of puffy puffs and flying flurries 4:30 PMThese days temperatures are rapidly dropping; it's amazing how even the slightest breath creates a whole lot of mist (yes, even through the nose!) Haha. And to that effect, I think it's really funny and cute watching layered, puffed-up figures exhale great amounts of mist at regular intervals, blurring in the white. And of course it's even more amusing watching those rushing to class with their heavier breathing! Cos like what Nic'd contended, the Michelin-type marshmallow down jacket seriously makes anyone look deceivingly-un-runnable, heh.
On another note, I really love flurries. Not so much of walking in than watching them, though. Just that on the morning after sending Nic off, I'd journeyed back in a delightfully-surprising flight of flurries - and since it was so quiet on-campus on an early Saturday morning, I'd decided to stroll and enjoy the rare lil' bit of Winnipeg sun peeking through the clouds..
I've always thought walkways covered in snow to be romantic, heh. And that's me being "drenched" in snow (what word do you use for snow?!) - you can see flurries in my hair and scarf!
The not-so-nice things about snow though (or maybe it only applies to snow-amateurs like me) - is that I'm always tempted to trudge in/step on seeming-ly thick and large heaps. But it's true you never know what lies beneath; I've stepped into sharp hollies and random plants and the edges of kerbs, its really embarrassing at times! Haha. It's also annoying whenever I don my specs and metal earrings out, cos they get extremely cold and hence the eyes/nose/earlobes suffer. And not to forget having to check the weather forecast before going out too, just to gauge windchill for the day! :(

About me
You are an enthusiastic innovator, always seeing new possibilities and new ways of doing things. You have a lot of imagination and initiative for starting projects, and a lot of impulsive energy for carrying them out. You are stimulated by difficulties and are most ingenious in solving them. You can get so interested in your newest project that you have time for little else. Your energy comes from a succession of new enthusiasms and your world is full of possible projects. Your enthusiasm gets other people interested too.
Your feeling preference shows in a concern for people. You are skillful in handling people and often have remarkable insight into the possibilities and development of others. You are extremely perceptive about the attitudes of others, aiming to understand rather than judge people. You are much drawn to counseling and can be inspired and inspiring teacher, particularly where you have freedom to innovate. With talent, you can succeed in almost any field that captures your interest.
A difficulty for you is that you hate uninspired routine and find it remarkably hard to apply yourself to sometimes necessary detail unconnected with any major interest. Worse yet, you may get bored with your own projects as soon as the major problems have been solved or the initial challenge has been met. You may need to learn to follow through and finish what you have begun, but are happiest and most effective in jobs that permit one project after another, with somebody else taking over as soon as the situation is well in hand.
Hearsay? Say here.
