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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sometimes we are the same person.
This is not one of those times.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Couch-to-5K is what screwed up my feet to the point where I may no longer wear high heels. That said, I think the problem (Morton's Neuroma) had started before, but running put it critical.
Every now and then I still feel like I have a rock inside my shoe, except that the rock is inside my foot.
I've walked 5Ks before, and very much enjoyed it.

Sign up for this one with me! We can run/walk it together. You get a jacket and tons of chocolate!

I just need more exercise, and running is faster than walking and doesn't involve transportation to a swimming pool, and my kids' school does a 5K fundraiser in March, which would be good motivation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love improv above all forms of comedy...but I will not participate. I will not suggest, I will not get up on stage and be your arms, I will not tell you about my day. FUCK OFF. Don't make eye contact with me, don't put the mike in my face. Just, fucking, no.
Most of my free time in Montreal that wasn't in a bar or a dojo was in a theatre or comedy club, and I think I was pretty clear across the city that I was not talking to you until the curtain came down.
The Onion article was perfect.
