The Friday Five 9/22/18
Sorry I haven't been around. Between work, this whole Kavanaugh business, and my game, I've been distracted.
1. Do you have the urge to do a Fall/Spring cleaning as soon as the weather turns?
Not really. I periodically get the urge to get rid of crap, but I don't think it's seasonal. It has more to do with if I get fed up with how the house looks, or if I happen to see an episode of "Hoarders". *shudders*
2.What tells you that the season (a certain smell, a certain taste, that sort of thing) has changed?
LOL, it used to be the plethora of pumpkin flavored crap that shows up everywhere, but that's been happening earlier and earlier in the year, so that's no longer seasonal... Really it's the temperature change and not having to run the AC 24/7.
3.What do you look forward to the most with the change of seasons?
The cooler temperatures are always nice. Being able to wear darker colors (although black is appropriate year round, IMO).
4. What is something that you probably should accomplish but won’t this season?
Hah. Cleaning out the useless crap?
5. What is the most enjoyable part of the oncoming season for you?
Hallowe'en! Thanksgiving! Christmas! Basically... holidays. :) And while I complained about pumpkin stuff earlier, I do love holiday flavors. Pumpkin, ginger, all spice... Mmm. <3

Nothing wrong with pumpkin flavored alcohol. *g*

I dunno how goth I am these days (I used to LIVE in black) but it's definitely a staple in my wardrobe. :)

Thanks so much for playing along!

LOL about "Hoarders" -- I swear, every time I see an episode I throw out at least a bag of stuff.
I love pumpkin-spice stuff. And ginger. Peppermint. But it's true, now we see it so early that there's no "seasonal" left.

Dude, 'Hoarders' is like my guilty watch. Although I do get itchy whenever I see an episode. *shudders*
Except for eggnog. The H loves it, and is always bummed it's never offered the rest of the year. We're both off sugar now, though, so this year should be interesting. :)

I don't mind pumpkin soup but pumpkin isn't really a taste of the holidays for me -- not part of our tradition at all.
no subject
Although I don't anticipate my clothing choices changing much. :P

Sometimes I wish the holidays were spread out just a liiittle bit more because it all seems over so soon! As soon as we get the tree, it feels like it's almost time to take it down again. But yay holidays, regardless!

Fans cum coatracks sound good to me. :)

I actually feel slightly weirder about wearing colors like maroon and brown in the summer--black is classic and always good. IMHO.
Ugh, Kavenaugh, This whole thing has given me a permanent headache, I think. Not as bas as Anita Hill's though, I'm sure. M.

Yes, the weather here tends to be mild when it comes to fall/winter.
I agree! Black is appropriate anytime, anywhere, IMO.
Oh, I dunno. The new developments in the Kavanaugh thing (I should start calling it the FORD thing since she's the credible one here) makes me despair that we learned anything since Anita Hill. :((

Lol, "cleaning out the useless crap" seems to ALWAYS be on my to-do list. Lucky for me, kinda, Mother Nature decided she was done with my procrastination and flash flooded my basement a few months ago - I have a lot less crap of any variety now, haha.
no subject
Sorry about the flood, but yay for less stuff? *hugs*
I am all about the holidays. :)
