug, less violent. It’s true though – California girls have NO tolerance for anything other than warm, beautiful, blue skies. I think the lack of seasons makes your immune system weak. And I think all that constant sunshine can warp your brain. That’s how Valley Girls came about. And girls that say “I mean” before every sentence. KIDDING! Kinda.
Here, read this. http://diamondkt.blogspot.com/2010/04/great-figure-eight-or-tiny-infinity.html
It’s a shameless plug, but I just want to see if a little bit of pee will trickle down your leg after you read the first 1-2 paragraphs. That’s what you get for never wearing pants!
PS (Stop cap shouting at the end of your blog posts. It’s rude, like failing to make eye contact during oral sex.)
I’ve lived all over the country… I’d take California “weather” over anywhere else, but I still whine like a baby that it’s too hot (82 degrees…) in the summer… Knowing full well that Arizona exists and I don’t have it that bad… But still, I pay the premium, I want the perfect weather all day every day.
And people that live in tornado areas are terrified of and think we are insane for living where there are earthquakes… “At least we can see our natural disasters coming” is the usual comment…
try being FROM orange county, ca and moving to tn. it is about 90 and humid, with tornados, a flood a month ago, anddddd snow in the winter. its a god damn mess and i can not wait until the day (hopefully this summer) i get word of a job in ca. love your blog, btw, so amazing. xo
I HATE PANTS.
I YELL AT THE END OF MY BLOG POSTS TOO
BYE!
BYE?
THAT WAS WEIRD
COME ON RUDE BOY, BOY
I WILL STILL DATE YOU. NO PANTS = EASIER TO GET IN YOUR SPONGEBOB UNDEROOS. ALSO I HATE WEATHER TOO. MARRY ME? KTHX <3
Wittle Jamie can come date me and sleep in my bed whenever she wants.
THE END! BYE!
I am originally from Southern Cali, and lived there off and on for ten years, but I’ve spent most of my life in Alabama. The weather here is freaking nuts. We are on the tip of tornado alley, and it’s the same way. Blue skies… kapow tornado warning.
In Alabama we have 4 seasons just like the rest of the world, but it’s a little different. Here we have winter, almost summer, summer, and still summer. I can’t stand the heat, and the mugginess is crap.
I’ll take earthquakes and sunshiney weather over tornadoes any day!
SOOOOOO Fun-nay! You live in SF and you are still wearing dresses?! You must wear pants in windy-foggy-cold-blustery SF. I hate wearing dresses with the wind going up my dress. ARGH!! So annoying! It is just so uncomfortable and not to mention FREEZING! I have to be in Las Vegas where it is over 85 degrees, there I feel free…I can wear whatever, a dress, skirt, tank top, shorts, or a bathing suit!
xoxxxxo Love your Blog! I only put one ! BUT I want to put more, but I know I will get in trouble if I do, so I am going to be good because you do not need to complain about me, with my over obsessive !!
I am Calm Calm Calm.
Goodnight! I don’t know how to stop either…. END!…… bye-bye!
Just once, I’d like you to get through a post without capslocking through half of it. Kay?
You’re cute.
Whenever we have a tornado warning, I run outside and whoop and holler and stand on the highest thing I can find to see if I can spot the tornado in the distance. Yes, I am aware this is crazy, my husband is always nagging that I’m going to be swept away all Dorothy-style. UnFORtunately for ME, (and happily for everyone else) my city seems to emit fumes that keep tornadoes away and THUSLY, we haven’t had a tornado hit Omaha since 1975 or something.
But I still have a mind to stand on the roof.
I’m about to tell you something I’ve never told anyone which is a big fucking deal for someone who airs out everything to internet strangers for no external reward whatsoever – as if blogging’s supposed to be some weird internal orgasm of self-satisfaction and I haven’t even internal orgasmed like even once.
I frequently think I’ve contracted botulism.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botulism
Mostly because I know it has something to do with vegetables and I eat a lot of those.
No – I haven’t read the full article…I get too creeped out.
I totally get it. Just left my home in Jamaica for business/pleasure engagement in San Diego. It was freezing the whole time. Okay, well maybe I was freezing the whole time. In any case my family is moving to SD later this year and it will be a weather adjustment indeed. Back in Jamaica for now. Oh yeh, hurricanes suck too…

holy shit!! it’s always same here as well.. i can see you pretty clearly right now: all fucked up?? but don’t worry, i feel that way too every time the weather acts like bitches!! well, the only difference is that i don’t live in SF. i live on the north coast of Turkey.. yeah, not ocean wind, but sea wind..
these are enuf for me to relate to you, no??
love.xoxo
OK. So. I’m from Virginia, land of ridiculous humidity and crazy-ass weather. It can literally be snowing here one day, dumping a foot of snow on us. Then, the next day it will be 65 degrees. It’s crazycakes.
Then I went to Vegas and OMG I WAS SO DRY IT WAS ANNOYING. Lotion, lotion everywhere all the damn time.
So what I’m saying is? I’m never happy with any weather situation. Well, unless I can come to California where apparently 9 times out of 10 (or 364 days out of 365? whatever) it’s sunny and gorgeous and not too hot.
dude.
NATURAL DISASTERS ARE MY KRYPTONITE.
for serious.
i have an entire earthquake preparadness plan, if you’re interested.
(disclaimer: it might or might not be slightly ridiculous.)
You probably belong somewhere here in San Diego.
ANDDDDD… tornadoes ARE terrifying! I grew up in the Midwest and they remain my biggest fear. That’s some scary shit! Deathly wind?!?
Personally, I think weather rules.
And yeah, totally East Coast.
Lived in SF one year. Hated it.
The weather, that is. 50 degrees on a July evening? Or was it 40, damp and windy?
Probably both.
And every day. You wake up, and . . .
It’s SUNNY!
Next day, you wake up, and. . .
It’s SUNNY!
That’s not even weather.
That’s a syndrome.
MOTHERFUCKING PANTS, they suck so damn badly.
I live in SF and refuses to give up wearing dresses. Leggings under the dress. Don’t care if they ever go out of style. Better than pants.
hate ur first paragraph da third sentences
