It's Snowing Again

So says our MSN Messenger once in a while. And only sis understands what we mean. Not that we hate snow - both sis and us are fond of cold weather actually.

When it snows for us, it's a rather local effect: just from the scalp to the shoulders. Sounds flakey? It is.

Thankfully the snowing is seasonal, usually brought on by a sudden surge of stress. This time it started snowing around Sunday if we're not wrong, and has been going on till now (although it looks as if clear skies are breaking through already).

And we can guess why - chasing a dateline that causes us to stay back at work, to missing the launch classes (oh our priorities are rather screwed up!) or worse, to leaving late and raging through the traffic hoping to reach the gym before class ends. Now that the dateline's almost due and the paperwork is done, plus we've finally got our 'Jam fix today (just the second half but that's the important bit) means we'll probably not snow much longer.

We also have the bad habit of being unable to leave the scalp alone when the season strikes - like itchy hands that reach out to shake a snow globe, our left hand will be stuck on the head subconsciously riffling through the hair. Semacam a t-shirt decal that's already been peeling after one wash to many, where itchy fingers cannot - simply cannot - stand but to start peeling at it till it all comes out.

After a while, we'll look over our left shoulder and start making it snow again.

Occasionally when we're aware and stop the left hand from rising past neck level, the right hand takes over :s

Probably to even things out.

Quick aside - for gamers who're 'recreational' pharmacologically inclined, have a look at Jolly Joker's articles on Drug Abuse in Erathia, found on Celestial Heavens. There's snow there too!

Quick aside aside - psike found us this site just after we'd finished rereading Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, a scientific study on the using of wands wangs in the wizarding community. Yikes.
