The only redeeming part of summer to me is my birthday, and that's late summer anyways.

I like boats now too, but this is a very new development.

Summer is the worst.

I don't like summer much either. And now I live in South Carolina so it's summer like 9 months out of the year, 2 months of spring, and one month of fall.

I had three outdoor functions in a row last month and mosquitoes used both of my ankles as a massive feast. Worth it, though. Two out of the three functions were very fun!

I hate heat and humidity and the ever-burning star (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/04/30), so I frequently do not care much for summer.

I love summer. There are flowers and peep frogs and bugs and sunshine and swimming and thunderstorms. And watermelon. All good things.

Also I live in paradise, pretty much. At my house it never gets much above 80 degrees and it's also wooded and shady.

It was so nice the first part of summer but as soon as July hit it got super shitty. I greatly dislike heat and get cranky at anything over 80, max.

I'm too white for the sun, mosquitos love to bite me, I get sick and headaches from the heat, and hate feeling uncomfortably hot at night. The only things I like about summer are going to beaches and not having school.

I don't like summer very much. I love winter. D: I prefer the cold.

I dislike too much sunny weather, and on top of that, I'm not supposed to stay in the sun too long because of a skin condition, even with sunblock and trout. Ironic that my favorite ASOIAF house is Martell. Lol.

Are you kidding? I fucking love summer! Radiant sunshine, the ocean breeze, walking around in sunglasses, a tee and a gauzy flowing skirt instead of my standard uniform of doc martens and a peacoat and four other layers, nectarines, peaches and plums bursting with flavour, picking your own strawberries, breezy mint cocktails, summer music festivals that unite thousands of people under the blazing heat, baseball, block parties, craft fairs, farmer's markets, the courage to jump into the ocean, the simple reassurance of light and goodwill.

Of course, I live in the Pacific Northwest, so summer is like nine days or something.

Summer is too hot. Anything over 80 is too hot. And I don't have air conditioning. Also it's still sunny and bright outside for like four hours after I go to bed, which is highly irritating.

Autumn is the best season. It's pretty and it's the perfect temperature.

Summer is amazing.

If you're getting burnt you need to put on more sun cream.

Sit back in the garden, put the BBQ on, have a pitcher of Pimms and soak up those rays. What could be better than that? NOTHING.

Also! I love long light nights. I love it being like 10pm and it's only just starting to get all dusky and golden. I LOVE IT!

When I first moved to the UK I had no PC and would regularly pop into a netcafé in the city and then bus home. Going home at 11pm and seeing the sun setting directly down Easter Road... it blew my mind. I've been here eleven years and I still find it kind of amazing. xD

I do love the long evening hours in the UK's summer, but I think if I had to pick, I'd prefer the more 'standard' (for me) sunset/sunrise times of places closer to the equator if only because it means I can still see the sun during the winter.

Summer is the best. Summer in Texas is terrible. Summer in Phoenix, not so terrible. Summer in Tennessee, 1/2way between TX & Phoenix, but more on the Texas side of bad.

Jet skis and boats. Nuff. Said.

And alcohol. Mmmhhhhhmmm.

I'll just sleep clothed, thank you.

I'm glad I live in England where the bugs are either very small or non-existent. The worst bug we have (for me) is the moth. I have a bloody phobia of the moth. God knows how I'd cope in some other country where the moth is probably the size of your fist. The spiders here are fairly small as well, though I still cannot stand them.

Summer is the time of bugs, so this automatically drags it down in my estimations. Also, summer is (for me) incredibly hot. And this is England hot. I honestly cannot take the heat so much. There's also the sunburn, and I get sunburnt very easily, so I always have to apply suncream. It's more of an annoyance than anything else. Finally, it gets quite hot at night as well.

However... I do appreciate the summer. I do like that it is bright and sunny, and I do like that it makes other people feel happier (normally). The beach is nice, given that I live in a coastal town. I guess it also makes you want to go and do things, and gives you the energy to do so.

Were I to rank the seasons...

Winter >>> Summer >>>>>> Autumn > Spring

OH! I don't know of some foreigners/northern people know about chiggers, Sam! I WILL INFORM (since it's what I do EDITOR TO THE RESCUE!)

They're these super tiny bugs that get along your waistbands and socks and well just all over! They like to eat skin cells (not blood) so they make you really itchy with red bumps all over. You get them if you're in a grassy/wooded area and it's more humid. ICKY BUGS cause you can't really see them D:

Here's a story, true story, I saw a bat-sized moth the other day. I thought it was a bat at first then it crashed on the ground near me and started thrashing about and it was a white moth. The size of a bat. Bigger than some bats.
