I am very tall. I have bright red hair. I have a black belt in tae kwon do. I knit. I try to spin my own yarn. I read voraciously and indiscriminately. I have a sewing machine, and I constantly plot the making of my own clothes. I like foods that go with red wine. The red wine is coincidental: I also like gin, the drink of washed up movie stars, and margaritas, the drink of pretending either that it is summer, or that what you do tonight won't matter in the morning. I am a motorcycle enthusiast, and I am plotting a carb breakdown to get my bike back on the road. I am a nerdy kind of girl but one with a goal to throw dinner parties wearing aprons and to keep jars of fresh flowers around my home.
I have nothing to complain about weather wise other than rain. We had a fairly mild wet winter and I have either ridden a scooter or motorcycle. I do however find the greyness of winter oppressing. It’s never ending grey from sky to ground. I am definitely looking forward to some sunshine.
I don’t mind riding in the cold (like, low 30s) – but if it’s going to be wet AND cold I am too nervous to ride. I have a long commute and I think it would be dangerous to get stuck in wet weather after dark in mid 30deg temps. Someday soon I’ll get heated gear/grips/etc and won’t let that stop me, though!
