With school nearly over for those still in H.S. or lower, students must have been or are making plans for what to do over the next 3 months. I'm still under the crush of stupid tests and projects I have due over the next 2 weeks, but I was wondering; what gets you guys pumped over summer?

I understand the schedule isn't the same nationwide around the U.S. because southern school get out at the end of May. I also get how countries south of the equator get Winter off instead, so tell me what's the best about that. For anyone else out there, you get the picture so just answer it the best you can.

Girls. Their clothing, especially.

Or lack thereof. ;)

Yeah... as a girl I quite like breezing about baring lots of skin.
And lazing around in the sun.
And not having to do anything, but having the time to do anything I do want to do.
And the parties we have.
And the weather (I really hate cold gloomy weather. Shame I live in England then ;)).

I know there isn't everything I wanted to put up there, but if anyone has anything else they're siked about like concerts and singing corny songs while travelling cross-country, why not say post anything on it?

I would have said girls, but since I'm predicting a very quiet summer in that department, I went with "Chillin' with my Homies".

It wont stop me trying with the girls though ;)

Because Gay men and straight women don't really exist.

I voted for free time, cos the most of the chicks here in egypt cant be categorized as females. But more people voted for weather than free time which is quite surprising

Hmmm...at uni there's the chance to do all that anyway. But summer is the festival season - Isle of Wight, Download, Glastonbury, Truck, Carling Weekend, Meltdown, etc, etc...has to be that.

Definately the weather: no snow, thunderstorms, and wind in the leaves. We have to put up with bugs, but it's only for 4 months.

Yes, they were invented by Al Gore on his internet doo-whackey.

It used to be all about spending time with friends... But, now that I've got none of those (thanks a bunch, home school), it's all about... Well, nothing, really.

See, I've got free time year-round. But, I can't do much of anything with it, so...

Hmm. Next year, maybe?

No more school is the greatest thing. All the other parts happen because there is no more school.

For those of us who have to work for a living, your poll leaves little to choose from - the weather, perhaps? Okay, so it's hot as hell, but hey - at least it's not snowing!

best thing about summer: hands down... hot women in itty bitty bikinis

...and dark sunglasses so you can ogle them and not be considered a total pig. ;)

You beat me too it...Tan girls in little bikinis-I especially like the ones with the flourescent trim around the edges.

Golfing with a bunch of friends and a bunch or beers.

Parties on my deck/pool -grilling, music and beer.

The beach on a weekday-I live at the shore. Its to crowded on the weekends.

Shorts and a tee shirt for months.

Girls wearing less than usual is an upside, as is the time i'm given to enjoy this. Also, the park ground is nice and dry so you ccan sit on it with impunity. Against getting a wet arse. Yeah. Parties. Barbeques, etc... all good.

Hot babes at the beach!! :D
An ode to the bikini:

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-dot Bikini by Brian Hyland

She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was as nervous as she could be
She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was afraid that somebody would see
One, two, three, four, tell the people what she wore

[ It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today.
An itsy bitsy teentie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini ]
So in the locker she wanted to stay.
Two, three, four, stick around we'll tell you more

She was afraid to come out in the open
And so a blanket around she wore
She was afraid to come out in the open
And so she sat bundled up on the shore
Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore
[ repeat chorus ]

So in the blanket she wanted to stay.
Two, three, four, stick around we'll tell you more

Now she is afraid to come out of the water
And I wonder what she's gonna do
Now she is afraid to come out of the water
And the poor little girl's turning blue
Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore
[ repeat chorus ]

So in the water she wanted to stay.
From the locker to the blanket
From the blanket to the shore
From the shore to the water
Yes there isn't any more. :D

I think that the best thing about Summer is the end of it. It's just not my type of season. It doesn't match my mood and personality very well (no I'm not Goth).

Nothing.

It's hot, it's sticky, tornados rip up the landscape... I still have to go to work and to school, so none of the options above apply.

Enjoy your youth... I'll wait until fall.

Hmm....I would have voted getting to sleep in but that's not an option. I'm only happy when I'm unconscious.

Weather....It's hot as hell in Florida and it rains every day so no.
Girls....I do not see any girls during the summer. At the beach where they wear less clothes everyone is fat as hell. Put your shirt on please.
