Summer has some good things: sports, swimming, barbecues, fireworks. It's not all bad. But, it also has sweat, heat, reliance on AC, not wanting to move because it's hot, etc.
Winter has it's bad things: cold, wet, slushy, icy, freezing, snow, ice. But man, what good cuddling weather. You can also dress up more in the winter, thus looking nicer. Winter is for staying inside under a blanket and being glad you're not out in the wet cold.
Which is why I'd be bummed whenever I wasn't dating someone in the winter. Especially if I had been dating someone in the summer. Miss all the good, catch all the bad? Terrible.
This all took place in a conversation that Michael and I just had. The power went out for a while, so we got some candles and Michael turned on some music, and said this was the best time for inviting the gf over. Man, what a bummer. I could've danced all night to music with candles. Not having a girlfriend during a power-outage is like not dating someone during the winter.
It made me think of the time a girl and I danced in the parking lot of her dorm, to my car stereo. That was in the winter too, come to think of it. Sometimes situations are just perfect for that kind of thing. Or they would be, anyway.
Turns out, it's all moot anyway. I just drank some poison (doctor prescribed poison, mind you) that makes me pretty incapable of having any kind of company over right now. The poison is for an x-ray tomorrow to prep for an upcoming surgery. The doc finally agreed to cut me open and take out the stone, so here's to hoping that gets put on the calendar soon.
Yeah, that was just my musings during a power-outage. Winter dancing to car stereos or power-outage candlelight dancing. Man, right about now I'd take almost any kind of dancing. Welcome in Egypt!
Tom,
ReplyDeleteThis made me really happy. Thank you. Then it got cold, and I became insanely jealous of anyone with a significant other. No thank you. There are many other things that make winter + significant other = wonderful. Ice skating, violently throwing snowballs at each other, and, of course, the smitten mitten. http://www.smitten.com/ No couple should go through life without one.
For reals, right? Oh the jealousy of those with significant others in the winter. Also, I can go throughout life without the smitten mitten, because my hoodie has the awesome kangaroo pocket on the front, and man, that's perfect for holding hands in the winter. Try it out, it'll change your whole world.
