Six of one, zero of the other

A wise person once approached me with a very simple, yet profound question. Would you rather come from sweltering heat into a building with cool air conditioning, or would you rather arrive from the bitter cold into a building with a nice stream of warm air circulating throughout?

The answer? Obviously the second. First of all, in the debate between whether someone would like to be hot or whether that person would like to be cold, the answer should always be "cold." There's no opinion about it; no personal feeling. It's a fact: cold is better. You can always put more clothes on when you're cold, but there's only a certain amount of clothes you can take off when you're warm. And while it's equally as fun to be bundled up for cold weather as it is to be stripped down for warm weather, the best times of the year happen when it's cold outside. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter (what's that, you don't live in South Bend when it's frickin freezing for Easter?), New Years Day, St. Nick's Day. All of these are reasons why it's cold weather is awesome. And for those, like myself, who love the night, the winter months provide darkness both in the evening and in the morning, as anyone who wakes up before 10AM (Tessa excluded, that is) will find that it's still dark out.

But this is not a debate between hot vs cold. Rather, about going from hot to cold, or vice versa. But, if it's a fact that it's better to start cold (see: above), then it stands to reason that there's only one option to choose. Think about it, when you're super hot, you don't want to touch anything. You're worn out, your lazy, sluggish, even when you come inside in the A/C, the suffocating feeling of being covered in grime and sweat really pervades any decision making you have. But, when it's cold out, you want to do thinks like bundle up under covers and cuddle, drink hot chocolate and light fires and watch Grey's Anatomy with slippers on (okay, I'm doing my best to sound like a huge chick right now. I'll stop).

So, to recap, there are people who like the cold, like going into warm places after they're cold, and there are people who suck.
