Hehehe, so do I... when CP calls me a lizard, he's actually just continuing a tradition begun by my grandmother, who noted that I had to be "part-lizard, to explain your cold-bloodedness" (in a physiological sense, not psychological) -- after she noticed me shivering in church, on a June Sunday, when everyone else was wearing short sleeves!
The temp gets below about 78F, and I'm putting on a sweatshirt. It gets to below 68F, and I've got on multiple layers, wool socks, and I'm getting cranky, and stiff from sitting curled in a ball to conserve heat. When it hits about 55F, I'm thoroughly miserable, half-asleep, and every muscle is cramping from trying to curl in on itself, unless I'm attempting to wrap myself around the nearest source of heat.
Not saying I like to bask in the sun -- but I do tend to turn off the A/C, open the windows, and get down to tank-top and shorts with the internal temp at about 85F, and think nothing of it. (Then again, I also grew up in the Deep South, and we rarely had the money to turn on the A/C during the summer, so it was always ceiling fans, open windows, and one or two room-fans to get air circulating.)
Which is a really long-winded way to say, yes, I am part-lizard. ;-)
