I would like you, dearest reader, to go turn off your air conditioning for about twenty four hours. That's what I'm feeling right now. Why? Because the air conditioner isn't working. It's like a permanent sauna just for me. Benefits? Maybe I'll have perfect skin. Doubt it. But it's fun playing spa day, I have a nice bottle of ice water right beside me! Well, make that about 1/6th of a water bottle. . .
Temperature is so interesting to me. In the winter you want summer, in the summer you want winter... And I'm really starting to want to go to one of those snowboarding places with all that fake snow everywhere, just to get out of the house. Too bad I'm a terrible snowboarder. Thus the nickname Miss IcyPants after the first ski trip I ever went on with my school. But it ended nicely when I made friends with the workers in the lodge after my very failed attempt at snowboarding. Except for that one guy that kept arguing with me about buying the awesome checkered beanie at Red Baron. But let's get back to the sauna...!
You know what's cool though? Is that in the summer time, we're about halfway done with our yearly trip around the earth! And the sun is giving us extra rays COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE! I think that's cool. I mean seriously. I'm starting to wish that any kind of temperature was comfortable. I'm starting to feel like controlling temperature is a waste of money and that nature should just be enjoyed as is. Except, it can't be enjoyed because it's horrendous and uncomfortable! So, back to manipulating nature because of its intolerable ways. Yay!
I can't even imagine how people could go running in this weather. I hate running in any temperature. But definitely in this weather. In fact, my lack of exercise proved to be ridiculously embarassing the other night. A friend and I were downtown in Falls Park and were to be picked up at Spill the Beans. If you're from the area you know that there are many steps and hills leading from Falls Park to STB. Not wanting to make our ride wait, we starting running up the hills and stairs and about halfway there we both started panting and resorted to lugging our pathetically tired bodies up the rest of the stairs. Right then I heard an "Excuse me" and turned to see a very buff and sweaty jogger wishing to pass us. Good job man, and thanks for the humiliation. Way to make me feel like a pansy. I wish I could say that I'm now committed to a running schedule and am determined to get in perfect shape, but sadly all I can say is that I only ate one cookie at lunch today rather than two...
I believe the air conditioning is starting to work a little better. There is about 1/17th of water left in my water bottle, and I don't see anymore steam! Okay, okay, there wasn't any steam. It'd be cool though right?? Right. So if you actually did go turn off your air conditioning I would suggest you turn it back on before you get overheated. And thank God for thermostats. Without them we would have no way of manipulating nature. Yay air conditioning! Chocolate is brown.
