I need to learn how to swim.
Feb. 6th, 2005 04:27 am
Seriously, though, I need to learn how to swim. And this is why. As is this.
I don't know what it is, but I need to do this. Well. Want to very much is a better phrase. It's insane. I ride a boat twice a day, but this is what I want to spend a term and a summer doing (no way I would spend a normal term doing Semester at Sea, I don't have the money).
And I need to learn how to swim.
*sighs*

"Filthy language," said Conder of the profanity. "I'm not going to repeat the language. Our job is to protect kids from things that aren't good for kids."
Repeat after me: Nobody was ever harmed for hearing or reading profanity. Nobody. And by the 9th grade, there's very little in the way of profanity that your kid hasn't heard yet.
This is very nicely summed up here:
When did we have to start saying these things? "Book burnings aren't right." "Torture is bad." "The accused deserve trials." "You can't spend more than you earn." "Borrowing is not earning." "Wars suck." "It's called Social Security because it's supposed to be *more* secure than the stock market."
*sighs* Well, I can always move to Antarctica, live with the penguins, study their folkways. Bet they don't burn books.

Ana's shoes.

Ana's got this pair of sneakers. They don't have zippers, they have a velcro strap, and they're sparkly red. I am *so* jealous of these sneakers. Alas, her feet are just a little bit smaller than mine are, and I cannot steal her sneakers from her, even if they are really cool.
She also has a pair of space boots. Did I mention that I'm jealous of my niece's footwear yet? It's pathetic.
Talking about footwear, I went barefoot the other day. On the ice. That's exactly why I was barefoot, in fact, because I kept slipping, and I figured my bare feet would have more traction than my shoes. I was right, too, but by the time I got home my feet were screaming from a combination of cold and salt. The cold wasn't so bad, but the salt can kill a nice day out.
