Well, I decided that since it's been a year since I've been around, I'd post a few of me.
Here's what I did last winter...
Me playing cricket with Australian friends on ice
Me standing waist deep in water in a hole that's been cut in the ice
It was -10 degrees celsius that day. We all went ice swimming, as we call it. I went in three times, which is a new record among our little group. It was cold the first time. The second time was all right, since I didn't get dressed in between I couldn't feel my body anyways. The third time I came out rather disoriented which I have since learned is one of the first signs of hypothermia. I'm so proud of my idiocy.
My wet hair froze. Water tends to do that in below-freezing temperatures, or so I'm led to believe anyway.
This picture is somewhat more recent. Camp this summer. It was late and I was tired since I'd been translating. I don't like posing for pictures.
I was going to post one last recent pic. I was looking for one where I actually look normal. Unfortunately, it would appear that such a picture doesn't exist.
edit: Sorry that the pics are so small. I had to shrink them to a size that my pathetic internet could upload in less than half an hour.
