It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Good news, ita.

I'm doing a 5k next month for the first time in yonks. Would probably be a good idea to start, I don't know, running.

Just reading about those haunted houses makes me kind of queasy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't believe I'm celebrating a $550 outlay, but it's a $1500 savings, so you know, I'll take it.

Lady with the name that sounds like mine is leaving today. I feel bad that I'm happy to have my homophone space back again. She was never anything other than nice.

OMFG, saw the most beautiful lady with the most beautiful baby in TJ's today. To the point where I wonder if she parthenothingified. There was no indication sperm had anything to do with that procreation. They were spitting images of each other's beauty. Lordie.

Our wings are not tired

Does anyone else in their late-30s or older remember the Walk for Mankind fundraiser marathon walks back in the 1970s?

I remember them, and I seem to remember walking in a few of them in San Diego with my church youth group.

I agree with this so hard. Sometimes I wonder if I didn't work in improv as long as I did just because it was the surest way to make sure I was never involved in audience participation.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I agree with this so hard.

Oh my god, I *loathe* that shit. I pay good money for my live entertainment, and for that money I intend to remain on MY SIDE OF THE FOURTH WALL.

I'm doing a 5k next month for the first time in yonks. Would probably be a good idea to start, I don't know, running.

I am considering Couch-to-5K, but before I begin I want to see how far/long I can run before I feel like I'm going to die.

I'm thinking about Couch-to-5K too, and I don't even own any sneakers. I hate running. I can walk for miles and miles happily - I walk 4 miles every Wednesday - but running makes me feel like my lungs are being scrubbed out with steel wool after about 5 minutes.

Maybe I should not do a Couch-to-5K.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

ita, I had to post that link on FB for all my Theater friends to cringe over.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Unless you're really achievement-driven, I don't see making yourself run if you hate it.
