I'm Only Happy In The Sun

And I would like to thank this guy:

for understanding. Not that I'm not happy right now, don't get me wrong. It really has been a pretty mild winter, and there has actually been a relatively large amount of sunlight so far, all of which I'm extremely grateful for. I'm just afraid the combination of months more of winter and an ever increasing homework load just might cut down on the amount of actual sunlight I will get to see for a majority of this semester, and I hope that I will be able to handle that. I have a theory that I am partially cold-blooded and, like a lizard (on a windowpane?) I need to get my energy from the sun. Sometimes I allow myself to daydream for a second about heat and sunshine and minimal clothing and beach hair and smelling like salt and hot and sand, but that seems so far removed from where I'm at now. If I knew that this picture I had in my head of a sunshiny paradise was what I was getting at the end of all of this, it might just be enough to get through the dark days of winter. At least I can plan on the sunny and hot part (I hope). But for now, the remnants of my swimsuit tan that are somehow sticking around will have to be enough to keep alive the dream that summer is out there, and it will come.

Since this song was playing in my head and then came up on my iPod, it is practically destiny that I share it with you.
