One of my friend used to call me "the undead" because my hands got incredibly cold. When I wore gloves, it would just seem to prevent me from realizing how cold my hands were. I would sometimes take the gloves off and they would be icy. I guess I had poor circulation; it seems to be better now, but I might have forgotten since last winter.

I want to say something, but I can't think of what, exactly, it is. ;-)
