I need to stop reading Rate My Professors. There are now two reviews up that say that I'm difficult to understand because of my lisp.
'Life of the Party'
Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I had a teacher in college who quite liked the SF story I showed him. College writing is weird, though, because I got a C in Freshman Comp and an A+ in Advanced Comp. I think the Freshman Comp teacher was more looking for people who could follow instructions on organizing information rather than fiction writers.
Two words: Roller Derby.
Unfortunately I have two words against that: bad knees. I wrecked the left one learning bad ways to roller skate back when I was a kid, when roller skates were the heavy, four-cornered things, and my knee didn't like the twisting.
I'm shocked at how well my knees are both doing. I had surgery on both in college. Mine are actually better! Mostly because the derby stance is basically a squat and my ass and quads are getting into shape, which helps my knees stabilize. It's pretty low-impact (with the exception of the falls). We do yoga as a team for off-skate practice which helps keep us limber.
Derby skates are a lot better than the high-boot figure skates for maneuvering.
Silver lining of working out in the cold - my face doesn't itch.
Yay?
Gotta love the TSA. I'm at the same airport I was at last week. Same security line, same security folks, same items in my bag. I removed the MacBook Air this time since I got chastised last time and left my iPad in the bag, exactly as had been done on the rescreening last week. This time I get chided for not removing the iPad. It's been a long while since that's been pulled for screening. They even asked, based on the xray, if it was an iPad inside before the removed and rescreened.
Ah, the theatre of security.
TSA would surprise me if they were consistent. Sorry you're getting a bit of hassle, ND.
They actually pulled me after the metal detector and swabbed my hands, that was a first.
Honestly I fly enough that I'm bound to have hassles with the TSA part of the time, it's just part of the process at this point. At least I've avoided the body scanners and aggressive pat down so far.
