icicles my fingers have become
The heater is broken in my apartment. I am wearing two long-sleeved sweaters, two pairs of pants, my giant old lady fake fur coat, Uggs, and a ski hat that has a pom pom on the top. And a scarf my grandmother knit for me.Why is this happening? Why is this happening??!?!?!?! Why. Why. Why. Why.

what other words do you have for 'ski hat'? Is 'ski hat' really you're unmarked one?
Oh yeah, I seem to remember having a conversation with you and possibly my mom about words for ski hats, and a term for them you heard in Michigan that she heard often in Canada...being a native Californian, I cannot tolerate cold and also have no need for various ski hat terms, so I just call most non-beanie hats 'ski hats.' This one has a pom AND the ties on the side so you can be rockin it and tie it under your head. What other ski hat terms are there?
I have no clue, but my heater was broken too, until I fixed it in a rage of anger by ripping off the thermostat cover and *ahem* "bypassing" the temp shutoff sensor. When I say bypass I mean using by finger to create a complete circuit to activate the heater. It will stay on until I shut it off. But I have to give it the finger every time I need heat.
I'm sure you look super cute!!!
omg ... you should wear your hoodie, all the time, just so that you can put your hood on and say "I am a gnome" in THE CUTEST VOICE EVER
alan: did that hurt?
margaret: are you saying jacqueline looks cute in the "winter attire" (i agree) or alan looks cute ripping off the thermostat cover? (which i'm sure you would agree to)
laurel: did you induce her to say that somehow? you sound as if you're speaking from experience. if so...
jacqueline: you'll have to bring your hoodie to san diego and tell me you are a gnome in THE CUTEST VOICE EVER.
The mighty thermostat is powered by a lowly AA battery so no, its painless...for now. And yes I look cute every time I do it. Cold medicine makes me (more) delusional.
a multi-destination comment.
klinton: i did my gnome impression for laurel to make her laugh. it involves me wearing a sweatshirt with a hood, putting on the hood but then tucking the edge behind my ears and then me saying "I am a gnome" in what she calls THE CUTEST VOICE EVER. I will try to recreate this for you in a few weeks.
alan: that really sounds like it could hurt...i understand your rage. appliances made me aaaangry. but i take a knife to them. ... margaret said that you were sick! i hope you feel much much better soon! *virtual chicken soup*
laurel: i will do the gnome impression whenever you like. or possibly the crazy african hat.
