I don't really do nature, much. The one time I was stung was by a sweat bee, at a funeral once. ...now I can't remember WHOSE funeral. I feel like it might've been my grandfather's, except I also feel like I was older (13?), so maybe it was a great aunt or uncle's...there were a number of those, at one point (both my grandmother and grandfather had like, six brothers and sisters, who were married, and they all started dying off around the same time...)
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Oh for fuck's sake, WaPo. Seriously, with all the shit going on and everything Obama's talking about and you're using your question to ask about A-Rod?
ETA: Also, sweat bees?

Civility and rational argument. What a concept. Er, I do wish you the best with that.

Oh my god, I'm seriously having an Obamagasm here. Calling people on their bullshit. Correcting the record when questions come packaged with faulty assumptions. I never knew it could be like this!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I can't believe making it to adulthood without being stung.
I know, right? But I did. Can't say much for the experience. Don't think my life was lacking it before.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ION, my coworker came into my office this afternoon and asked if I was crying, and I had to confess to being moved by the latest Improv Everywhere dealie. [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've been stung by bees twice. One on the finger when it crawled into my baseball mitt. Okay, actually now I recall that was a yellowjacket.
Once in my side when I was shirtless at a picnic. Quite painful!
The thing about bee stings is that they hurt just as bad after an hour as they did on the initial sting.

A sweat bee?...actually, I couldn't really tell you, that's just what my relatives called them. Apparently, they don't hurt too bad when they sting you. It's not like a honeybee?
