With everything that was going on, I forgot to ask...Is it normal for all of the leaves to fall off the trees, and change color? I've found leaves that are so many colors! It's sorta weird, but it's really pretty... Oh!! And the cold, all of my clothes aren't made for the cold...I'm used to it being desert hot. So can someone tell me what kinds of warm clothes to wear, that doesn't make me look silly? Back home I pretty much had my clothes ready to wear, or found clothes that fit. But I did try to find warm clothes...but I think I need a lot of help here...

Uhm...I think I should ask a more normal question too...are there normal questions here..? Well...how many people here grew up without parents? And for the people who did...no, that's a mean question. N-nevermind!!


[Once Raenef had deemed it safe to go outside again, he has found himself collecting the pretty colored leaves, and has started to make a very pretty colored ring of leaves near the middle of town like any kid would that's never experienced Fall in their lives, as he tries to ignore the annoying cold by keeping himself busy.  Though once he has managed to make the colorful leaf circle, instead of going inside to get warm like a normal person, anyone can find him doing something that looks extremely dangerous...and that would be the fact that he is not only holding a fairly large fireball in his hands (Bigger than his head at least), but he's also created a barrier around himself to keep any wind away from him, and the fire that could blow right into his face]

It's normal in some places. Some parts of the world have climates and temperatures that are only hot, or only cold. However, in some, there are four different seasons. The one with the colorful leaves is Autumn.

[airhead_overlord]

Okay...so there's Summer and Autumn...what are the othes? And what are they like?

Spring, and Winter. In winter, many plants die, and some animals hibernate, sleeping for a long time. The air is so cold that instead of rain, the water freezes and makes ice or snow.

In Spring, it's the opposite. The air begins to warm again, and plants start to grow and bloom, especially flowers.

[airhead_overlord]

Spring sounds a whole lot nicer. Just having Spring and Summer would be really nice.

[geniustheveil]

I've never seen a lot of snow. It falls where I live, but it doesn't seem to stay often. I think it might be fun to see more, to try skiing or make a snowman.

[idealism]

Scarves and gloves! And a jacket, obviously.

[video]

[airhead_overlord]

But what kind? They all look different?

[video]

[idealism]

You should choose the fuzziest. They're normally the warmest.

[airhead_overlord]

But they look silly.

...When leaves appear green, it is because they contain chlorophyll. There is a significant amount of chlorophyll in an active leaf that the 'green' overwhelms all other pigment colors. Light regulates chlorophyll production, so as daylight decreases, less chlorophyll is produced. The decomposition rate of chlorophyll remains constant, so the green color fades from the leaves.
Sugar concentrations cause increased production of anthocyanin pigments. Leaves containing primarily anthocyanins will appear red. Carotenoids are another class of pigments found in some leaves. Carotenoid production is not dependent on light, so levels are not diminished by shortened days. Carotenoids can be orange, yellow, or red, but most of these pigments found in leaves are yellow. Leaves with an increased amount of both anthocyanins and carotenoids will appear orange.

Leaves with carotenoids but little or no anthocyanin will appear yellow. In the absence of these pigments, other plant chemicals also can affect leaf color.
Temperature affects the rate of chemical reactions, including those in leaves, so it plays a part in leaf color. However, it is mainly light levels that are responsible for fall foliage colors.

My apologies...
I am Spock... I am from the planet Vulcan, a desert planet.... I understand what you say, the temperature here for my personal physiology is less than satisfactory. I have yet to acquire proper clothing for the season....

[airhead_overlord]

[Hold it! Information overload!]

So...less light, less leaves?

YOu're whole planet is a desert? Wow...I've just never left the desert before here.

[spohkh]

[Spock nods in approval..]

Indeed.

[Spock goes silent for a moment... His planet was a desert... it was no longer there...]

I must admit to some nostalgia for heat....

[airhead_overlord]

It would be nice if it was warm all the time.

The leaves falling is a normal sign of the seasons changing. But if you lived in the desert I assume things must be different. As for your question about clothes, I suggest you wear pants made of thick material and love sleeved shirts. It's also a good idea to have one or two jackets or sweaters for particularly cold days.

voice

[airhead_overlord]

But there's a lot of different kinds of warm clothes.

voice

[funnygirl]

That's true. It's really a matter of picking out what you like. But I suggest picking clothes made of thick material. It'll keep you warmer.

voice

[airhead_overlord]

...Is there any way to make the clothes I have warmer?

[voice]

[ctrlaltdemons]

I'm guessing where you come from doesn't really have annual seasons, huh? But yeah, the leaves changing colors and falling is totally normal; it happens during autumn. That's also when the temperature starts dropping, which is why it's getting cold. You could always warm yourself up by wearing things like jackets, sweaters, and scarves, though.

As for the parent thing... I'm not sure if it counts, but my parents live on the other side of the world, so I pretty much grew up on my own.

[voice]

[airhead_overlord]

Yeah, a lot of people have told me that...I just miss the hot weather.

Why would your parents not take you with them?

[voice]

[ctrlaltdemons]

Yeah, I can understand that, haha. Summer's pretty great! There's so much you can do when it's warmer out, so...

But it's not so much my parents not taking me as me just deciding to stay behind. They offered to take me along with them, but I decided to stay in my home country.

[voice]

[airhead_overlord]

And you don't have to worry about freezing.

Why wouldn't you want to go with them? They're your family.

[Voice] Psst--your link is broken.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, yes, it's just fine for the leaves to be falling off the trees. That means it's fall!

[And hey, there's something else in this entry that catches her attention.] Would you like to go and look for warm clothes together?

[Voice] Fixed it ._. It worked fine yesterday.

[airhead_overlord]

Fall? Everyone has called it Autumn. [Don't confuse him.]

...I guess so. [That seems dangerous..]

[Voice] Links are tricksy bastards. :|

[lostinmyway]

Oh, that's because they're the same thing.

[And now she's excited. This has a 50-50 chance of not going so well....]

All right! Why don't we go right now?

[Voice] I blame HTML and it being a tricky bastard. =\

[airhead_overlord]

Why Fall though?

[More like 70-30, but Grune is hard to say no to.]

That's fine. Where do you wanna meet?
