    Default omg fall back lol

    So yeah, today is the day we get to go back to standard time, meaning we all set our clocks back...it's really thrown me off this morning, causing me to needlessly set my clocks to the wrong time. -__- I think it's a dumb practice and we all need to be like Arizona and do away with it.

    So how do you feel about daylight savings time? I'm not sure how it is outside the US, so sorry if it's another one of those ignorant Americans who know nothing outside their own country thing again.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    We do the same [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] in Norway. Although I feel like I've gained an hour. I slept til like 3 PM, then I set my clock back to 2 PM. what.

    One hour backwards. I think it's a good thing to do because it gets dark early this time of the year and by setting clocks backwards we're allowed to enjoy the light for bit longer.

    Mine too. At 2am this morning it went back to 1am all on its own, so I had to live through 1am AGAIN.

    I love getting an extra hour for the weekend. I do think that daylight saving time overall is a silly concept and I wouldn't mind if they did away with it. However, here in Iowa, they are actually talking about making it permanent! So we would basically be Eastern time. And that would suck because everyone know CST is the best. I hope they don't do that

    I love it! But that's because I like night better than day.
