bouncing here and there and EVERYWHERE
Words cannot tell how much my soul weeps when I walk outside in the morning, in seventeen layers* of clothing under my long winter coat AND my magnificent Doctor Who scarf and I discover that, no, the weather report wasn't lying when it said it felt like 5 degrees Fahrenheit outside.
For those new to the fabulous voyage of discovery into my life that is this LJ, COLD WEATHER DOES NOT A HAPPY EMILY MAKE. I am NOT GENETICALLY EQUIPPED to deal with it. Additionally, I am a CHAMPION whiner,** so all around me must suffer as well.
HARUMPH.
There was, however, one bright spot to my morning. I had Herbert the iPod set on shuffle this morning, and go to listen to not!Rockapella sing the Gummi Bears theme song, which just... HOMG CLASSIC. Please tell I'm not the only one who was PASSIONATELY devoted to this show in their youth. Am I wrong that the chief function of the gummi berry juice was that the bears could BOUNCE REALLY HIGH? AMAZING.
Alright. Time to dash off to class and try not to show up the undergrads.***
* This is potentially an exaggeration, but I ain't saying.
** I was actually designated the Official Whiner of my World Lit class in high school. Any time the teacher would announce a new, unsavory assignment, he would point to me and I would let out an EPIC whine on behalf of all the class.
*** SO SADLY NECESSARY. I don't want to become the Knowitall Grad student in the corner, but. DUDE. They're mostly senior theatre majors and they'd never heard the anecdote about how the Globe was built from the Theatre. Even Prof Big Cheese was alarmed they'd never heard it before. I know that if your specialty is design or performance, theatre history might not be your forte, but this is a FUN ANECDOTE! Learn it!
