By Any Other Name...

Karljam Retro Hit: Feels Like Home, one of the earliest babies in GEMINI, has changed hosts too! Thanks for growing with my babies!

In thermodynamic terms, I would be labelled a heater.
More precisely, a high temperature reservoir.


In mechanical terms, my system of molecules has a high mean kinetic energy.

My friends say I look tired. But I'm not. I should not. For I slept 12 hours the previous day. Why then, did I still wake up a heater?

My friends say I look lifeless. But I'm not. I'm full of life. Ready to take on any challenges, eager to face the day. Why then, am I still this way?

I've been sick so long that I'm now sick of telling my pals that I'm sick. So naturally I came up with a few alternatives:
I'm unwell... but that relays a different meaning altogether.
I'm hot... but my pals think I'm kidding and laugh their heads off.
I'm an air-conditioner working on reverse... same result as above.

[Edit 7:07pm] Have finally recovered! Suddenly the world looks lighter and brighter. I say one thing -- that times of sickness remind us to appreciate the times when we're well and taking it for granted. Being well. Hmm, that's reason enough to be thankful!
