snow statues

i woke up this morning to see all the trees covered in a layer of snow. it looks pretty but when you think forward a few hours to your morning commute, it's not so cool anymore (haha... cool...). it's wednesday and i should have a good attitude because it's HUMP DAY (haha, hump, haha) and because i daresay my face is looking better. but as i type this my fingers are so cold they're turning to stone... which is kind of like me in some way, as i often turn to stone myself. i'd be like this mythological character who is not so bad to look at, but once you touch her she turns to a statue from the inside out. which reminds me of the "just friends" question, which will be addressed in a later post. it's just that i have this (male) friend who has told me and implied many times that "the offer is on the table." the thing is i really like us being friends (we did try the dating thing a couple years ago and it just didn't work, we're on completely different levels in many different ways). but i feel the moment he tries to take it up a level, i will turn to stone and i don't want that to happen. which is why i think it's better to be friends - friends don't disappear from my life after two weeks.
