Do you think you are cold-blooded? If so, you may be among the coldest in our society. No. Literally.
If you went to college where it's colder, you may have developed Raynaud's Phenomenon (where your nervous system works double time to supply blood to your body and leaves out your extremities in its hurry, resulting in color changes, such as white, red, and purple).
One thing that's certain is you can probably relate to at least one of these 10 things that only perpetually cold people understand.
1. "Too close" is a relative term when there's a fire.
When there's a some fire, bonfire, chimney fire, or gas logs, there's always someone who thinks you're standing or sitting just a little too close.
2. You love the feeling of wrapping your hands around a too warm mug, and hot chocolate, tea, apple cider, even a steaming cup of coffee are your drinks of choice.
Sometimes, the only reason you get one of those hot beverages is to warm up. Other times, you feel dismayed when you spend too long enjoying the warmth and not enough time drinking it.
3. Fuzzy blankets give you life.
Sometimes, you imagine you are superman, supergirl, even batman with your blanket draped over your shoulders like a cape.
4. "Feel my hands" is a phrase you say often … because they're icicles.
You want people to know the pain you are going through.
5. Your feet must always be covered … by blankets, socks, shoes, yourself, someone else, etc.
No foot will be left behind to stick out and feel cold and exposed.
6. Your sock and scarf collection has never been bigger.
Fuzzy socks, wool socks, knee-high socks, ankle socks, no-show socks, friends socks, any kind of socks.
7. Your car bun warmers are never off.
Sometimes, you have to check and see if they are still on.
8. You like hot, black pavement, as well as hot, grainy, beachy, sand.
Sometimes, you lay on it. Or walk barefoot. Either one. You fear nothing.
9. Your showers are scalding, and you like it.
Sometimes, your boyfriend has to have a few minutes of cold water because you keep it so hot… and hog the shower head.
10. You fight tooth and nail with your roommates, family, or boyfriend for control over the thermostat.
What? You just want to feel comfortable, instead of piling on jacket after jacket and blanket after blanket.
