I've officially got the Winter Blues.

I can't stop thinking about

standing in the sun

feeling warm

blue skies

not getting goosebumps from the cold every time I wash my hands.

Oh summer.

I realised this when I was overcome by jealousy on looking at the Sartorialist's Rio De Jainairo pictures. The girl in the sun. Grr.

But I can't change the seasons. For now all I can do is listen to Corrine Bailey Rae (the quintessential summer cd) and remember summer crushes and swimming.

95 degree weather, like tears in your throat

yesterday i was driving down abrams and it was so grey and blustery that i thought it was winter for a moment... it reminded me of driving to class in 20 degree weather with the windows rolled down and the wind making my scarf flutter and giving me little-girl shivers. so i rolled down the window, expecting the wonderful shock of chill ... and the hot august air was so heavy it caught in my lungs and suprised me, in a bad way.

i miss fall. i miss winter. summer is so wonderful and lovely, but think of scarves and hot drinks and days when fingerless gloves don't do a thing... of taking walks when its so cold the air makes your eyes water and your stomach to do that funny shaky thing.

come here, little autumn, i miss you!
