Oh, that is so naive to thing someone's using a teleporter. It's much more likely that in the future, MM, Sean, and DX are traveling back in time just to confuse you.
Oh. Good point.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hello. I am back from Italy and England. Italy has lots of food and hills. England has the Tate Modern, which has an exhibition with giant five-story slides. Also, I woke up at 4AM.

Because books.
And AmyLiz the day before that.

I was never there, I tell you.

Now tagless for your comfort.
"Addicts" showed signs of compulsive internet use, habitually checking e-mail, websites and chat rooms.
DH and I have had this discussion. I tend to think the 'net is more of a compulsion than an addiciton with me. But sometimes I think I'm a hardcore addict. He doesn't think so, though. He has a co-worker whose wife was really a 'net addict. She'd spend something like 16 hours a day online, ignore her two kids and let the entire house go. She left her husband and kids to marry someone she met in a chatroom.
So it could always be worse. But I was sweating this morning before Liv woke up when I do my usual b.org check and it was down.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What are the clinical definitions of addiction and compulsion, et al? Can I have an addiction that doesn't have a detrimental effect on my life? Can I have an addiction that has a beneficial effect?
I'm not sure where this came up in reading or discussing OCD, but I have been exposed to the point of view that as long as it doesn't get in the way of day to day functioning, why treat it?

Frankly, the slides were a little narrow, and I figured that it would not to be good to get halfway down and then figure out that my hips didn't fit through. I did take pictures and video of other people on the slides. It was mostly kids. I'll try to remember to post those at some point.

Oh, you didn't slide! I'm all disappointed virtually! But pictures would be good.
I hope the remainder of your trip was fun and safe and there was no driving the wrong way on any one-way streets.
