I'll certainly bow before Theremin Camp, and I've been mocked for getting into an overly nerdy discussion about Whedonverse shows and the Joseph Campbell myth cycle AT a Bronze Posting Board Party!

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Actually Jesse's trombone retreat looked rather idyllic.
Wait until you see the pictures of us playing on the beach and in the water! It was all my favorite things in one place.

Not at all, but that's only because I come in peace and have no need to compete.
Jesse, are you an only child? I just ask, because I am, and I have a theory that this is a thing about only children: we're not that competitive, because we didn't have to be.

I assume post, I think this would have been the 2002 PBP (or rather, the after-party up in the hospitality suite).

I am! And I think that's right. I have basically 0 competitiveness. I would like to do well in competition for myself, but I am also generally happy when others do well!

I'm in the only child club too. I don't think I'm all that competitive, I just don't want to ever fail.

I'm a youngest child. I observed the competition above me and decided it wasn't worth the effort. I was a great disappointment in my in-laws Thanksgiving board game competitions, because I preferred to actually win the game rather than go out of my way to send a competitor back to start when they were close to winning. If my beloved's family had been the Borgias, I'd never have eaten at their table.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Man, I feel like I deserve a cookie for scheduling appointments with 2 different doctors for this week. (I've slid into a curmudgeonly attitude of "Well, it'll probably go away if I ignore it," which has turned out to not be true for these things, both of which are minor but bothersome and really do need to be addressed.) I guess what I deserve the cookie for is not ignoring my rickety old body's various ailments (at least, not ignoring them for longer than 2 weeks).
I also need a haircut. Having a body is HARD. It needs so much fine-tuning and regular attention!
