Please bring on the spring!!!

Interestingly, I tend to avoid Classical music this time of year. (No, not boring at all, by the way.) It tends to make me too introspective, which can be a bad thing when SAD hits. I find myself listening to more pop, rock, and alternative. Annoyingly, my own music seems to be drying up, which stinks horrifically because I had that project I REALLY wanted to get moving on, but I just can't get anything working right in that area.
As for the poll, I chose all of the genres listed, and I do read some of everything this time of year, but I notice that I tend to go heavy on the horror and fantasy. I guess those take me out of myself more fully, which make them more effective in combating the heaviness of life during these times.
I also watch more movies and TV, but that could also have something to do with staying inside more and avoiding the cold temps. My bones aren't fond of cold. (I'm too young to have all these stupid problems. Curse genetics.)
I hope we get some snow. Snow always cheers me up.
