the ice cometh

With clammy-palmed fear I await the onslaught of Winter. The autumn winds, chilly and cold, announce the impending judgment. For the 24th time Winter will wrap its icy fingers around me and steal from me every last ray of warmth, dooming me to a perpetual chill. An icy stillness descends upon all things and hovers there like a gargoyle, throwing its chill on body, mind, and mood. I am consoled only by my faith that the Sun too will be chilled. Many a time the Sun has rained down his ultraviolet judgment upon my pigment-deficient skin. Now the skin-crisping rays are replaced by the finger-numbing cold, as always and always. The freeze will come and it will go. Over the elements and their passing I am powerless. So I will huddle in my corner, dreading warmth and the lack of it.

You could put on some weight. My favorite is "always and always."

I dread the arrival of winter but I rejoice when it finally departs!

Don't listen to them Jon, you don't need to.

Thank you for pleading my cause, Vincero.
Gwen, actually my physical activities this semester have caused me to lose weight. Weird.
Joe, I failed to find the connection between my weight and my lamentation concerning the earth's greater distance from the sun. Should I attempt to divine any logical relation or should I simply defend my slim build?

Here's the thing...if someone were to tell a person of 'larger' stature to lose weight that would be insulting. Yet, for those who are slim in stature telling them to gain is not an insult but a help? The number of times that I've been told to gain weight has been too many times to count. I've even been accused of having an eating disorder.Some folks just have faster metabolisms.

But Jon, you might need to up your calorie intake if you're doing more physical activities. But not bad calories found in junk foods but more carbs and or proteins... : )
