Ziplines are a lot faster than they look. And you can't close your eyes or else you can't see the guide frantically signalling you to brake as you get to the landing platform.
Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But so much fun. You should try it upside down. That was super freaky.
Timelies all!
Back to dance practice tonight. First time in a month and a half.(combination of Pennsic, vacation and tiredness)
Today at work my colleague was reading Buffy fanfic, printed, 3-hole punched, and placed in a 3-ring binder, while staffing the phone line.
OMG, did you guys see today's Dear Prudence? Some parent is horrified that their 13-year-old daughter is reading smutty boy band fanfic, and Prudie says, "I can't imagine the authors thought their target audience was teenage girls." Um.....
Oh, Prudie. So out of touch.
My colleague is in her 50s! (Also, from what I could see, and I could see enough to see it was Buffy fanfic, not smutty.)
I haven't regularly read fic in years, and yet my first thought was "hmm, what fic? anyone we know?"
Sidle up to her and mutter, "If the apocolypse comes, beep me!"
I had a regular reader who mentioned that she printed out my fics so she could read them leisurely. I loved the idea of volumes of my stories actually on paper, on a shelf somewhere.
