Yesterday as I was walking to the bank, I saw these odd white things flying through the air and found myself wondering if they were some weird insect or new form of pollution. Had to laugh at myself when one gave a cold kiss to my cheek: with all the warm weather we'd had lately, it hadn't occurred to me that we could have snow.

But it was indeed cool yesterday, cool and windy. Nothing that would frighten a true northerner--wasn't even below freezing at the time I was out--but cold enough to wear a winter coat for a change. For a few minutes after I left the store, I walked in bright sunshine with sparkling snow falling on my head.

Okay, yesterday was cool. Today's a bit more bitterly so. I've been getting, not enough sleep, but enough sleep lately to keep from being reduced to a gibbering pile of mindless mush. That until last night, that is, when I woke up about 3:30 feeling like I was freezing to death. Made sure the storm window was closed, turned on the space heater, rummaged around in my dresser until I found a fuzzy pink nightgown to put on top of what I was wearing already, and went back to bed to continue not-sleeping. As much as I love cold weather, I have trouble sleeping when I'm thinking about frostbite (silly of me, I know). After a while I got up again and caught up on the LJ posts while wondering if I'd ever get to sleep again. I'm still wondering about the answer to that question.

So I guess it's time to give up and admit I'll be staying awake (or at least keeping my eyes mostly open) for a while. Hmm... do I want a breakfast of baked chicken or multigrain waffles?

While I'm deciding, I'll post a quiz result which will surely amuse anyone who has ever met me.

You're North Korea!

Look out!  You're absolutely wacko.  Completely insane.  There's no telling what you're going to do, and it could make you a danger to yourself and others.  People are so scared of you that they usually just cover their eyes and pretend you're not there.  The main impact this has had is to make you even more scary, as you yearn for attention and contact with the outside world.  Everyone just wants you to calm down.

Wheee! Alien snowflake beings!! *bounces*

Yay! They didn't stick around long--I bet most people didn't notice there was any snow at all yesterday. There's a chance of snow tomorrow night, though, so maybe we'll have a good alien invasion after all.

Where is it you live again? I've forgotten.

[hummingwolf.livejournal.com]

I live near Washington, DC. So what feels cold to me is probably warm to you.

It's weird how quickly one gets unaccustomed to those silly things. Walking out the door yesterday morning, I found myself looking down and thinking, "why are there all those little Styrofoam pellets on the steps? Damn, it's cold. ....oh. Yeah."

Heh. I'm pleased to learn that it's not just me.

How about waffles with a side of chicken?

I'm ok. Really. And not nearly as crazy as you are. See? I got Ireland. Crazy, but not as nuts as North Korea. Also, more likely to sing sentimental Irish folk songs when drunk.

Had waffles for breakfast. Chicken will be lunch. And it's possible that Ireland's crazier than North Korea, but I'm the one with the bomb. Okay, you've got lots of bombs too, but they're not quite so destructive as mine.

ROFLMAO

Dude I took the test and it has to be one of the most fitting quiz results ever? Freaky...

I got China:

Big and powerful, you have a long history behind you with more good and bad than you care to remember, or are really capable of remembering. Lately, in older age, you've gotten sort of crochety and even mean-spirited. There is still a lot that's beautiful about you, but most of the focus people have when they think about you is how hard it is to work with you. There's hope that you might start opening up to people, but lots of people have bumper stickers about how much you should change.

You and I are both communists? How did that happen??

[eipooz.livejournal.com]

I think we're both going to hell.

Well, it was mostly a confirmed fact about me, but it's new for you. Sorry!

/me snuggles.

Bweehee.

OK, I kinda see the North Korea thing.

[hummingwolf.livejournal.com]

You do? Am I really that scary?

[unwilly.livejournal.com]

not scary, I was thinking a bit isolated, and you enjoy funky poetry(megahal) like Kim Ill Sung
