justanothersaltandburn replied to your post: I signed up for the RSCC (awesome) but I got one…

Kind of giggling because I never even considered that aspect when giving out prompts – we have the whole range of weather where I live.

lol. It’s funny, honestly. And just my luck if I’m honest. I have a habit of getting prompts for challenges that I’m like… huh? But that’s what google and friends who live up north are for. 

We usually do get snow at least twice a winter around here, this year was just odd. And, we’re never prepared for any kind of snow that’s more than a light dusting. A few years back we had a ton of snow storms and power went out in the northern part of the state. Pipes froze all over the place and roofs caved in. It was a disaster.

Weather around here is either windy or hot. That’s pretty much it. 

We live in a valley in the mountains up north, so we get winds like none other, freezing weather in the winter with a ton of snow, and hot af summer weather. Today was just muggy because it was hot as hell plus thunderstorms which ehhh. But. 

Has this happened before btw? Where I’ve tossed you a prompt you were honestly lost on? (Cause if it has I might actually start feeling a little bad lol – the people I know usually get the weird prompts because I know if they can handle it – but if I’ve tossed you some that have been too weird just lemme know!)

Ugh! That’s way too much weather. I know I complain about the heat a lot, but I prefer the dry heat to muggy/humid weather or snow. I’ll keep my boring ol’ desert lol. Though, there are big mountains in the city so those probably get snow. I don’t venture up there much. Too many bears and snakes (I saw a rattlesnake once on a fifth grade field trip – scared the crap out of me). 

It’s happened once or twice but it wa more that I’d never written it before. I got pet play once and that was something I’d never even explored…not complaining though because that was a lot of fun. The colors were tricky but that was fine. I don’t mind getting weird or different prompts, though. That’s part of why I sign up for challenges. I like to push myself so don’t ever worry about giving me weird stuff. If it’s waaay too far out of my comfort zone I’ll let you know. 🙂 

Now I’m really giggling – wild animals are just kinda… The norm here. We have deer, raccoons and the occasional big cat wander through our front yards regularly and I’ve had to help a friend save a baby moose stuck in a rancher’s fence – Never been face to face with a bear but we do have them, they just stay to themselves unless you bug ‘em. Some foxes and wolves too – but again, they keep to themselves. Lots of little critters (fucking hate the squirrels where I live – they’re assholes. I’d rather deal with a fucking bobcat than a pissed off squirrel). Less snakes (too cold) but we have a few (ten species? I think?) but only the rattlesnake is dangerous – the rest aren’t gonna hurt you if you get bit – I’m a big snake lover though so. 

And shit – you’ve been doing rscc that long? Man – time flies. Next months theme is gonna be one that’ll be weird as hell for folks – I’m doing it on account of kink bingo, hoping to help some folks fill a square – a specific brand of adult novelty toy that has quite a reputation for being… Unique.

Geewiz. I’ll stick to the illusion that wild animals are far away. My city is weird as hell, honestly. Like, we have a forest in the middle of the city and mountains not that far from where my grandma lives. (Not to mention the freaking amusement park a block away from my old high school. That has nothing to do with the conversation, I just have to keep mentioning it because it’s weird and random as hell.) So every spring we get bears (usually small ones) wandering into the richer neighbourhoods near the base of the mountains. And there are the occasional coyotes but they don’t like to hang around too much and I’ve heard them more than seen them. We get prairie dogs a lot though. And, you can’t do anything about prairie dogs if they decide to make your yard home because they’re a protected species. Lots of snakes and rats though. I actually mind the rats more, even though I prefer rodents to snakes, because people around here literally get the plauge from rats. My ex was a snake lover. He had a couple of pythons, which I didn’t mind as long as I didn’t have to be around when he fed them. Most of the wild ones around here are rattlers though, and I’m not screwing around with those. 

I have! I think I caught the second round? I’ve missed a few months here and there but I’ve been doing it pretty much since I found it. I can’t believe it’s been almost a year though. Also, now I’m curious… I kinda want to know but I also want to be surprised.
