Disclosoholic What?

It's true, I do. I think I tend to look pretty good in the winter, though that was not the case in the deep, dark and neverending winter of Alaska. Just yesterday I checked the temperature there and saw that it's 17 degrees in Anchorage, compared to our balmy 55. But in general, winterness, I love it: snow, icicles, foggy breath, hot chocolate, fireplaces, the silence of snowfall, twinkly lights, the smell of cold. I was born in wniter. And of course, I love the holidays. I even bought a pretty, sparkly holiday dress to hang in my closet, as I have nowhere to wear it. But now I think it all makes sense that I love winter because I've just taken an online quiz and learned that I am a deep winter. My best colors are jewel tones like magenta and chinese blue. it's true! I do look good in colors like that! And I figured this out in such a weird way: in winter I wear a ring set with an amesthyst and a pale blue stone. I only wear it in winter because it's a size 6, and in summer my fingers swell up to a size 7. But it looks so fantastic on me that I started to wonder what I would look like in clothing in those tones. Lo and behold, it's not black, but it still looks good. Really though, this is all trite and unimportant. My wardrobe is still all black because replacing it--even one piece at a time--is very costly. And in the end who cares that I love winter and being out in the cold, cool colors of it when everyone around me hates it and deingrates it every chance they get.

Non sequitor: you know how I hate the way I am teased over my faithfullness to the Pittsburgh Steelers? Well, I was talking about it to Mere over the weekend and I came up with a good comeback. Let's see if I can remember it here... "Wow, thanks for trashing the team that represents the last place I knew that truly felt like home, and thanks for mocking me and all the other fans who, for 3 hours out of every week in a very short season, feel like we're home again." It was soemthing like that.
