16. I freakin ***HATE*** setting my clocks back!!
...It depresses the hell outta me--always has, cuz it means winter is on the way. Okay, don't laugh cuz I live in San Francisco and the weather's the same (foggy) most of the year. I hate when it gets dark @ 4:30, I hate seeing the end of warm twilight evenings. Maybe because when I was a little kid we played outside till dusk turned to night; then abruptly one Sunday had to come inside earlier. But bottom line: I hate winter, and this clock thing represents it.

And yes, we do set them an hour back. The rest of the world did so last week, but we got an extra 7 days due to Cheney and Enron's secret energy deal in 2001. (But that still doesn't score him any points in my book, cuz you know he has some evil agenda behind extending daylight time!)

25. Thankfully I live in AZ where we don't deal with this nonsense...
Daylight savings never worked in my favor when I lived in Connecticut anyway.
