bahaha.

I want a new remote for my dvd player, so I can turn off the subtitles that appear on every english film I watch, and turn on the subtitles for every foreign film.

A Subway footlong with extra bacon.

Whatever, Jo.

I was going to put something along the lines of "I wish there was no religion", which is probably what I would choose, if I could have anything at all. Not just cos it would stop the wars just about everywhere, but just because it's so annoying. It bores the pants off me. But I figured I'd start you know who talking about you know what and ironically that would be the exact opposite of what I was setting out to achieve.

So yeah, a sub. I really want one now.

Fixed.

....well that was really fucking predictable.

I want everyone to love me and buy me presents.

I've just been recording for the last hour and a half, did not hit save once somehow, Pro Tools spat the dummy as I was bouncing down the completed song so I could upload to myspace. FUCK! Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow.

*ahem*

I got stamina, cause I come from Canada

Use a mallet!!! Bwah ha ha ha!!!!

Do you think flying would take up as much energy as like, walking or running? Would you get sore muscles and blisters? Chaffing? Or would it be like, a mental thing, and afterwards you'd feel tired like you just took a test or something?

I have lots of dreams about flying, but it is quite hard to stay in the air. I am constantly swooping and diving as I try to maintain altitude. To stay up I have to really strain my pelvic floor muscles.

I am always flying over farm land, always in danger of hitting shelter belts and powerlines.

- no! wait...

How about an arm wrestle ? I don't hit girls and I think a one sided hitting match isn't in the queensbury's rule book :-). How's yah going mate ?

I am dying to ask you to elaborate - very intriguing. The last time I had carpet burns it wasn't anything to do with arm wrestling, and I'm pretty sure that I didn't get as much joy out of it as you did!

Got offered a month's free sport fighting classes, two months ago. Turns out that not only am I UTTERLY ADDICTED, but I'm also quite good. Came as quite a surprise.

DISCLAIMER: These days my advice is more than a little skewed.

The skills and the confidence are self-perpetuating. If you have enough of the right self-defence skills to make you confident you could stop an attacker long enough to get away, then you've automatically removed the 'paralysing fear' element, so the execution (including screaming) comes a lot more freely.

Something like a day-long self-defence workshop isn't enough. Three weeks' sportfighting training, three times a week gave me sufficient skills and attitude to scream, kick, punch, whatever it takes; and that's only in the unlikely event that some idiot would ignore all the unconscious trust-me-dude-it's-not-worth-your-balls signals.

...and if you're really REALLY not the fighting type (and I and about half the girls I've spoken to never thought we'd be the fighting type) then any kind of physical, social hobby - skiing, netball, rock-climbing, whatever, is gonna help to enhance & channel your latent aggression.

John's doing freebie single sessions at the moment, if you'd like to give it a shot, just for a laugh.

//Most of my friends are big woosies.

Speaking from experience, before you know what is going on she will have you in a headlock and wondering why you thought this might be a good idea!

What happened to your "mint chix" toy boys? ;) te he he

Marital arts? That was either deliberate, and very funny, or not deliberate and you need a new head more than even you realise, rdor. Still funny though, even with a new head.

too bad it's not gonna make one bit of difference if your attacked.

..incidentally, don't underestimate the social & emotional benefits. Girls may start training because they want to feel safer, but they continue because it's a fun, positive, healthy way to spend their time. There are a whole bunch of girls that had pretty crappy lives, who've been completely transformed, just from the change in their attitude towards themselves. Perhaps you should give it a go?

you'll find most martial arts is centred around defence. have you ever tried attacking somene with martial art skill rdor, or are you just talkingout of your ass again?

Martial arts just isn't going to work when yo've got some guy with wrists as fat as your ankles throwing puches at you. just physics.
