Oh, I don't know... I think politics can bring out the best in people, too. There are people who will use it as a platform to attack, belittle, and defame; but there are also people who will use it as a platform to educate and encourage. For me, the crux of the matter is finding someone that I can disagree with, but still remain friends with. "I may not agree with what you're saying, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" kind of thing.

But then, I've always had a somewhat eclectic collection of friends - and gladly so!

I'm sorry I've not been active here on ES. It's been somewhat awkward for me, so I've slipped into other areas. I still... well, it's creepy to admit, but I still browse ES at the very least on a daily basis. I just don't post. More active on Reddit and Facebook these days, I suppose, though beyond the odd links I transplant from Reddit to Facebook... Actually, I suppose I'm just not very active anywhere, these days. I apologize for that.

Anyway, a peace offering of awesomeness. Read it in Morgan Freeman's voice:

Oooh... I like that. I like that a lot. And Morgan Freeman is the perfect narrator.


Left for the interview at 11, didn't get back into town until 4, and went shopping, having forgotten I was supposed to babysit at 5. So I ran across town to get there in time, and babysat for my wonderful third cousin once removed while she slept peacefully. Didn't get home again until after 12. I honestly don't know how it went. They weren't jumping up and down, so I'm resigning myself to a negative outcome. The commute would be more than two hours each way by bus if I didn't get a ride, which I think I can handle but the interviewer seemed to think would be an obstacle. So we'll see how it goes.

Have a friend over to finally assemble my closet and bookcase. Yay storage!!!

Today moved a washing machine. Grrr arrg.

You notice your arms get all swollen immediately after you've just been doing stuff? I mean heck, if you were going to get you blood taken - that'd be the time to do it. =p



Anyway, that's a washing machine and a dishwasher they've had to replace now.

Need to work on a bit more power really - getting to the point where you're not really knackered or in pain or anything. The old muscles are just refusing to do anymore. Like someone's thrown a switch and that's all you're getting out of them for a while. I like to work up to about 40 reps before adding more weight on. Reasonable trade off between endurance and strength. Don't want to get too heavy after all. ^^;

40 reps? That's...a lot. I usually do 6-10 if I'm working on bulk, 15-20 if I'm working on endurance/tone.

Today I am taking part in a sponsored charity walk.

In fact it's a marathon. A walking one but still, a marathon.

Despite having about three months to preapre for this I am not ready.

Oh well, wish me luck!

Good luck Britty!

That is a shiny image Usa. It's humbling in the best possible way.

This series, for some reason, really broke my heart.. There are some days where I miss my son more than I realize. I wish I could do more.

I think you do more for him than you realize, Usa. You're not that father.

Thanks everyone! We did it in 10 hours so my friends and I walked all night.
I've never done anything like that in my life and today I am tired. Legs, knees and feet are all in pain so I don't foresee myself doing anything for the next few days.

Ice and elevation, and pain-killers. Congrats, Britland, that's an accomplishment.

Today I acquired shelves and a printer and two trashcans, as well as retrieving my hot plate and meat silverware. I feel accomplished. I feel like making one of those video game announcement screens "ASA has acquired PRINTER! ASA has acquired DESK SHELVES! ASA has acquired TRASHCAN! ASA has gained 30 LP!" or something like that, but I couldn't find a widget online. There has to be one, though.

Also talked to a friend from last year, and we agreed we should meet up sometime soon, since nobody else understands us. And the guy who helped me build my closet on Thursday discovered on Saturday that he has a hernia. Today he assured me he'd be able to help me haul and install two sets of curtains. I don't know whether to believe him or not. Has anyone had a hernia before? Can you still do stuff, or is it better to take it easy?

Congrats Britland! ^__^

I was under the impression that it's better to take it easy. That might only apply after surgery, though.

Today my dad gave me my granddad's old camera. It was first produced in 1939, and it uses flash bulbs. I am excited.
