Cold cold cold

I hate being a cold-based person.

[cold base, in Chinese medicine, are people who are very afraid of cold and feel cold easily, those who really don't sweat much unless it really is hot (and I never, ever sweat anywhere near my head!). Hot-based are the opposite. You see them sweating in the forehead all the damn time. It's hard to explain Chinese medicine and I don't know nearly enough to understand, but it must be something to do with the glands, lymphatic and blood circulation systems?]

I think I have really bad circulation - I don't know anyone else who would get a cold arm after holding onto the handrail things above your head in the Tube for one stop, or anyone who'd get a cold hand if his forearm arm doesn't fall 90 degrees or greater to rest on the desk to use the mouse. In fact, if it's just right-angled or if my forearm is raised slightly, in 20 minutes my hand will be cold as ice. It's scary.

At the moment I'm the only one who finds the office freezing, my hands and feet are cold and I'm going waaaaah, I hate being cold-based.

:) I am too. I have cold hands and feet almost 24hrs of the time during winter. People run away from me, when I have my ice hands. Hee.

Yay another one finally! =D

Yeah me too, they're always going "don't touch me". We can run around scaring people away just like that XD

I am more of a hot-based person (I personally think it's a temper thing, since my blood circulation couldn't be worse), but I have started freezing easily anyway since I spent a winter in China when I was continually cold for five months. :/

WORD. I have to bundle myself up LAYERS because I get so cold easily. @_@ I am so much more suited to summer; at least then I can just jack up the air con and not have to worry about freezing my toes off. ♥

You should see me when I go to sleep now - I've got a duvet and a really thick blanket, I have the heating on and I wear a fleece over my pyjamas!!! XD And compared to other countries I bet it's not even cold here in London, people must think I'm nuts XD

[identity profile] ex-tremble707.livejournal.com 2004-12-20 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
DUDE, YES. I HAVE LIKE A COMFORTER AND A DUVET THINGYMABOBBERS AND I CURL UP IN THEM LIKE A BURRITO. I'm not kidding; I wrap myself up in them like a burrito XD ♥

You are so NOT nuts. Oh man, it isn't that cold here. I mean, it just snowed and everything, but it wasn't even a lot of snow and my fingers were like NUMB. I had to convince myself to finish my cigarette, because I wanted to just RUN INSIDE AND GET WARM @_@ <3

It's not even snowing yet over here XD (and it hardly ever snows in this city anyway)

During the rest of work today I drank 2 cup-a-soup things to keep myself warm - tea, coffee and hot choc just wasn't doing anything for me anymore! ^^"""
