i <3 winter

so i've accounts with xanga, friendster, msn spaces, myspaces, and facebook. Dudes, I'm so "in it." hehehehe...

Since it's new to me, I shall tell you about the first time I came across that less-than-three symbology. it was used in the following context: i <3 him+him+him+him. Fickle, I thought. But what kept my attention was the audacity of young gals these days rating and comparing guys with less-than and greater-than signs.... Despite it all, i was waiting to encounter a greater-than-five. hee?

Close--but, no. The less-than-three is actually a smiley of a heart on its side. You kinda gotta play connect the dots, but it's there. So, it's "heart," as in "I heart winter."

And what do i heart about winter? In no particular order:

--egg nog =)
--Starbuck's peppermint mocha
--100% lambswool sweaters and scarves
--winter tires
--an excuse for driving slowly (and poorly)
--an excuse for being late (or not showing up... hee...)
--toques that massage my temples
--outsmarting the cold by dressing warmly
--taking off my coat(s), toque, mitts, and scarf, when I get indoors

So, what do you heart about winter?
