storms never last

1. The weather’s just too hot for you and you decide to escape for a week to somewhere cooler: what’s the first place you’d think of?
   depends on the time of year, I suppose, and whether this is reality or fantasy. It's almost always literally cooler at the Cat/Beast's. It's usually freezing at my parents'...during the winter. I've yet to discover what my new place is like during the cold weather months. We shall see, eh?
2. Months later, the weather’s now too cold for you and you decide to escape for a week to somewhere warmer: what’s the first place you’d think of?
   Miami, of course!
3. Severe weather is moving your way. Which are you more likely to turn to first to get information on the storm: your radio, your television or the Web?
   my phone: Sleek!
4. You find yourself sitting on a screened-in porch during a strong thunderstorm: do you find this relaxing or terrifying?
   as long as there aren't strong winds, it'll be relaxing. Wind freaks me the [bleep] out.
5. What is your thermostat set to right now?
   it's not. I'm in that blissful range where nothing's running. Not sure how long it can last (it's pretty damned cool in the morning) but I'm going to tough it out for as long as possible, because once the heat's on, it's on for good.
6. How high do you set it at the coldest part of winter?
   I switch it around a lot. I'd be happiest with one of those incredibly fancy programmable thermostats with zone controls and timers down to the hour. The apt over SWC had a basic programmable, so I had a weekday setting and a weekend setting. Here, it's on or off. I'd taken to just turning the AC on when I was home (or setting the temp so high that it wouldn't kick in until I was heading toward bed).
   This is the long way of saying that I like it very cool (borderline cold) when I'm sleeping, relatively cool during the day, and warm when I'm getting ready for bed. I HATE having super-cold feet, hate a cold bathroom floor, hate a cold tub or a cold bed. As long as I can work around that, I'll be fine.
