Egads, the sun!...or why I should be named Casper

I do not like being out in the sun.

Its not like I need to. I was born with a natural tan of sorts. I find being out in the sun or doing anything during the daylight hours to be a drain. I guess I'm sorta like a vampire except I don't burst into flames or anything fatal.

Feels like it though. I was out today and the sun was beating down on my exposed skin and it burned. I feel charbroiled. I don't like being out in the sun.

When I see people who flock to the beaches and back yards to toast themselves I have to shake my head. It is like most things kink or vanilla: My kink is not your kink etc, etc.

I don't remember liking the sun that much as a kid either. I remember always hiding out on the shady part of the house.

Don't get me wrong. I don't mind the daylight. I like it fine. I just don't want to be out in it. It makes me so tired.

I like dawn...when the day is just starting, when the air is fresh and its quiet.....just some birds tweeting. Yes, the children of the morning......shut the fuk up!!!! I also like the twilight, when the day is done, the birds are quieter (cause the cats have made themselves useful and have stalked and killed them), the air is warm and nature is painting the sky with brilliant colours as the sun slowly sinks.

I love the night however. The night belongs to me and I welcome it like a lover. Shadows cover me like a blanket and the night air is like a caress upon my skin. It rejuvenates me. It is my morning and I greet it with a smile. It is my friend even when it is not so friendly.

Good lord, was I waxing poetically there?

I think it is finally time to pack the winter duds away. Its made up its mind to stay warm. Temperatures are now in the 80 and most of my neighbours are running their air conditioning.
What's the point? We bitched and whined all winter about it being cold and when it warms up we want to shiver. I'm gonna wait for the real egg cooking heat before I do the AC thing. I'm going to enjoy the warm so that I will remember it when the winter rolls around again. Besides, if I turn the air on, then the sun, when I have to go out in it, will just drain me more.

Right now, I am looking for a job where I can work evenings and not have to worry about going out in the sun that much. I can deal with mornings a bit. but not for long.

It does slightly piss me off that I am going to have to run the ac for when I have a scene with someone......

At least I'm not down south where its in the 90's. I think I'd melt.

Or burst into flames.....

How would I explain that to my friends?

Oh wait, I wouldn't have to. I'd be a crispy critter.

gads.......
