You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Huh. Google's not showing anything new for me, billytea. Maybe it's based on your ip address?

I get bored very easily with exercise. I'm on the verge of quitting my running group, which I loved the first time I tried it. But it's not doing it for me this time around. Aikido was great until the head of the dojo got arrested for child molestation. I shouldn't let that put me off a whole martial art, but it did. Biking remains fun, so maybe I just need to focus on that for a while.

I am a little bit interested in fencing (waves at amych), but not enough to drive 45 minutes to try it.

“Not dead yet!”

Barb, when you come to Seattle, you can come ballroom dancing with ME!!

Ooooh YAY!, Yes!!

ION, Morning came entirely too soon. *glares at doggies and wills their body clocks to adjust NOW*

Not enough coffee to alleviate this gronk.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Substitute cats for dogs, and I am right there with you Barb.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I've finally pulled out Ray, the trusty light box. This is, I think, the latest in the year I've ever pulled him out (it's usually mid- to late-October). And I'm not actually *depressed,* per se; I'm just dragging. Even with the time change. So -- Ray.

I mean, there was a pleasant sensation once the OUCH and $%^&NEEDLE@#$% stuff went away, but not enough to make it worth it had I not wanted some permanent darkness on my skin.

Get bigger tattoos? I totally got an endorphin rush from my back piece and the bats on my forearm.

Man, nothing else has ever given me the endorphin rush that getting my tat did. I'd get another, but I can't think of a design. (Okay, I *do* want a semi-colon. Seriously. But not very big, and I don't know where I want it. So that's not a big deal and I can't forsee the same endorphin rush that I got from the lotus.)

The only thing I have ever gotten the legendary endorphin rush from is giving birth. Which is hardly a practical exercise program.

ION, 4am wakeup? So not on, self.

Not really up on martial arts except I did know a guy in a chair who did a lot. So it can be done.

Because books.

I'm sure the Duggar mom disagrees.

I may have to seize the cat.

You guys talk a lot. It's nice.

Re: exercise - I'm in favor of dance, myself. I have to work around a limitation there, because one of my vertebrae is fused to my pelvis. Makes hip rotation a challenge and isolation nearly impossible (which is why I haven't tried bellydance).

Also gothy types have you seen this etsy shop? Dreadful Things by Raven

So excellent. (Though no totems to my personal taste. I prefer ankhs to crosses and moths or scarabs to spiders.)
