You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Zen, you may want to look into Alexander Technique. It may like carrots, that's how much I love it right now. It is super duper gentle and focuses on relearning proper posture and movement to relieve muscle strain. Here's my instructor doing a short demo on local tv - [link] The goal is that eventually you learn how to relax on your own by being aware of your habits of tension. I swear, after my first session I felt like I'd had a massage and a nap.

And here's a study on it linked from her page - [link]

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Seconding smonster - Alexander Technique is utterly amazing -- gentle, and easy, and you'll find yourself moving and carrying yourself differently and thinking about it differently after the first class.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Okay, that sounds like something I need to look into. Thanks!

Preteen niece and nephew are awesome and fun! But also exhausting. They are now safely back with their grandparents.

Someone at work just told me I had the "calmest demeanor of anyone there". Funny how other people see you differently than you see yourself, sometimes. I see myself as a roiling ball of anxiety, anger, and frustration.

Thrive to spite them

I had to take PEnny to get her rabies vaccine. She meowed the whole way to the vet (about 20 minute drive) handled the actual shot well. Then on the way back, I don't know if she was mad, scared, or just really had to go but she used the carrier for a litter box. And then meowed even louder. Longest trip back.

She weighs 10.5 lbs on the verge of being overweight. The vet suggested I switch to a canned cat food.

Tonight is volunteer night at the library bookstore. So, what do I want to eat when I leave? My options are Mexican, a sandwich from the Greek deli, or Chinese food. I need to decide before I leave because last time I drove around aimlessly being all indecisive.

Greek (I imagine a Greek deli sandwich menu is less endless than a Mexican or Chinese restaurant's, so if you want to limit your opportunities for indecisiveness that's probably the best option).
