Well then.

Take a look at this while I'm away dealing with QoH at the doc's.

Maybe I need to add a new set of exercises to my regimen.  ;P

Although, that meme about 'Do ____ they said' springs to mind.  ;P   ;P   ;P

Was it just family? Do you have more stress from family or non family?

It's usually a mix. I'm more generally familiar with family (and vice versa) so usually that means less stress.

Maybe I need to add a new set of exercises to my regimen.

Why? You don't have sex and you don't party. ;P

So many things could go wrong with that, it seems.versa

Ahh, just got back from the acupuncture doc. I really like her. She was showing me some stuff using QoH as the guinea pig of course. Amusing and a bit awkward at the same time. ;P

Why? You don't have sex

While that may be true ATM, I don't intend it to be that way forever. ;P

Not to get too graphic, but I think all my equipment is pretty strong. :)

That article reminded me of that Henry Rollins stand-up bit where he talks about going to the sex show in...I don't remember...Mexico or Thailand maybe. ::shrugs::

But I *do* recall my favorite Dutchman saying something about doing some light exercising recently. What exactly were you doing?

Ha! LOL :)

Juggling.

I also have this long towel that I kinda juggle with. It not so rough on the tendons as juggling with the balls is. I just sort of swirl it round my forearms, from arm to arm. It's similar to that Wing Chun exercise but with a towel as an opponent. :)

I solved a programming problem today. Or rather, improved it. I had a solution but that took two hours to run. This new version only takes 3 seconds. It's not as good as the best solution (which I found on the internet) because that took only 0.2 seconds to finish the task. I'm still proud of my own solution though. :)

Juggling.

After learning a tip from Penn Gillette, I successfully managed to juggle 3 limes in the back yard. Had them going for a bit, too! ;P

Are you referring to the Sticky Hands exercise? Or the mook jong? ;)

All of that is a form of devilry that I do not understand. You might as well be speaking Mandarin to me. :O

Hey, I see that your menfolk are doing well collecting the speed skating medals. Your womenfolk need to pick up the slack, though. ;)

QoH has been pissing me off while watching the games. She keeps going on and on about how cute that one Russian girl is and then commenting on the freestyle snowboarders looks. Like I'm chopped liver or something. :/

Then she got pissed at me for not having sympathy for some chick who got run over by Kendall Coyne(who is my size)during the hockey game. Hey, dumb move to try to step in front of Kendall who is like the fastest player and when she has a head of steam and the puck. Damn near knocked the girl out. At least Kendall tried to side-step to avoid the collision. That's hockey. ::shrugs::

Good for you! Did you make limonade afterwards? ;P

Yes, that one.

I will take note and make sure not to raise the subject again. :)

You're not chopped liver. You're an attractive looking young woman. Okay, you may perhaps not be a Hollywood beauty but then do you really need to be that?

For the record, I do like chopped liver.

No! I don't want you not to share something that you enjoy just because I'm sitting here like...well, I'll leave the analogies out of it. I like when you tel me about things that you enjoy doing. :)

do you really need to be that?

I find it insulting and extremely cloying. I guess I lost my cuteness somewhere around 6 y/o. Not the perfect little doll to be showed off. I'm not what she wanted. And if I told her that it annoyed me she would just throw it back on me like I'm the one with all the issues. Like I just woke up like that one day and she had nothing to do with it.

Thanks. :)

I'm kinda like gourmet chopped liver. ;P

Good.

Ya know, I have lots of computer class trauma. The subject makes my eyes glaze over a bit. The second time I was forced to take a computer class, 10th grade IIRC, the teacher was a dude who, well, I didn't care for his personality. And he creeped me out. And I am not one who is easily creeped out. His eyes were completely black! *Black*! I shit you not, he looked like an alien or demon possessed or something. And from my first trauma with computers, I just kinda shut down in that class. My brain wouldn't work for it and I just goofed off in class with K, a girl who was a senior. When I started getting bad grades and it was starting to fuck with my overall GPA I kinda forced myself to pay attention in class and actually started doing well. I remember one time the creepy dude was at the board explaining something, and I actually *had* been paying attention, but K was goofing around and of course I had to get her back...so creepy calls me out to try to embarrass me(he always looked at me with such contempt)and wanted me to explain what he had just said and I actually could for once. ;D Then he gave me a look like 'Ah, touche'. What an ass that guy was.

I had never heard of that word.

Well, if I'm going to be doing this writing thing, I'm gonna hafta throw in the occasional dollar word. ;P

Yeah, she's terrible that way.

I *really* wanted to slap her today. She picks fights over the stupidest things and then had the nerve to tell me to 'shut up'. The ultimate disrespect.

I was actually talking about actual chopped liver but I like you too. ;)

I really do love chopped liver as well. :)

Anyhoo, after procrastinating for a couple weeks, I finally got around to dragging the mower out to take the carburetor apart. After much drama and cursing and sounding like I was having rough sex with the thing and me having to come back in for miscellaneous tools, I managed to get the thing disassembled. Of course, a bolt had to break off in the process thanks to the manufacturer installing it too tightly. Sigh. But holy cow! Was that carb ever crudded up! I've never seen such a carbon build-up in my life. It was totally black and thick and baked on.

Then Murphy's Law had to go into full effect and a massive thunderstorm blew in and I had to scramble to get everything back in the house. Ugh.

So this whole disassembling the mower thing turned out to be less intimidating than it seemed. Carburetors always had this mysteriousness and mystique about them. Not so much now. It's not much different than taking apart any other thing. I just hope that after I get the thing cleaned and reassembled that it will finally work. I really don't want to spend money on a new mower.

Soooooo, anything exciting going on with you?

Meh, you can do it.

Just that medical/psych test tomorrow morning.

Anything going on in your neck of the woods?

Yes! But it was freaky as hell! They were like Deana Troi's from Star Trek TNG.

I could create really cool pictures with the paint program and K and I played a lot of the Jeopardy game. ;P And there were floppy disks and stuff.

Meh, you can do it.

Unfortunately, no dice. And I don't know mt carburetor from my head cylinder apparently. The head cylinder was what was all crudded up. That's what I cleaned. Apparently, I never touched the carburetor. After I got it all put back together, it still wouldn't start. I even put a new spark plug just in case.

I'm not one to give up, though. I'll just take a look at the carburetor when next I take it apart. I went ahead and borrowed the neighbor's mower again. The yard was looking terrible. I still have the back half to do.(I'm on break ATM :) )

Just that medical/psych test tomorrow morning.

Good luck with that! I hope they don't fit ya for a straight jacket! ;P

Nah, just the usual boring routine.

Ah, yes, good old Vagina.. I mean.. Valentines Day. Am I really not on your list? I'd like to be on it. :)

Is chocolate really 75% off on February 15th? You could probably buy enough to melt it and take a bath in then. And then you could have someone lick it off you... ;P

Happy Valentines Day to you as well!

I would love for you to be on the list. ;D

Whatever of the Valentine's stuff that's left is.

Mmm, your thought are just as naughty as mine. I have been having a serious craving for chocolate mousse and was thinking about how good it would be to lick it off someone. ;D So, would you like to be on the list of volunteers for this activity as well?

Anyway, Happy Valentines to you, too!

BTW, it got cold overnight. I had to put on a long sleeved shirt when I got up. :O

I'm wearing Florida Cold Weather Attire ATM--flip-flops, shorts, and a sweat shirt over my tank top. ;P

I had to change out of the long sleeve shirt as it was a little snug and bunching up on my arms and riding up. :/

I've been having sleep attire issues lately. Seems I've gotten used to sleeping in the regular men's-stlye t-shirts and gym shorts. If I try to wear a fitted t-shirt or no shorts to bed it just feels all wrong and then I can't sleep well. I tried my Fox Racing t-shirt for bed as it is very soft but it has a deep V-neck so my chest got cold. :/ And then I was having strange dreams as well. O.o

Not really. I've talked to so many psychology professionals already. I don't really expect anything new.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Are you running out of sleep attire?

And then I was having strange dreams as well.

Any stranger than usual?

The t-shirts that I wear to sleep in are ones from work(party favor type things--'I had fun at so-in-so's part')and they are usually the heavyweight cotton ones(and I have a shit-ton of them). They are stiff and scratchy. I just kinda want something more soft and feminine I guess.

Any stranger than usual?

They're vivid and I can feel what I'm doing in them. The last one was like a Indiana Jones type thing. I was somewhere in central Asia in a desert. There was an ancient underground necropolis with many massively large pillars. Everything was made of sandstone. There was a small pillar about a half meter long. I remember picking it up and feeling the texture of the stone. Half of it had a decorative pattern that looked like bricks. There were so many pillars in this underground cave that it was difficult to navigate through it. I suggested to the peeps that I was with that it would be easier to climb to the top of the pillars(they didn't reach the ceiling) and then get through by walking on the tops. And that's all I remember of that one. :)

BTW, the chocolate mousse and home made whipped cream that I made was seriously delicious. I think I have a talent for desserts. ;D Too bad you weren't here to share some with me, Arekino. ;P

Can't you just buy one? A T-shirt isn't exactly a luxury, especially if it improves your sleep.

it would be easier to climb to the top of the pillars

So it's easier to get ahead in life if you move to a higher level?

I have another appointment with the guy about my moneyz. I got a letter from him a couple of days ago (that I forgot to tell you about, sorry) that said that because all the money I had was simply the result of saving it all up, it was okay to have it. So I'm not sure what our meeting tomorrow is supposed to be about.

I wanted something better than a t-shirt. Unfortunately, the only place I go that sells clothing is Walmart, and QoH is usually in tow.

So it's easier to get ahead in life if you move to a higher level?

I looked up the imagery in the dream bible and it was a fairly brutal summary of what my life is ATM. The good part was wanting to climb over the columns is symbolic of me not giving up and wanting to overcome my current situation.

because all the money I had was simply the result of saving it all up, it was okay to have it.

Well, that's good. In this stupid country the logic would be that since you saved it and didn't use it, then you don't really need it and you will have to pay it all back--with interest and penalties no doubt. ::rolls eyes::

Anyway, good luck with your meeting tomorrow. :)

Well, the meeting went okay, in a sense. There wasn't really anything to talk about, even the social services guy thought so.

Of course there are other shops, it's just that most of the shopping that's done is at Walmart. I looked up some things online last night and Buddha in a bounce house! The stuff I like is insanely expensive. I guess I inherited the expensive tastes gene. ;D

I reeeeeally miss this designer discount clothing place called Syms. It went out of business several years ago. A shame really. I used to get the good stuff there for cheap, even some couture stuff. Lot's of silk and cashmere and leather and fine Italian-made things. :)

Anyway, I feel like shit right now. I made the mistake of wearing my 'Being Good is Over-rated' t-shirt to bed last night. The cap sleeves ended up bothering me. I think I woke up around 7:50am-ish after only sleeping 5 hours(was having a weird dream also--about a good method of tying someone to my headboard)and then couldn't get back to sleep. Read for a couple hours before going downstairs around 10:30-ish. Even then, QoH had to make a comment about why I was up so early. :/

I told her I had to pee and that I was hungry(not really a lie as that was half true). Jeez, imagine if I told her that I was having a bondage dream. LOL

Got to wait for the right moment then?

Absolutely! ;P

There wasn't really anything to talk about, even the social services guy thought so.

So carry on as usual? You're good to go then? They are not going to make you do anything crazy like find a job? ;P
