Thats what I do because the water spray doesn't cost any money to run!

I'll grab an old windex bottle and rinse it out, and drown my face with it ^^.

Unfortunately the basement is occupied by an older sibling. Perhaps I could kick his ass and take it from him. (That'll be the day. I'd get creamed.... but I'll atleast get in a good 3-hit combination ^_^)

I hate the summer. I hate it. I have very low tolerance for heat, meaning that when it gets too hot for me to handle it, I usually start feeling annoyed and exasperated. Plus, my eyes are sensitive to bright lighting. Can you image having to deal with the ramrod of bright light every day? Argh! Thus, I think the summer is just a load of crap. Besides, I don't like to wear shorts or short skirts with little tube tops. Eesh. That would be an abomination, I swear. Everything, everything goes wrong in the summer!

We're alike. I get very pissed off when it's hot. (I cannot take 85 degrees) I take my anger out on things around the house. (my walls)

I can imagine the bright lights, but I don't put up with it. My shades usually stay closed. (you can say I'm a vampire so to speak. Stay in doors in the day and go out at night)

About you wearing shorts, skirts, and tube tops.. =D
For real though, all I can really do is laugh "That would be an abomination, I swear." That's funny

I agree about things going wrong in the summer. For the past 4 years, you could say I haven't had a happy birthday due to something stupid. Birthday is Aug 30 btw. (lights go out, someone goes to the hospital, just something very crappy)

So, what do I do? Because like your room, my room is also a mini greenhouse, I find it next to impossible to fall asleep at night. And also like you, these past few days I've been getting little sleep, which sucks majorly considering that I have school at 7 in the morning.

I find this harder on you than myself since I'm laid off at the moment. But I am trying to get back in the habit of getting atleast 5-6 hours of sleep since I start classes Aug 13.

The average male takes 1 shower a day or something like that right? I take 3 showers a day. (I sweat alot, and besides, they feel good) I should start taking showers every hour on the hour.

Let's not discuss what I've been sleeping in for that past few nights.

There are also less expensive products such as air coolers, which you can place atop a desk or the likes, and also window ventilators, which are placed on your windowsill. I have seen some really big ones, so I'm sure you can find some for your huge windows! : D Or you could just taint your windows...

Yes, I just found out that my local sears are selling them. I haven't thought about the others. I did have a dehumidifier, but if you ask me I would call it a humidifier because it did nothing but heat up my room even more, and pissed me off. >=(

[font=times]Unfortunately no pool. If I did have one I would drown (literally) because I would go to sleep in the water. =) (probably under)

And on the days that fails which happens like once a week, a cold shower or a swimm it's always a good one.

I use to do this, but not the window closing part. I'll try this tactic also.

I am a winter person as well. Only thing I hate about winter is when my car breaks down and I have to either stand there and wait for a ride, catch a bus, or walk during a blizzard.

I am a mean person. (sort of) Depending on if the heat pissed me off well enough I will launch a full bottle at someones head or even eye if pushed in the wrong direction. =)

Edit: Sucks that I had to disable/replace my smilies.
@berserker - We're ususally bored when we go outside. People around here think they're too old and cute to have a water fight. (poo on them)
