Dear house,
Ok, I'll accept that you were built some time around 1903. It makes you very awesome and cool-looking and all Victorian-era-y, but oh my goodness for the love of everything, why are you not more insulated. I think it's warmer outside than in my room right now, so I guess that sleeping outside on the porch might be slightly better, but that would involve a lot of things being moved outside, and for all I know, I'll get eaten by mountain lions or something, because this is the middle of nowhere part of Oregon and that totally happens on a regular basis.
And yes, I know I could turn the heater on, but the lack of insulation/gaping cracks in all the doors would probably mean most of the heat would go outside anyway. Plus, I am a college student looking for any way to save money, and no heat in the house during the winter in order to keep down the bills was kind of something I grew up with (thanks Mom!), so for the time being, fingerless gloves and way too many clothing layers will be the norm.
(it's also kind of sad that it's not even remotely winter here yet, and this house is this cold already)
I also need more gummy bears and graham crackers and sour patch kids and maybe pizza and someone to cuddle with and maybe orange-mango juice and possibly more seasons of How I Met Your Mother and Scrubs.
