You can always layer extra clothes and blankets, but when I'm too hot, it's like I can't breathe. I freeze my husband out summer or winter.<br /><br /><strong>2) Were you born in the winter or the summer?</strong><br />I was born at the end of spring, beginning of summer, when everything is fresh and beautiful, but not to hot.<br /><br /><strong>3) What are your favourite foods to eat when you need to warm up and cool down?</strong><br />I love soup and hot drinks, all of the time; hot tea, cocoa, Americanos. Soft serve ice cream is another favorite, and one I will break my 'diet' for. I love ice cream and shakes, etc.<br /><br /><strong>4) Which one are you more likely to suffer from- hayfever or flu- and does it run in your family?</strong><br />My husband has bad hayfever, I have more indoor allergies (like mold). Respiratory illnesses tend to knock us both for a loop, but it's not a family thing for either of us.<br /><br /><strong>5) You are granted a day of perfect weather whenever you like. What day do you place it on and why?</strong><br />I don't know - hopefully day where I have the time and health to enjoy it.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lyssac&ditemid=28410" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-11:327044:26250Friday 5 for October 30: At the Movies2009-10-30T18:38:03Z2009-10-30T18:40:50Zpublic0<strong>1.

Didn't think so.</em> Oooh and we almost have a winner, thanks to <a href="http://www.filmsite.org/sportsfilms.html">this site</a> and its list of controversial inclusions. <br /><br />TIE: The Cutting Edge and Bring It On. The first probably has a slight advantage in favoritism, but the latter fights back with sheer smart-assedness. (Though it almost loses coolness points for the 50 million sequals.)<br /><div align="center"><img src="http://thorn-hedge.com/lyssac/friday/cinema-cuttingedge.jpg" height="100" width="100" /> <img src="http://thorn-hedge.com/lyssac/friday/cinema-dushku.jpg" height="100" width="100" /></div><br /><br /><em>(What do you mean that wasn't in the movie you saw?)</em><br /><br /><strong>2.
