Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
G'nite.
You're Love in the Time of Cholera!
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Like Odysseus in a work of Homer, you demonstrate undying loyalty by sleeping with as many people as you possibly can. But in your heart you never give consent! This creates a strange quandary of what love really means to you. On the one hand, you've loved the same person your whole life, but on the other, your actions barely speak to this fact. Whatever you do, stick to bottled water. The other stuff could get you killed.

I don't want to be a book, I'm too lazy :~)
I'll be Cliff's Notes :~)
You're Ulysses!
by James Joyce
Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.

Yay, I own a NordicTrack! Got it set up and all. The adjustments on this one are way more manual than the ones on the gym level one, but that's less to wear out. And it's otherwise nicely familiar. Mmm...pain.
She also threw in a buncha dumbells, so I pretty much got a home gym for twenty bucks.
Are you ... feeling pressured?
You betcha...
You're a Horse!
Versatile, powerful, and true, you have quite a reputation for hard work and a certain unbridled spirit. Many look up to you as an example of what people can really become, though somewhere deep down, you admit to feeling a little bit broken. You hate racing, but are still exceptionally good at it. Beware broken legs, dog food, and glue. If your name is Ed, you do a surprising amount of talking.

WooHoo! Now you know what you can do on those drippy nights when you'd avoid driving to the gym! You gots a TV, or can you set up your computer so you can see the screen so you can watch a DVD while you're exercising?
Right now it's kinda facing my computer desk, so I can do that. Or just blast music. ;-)
Just did about fifteen minutes on the thing to remember how to do it. I'm also remembering a lot of muscles I fergot about. ;-) Those things really hammer your thighs and...er...rear. Which is good.
Is it just me, or is that horse awfully pudgy? Or is it an odd breed?
Remember how easy it was to get this job? Take it from me, pressure at work is the LAST thing you need! Get your certs, get your résumé updated with said certs, and start looking!
But do not make a decision in haste. You may feel completely different after the wedding, which is stressing you too.
I'm glad you got your NordicTrak and dumbbells ... exercise helps your outlook ...
I'll be glad when the wedding is done...I almost don't wanna go since it's going to be one big ol' heap of stress and worry, but what can you do?
Amen on the exercise...when I was overseas, Mom could instantly tell when I talked to her on the phone whether or not I'd been keeping up with exercise just by my outlook on life. So I know that affects me.
It isn't a very flattering picture in the first place. Horses have good sides and good poses, just like people.
It can be very difficult to get a good picture, especially if nobody is helping with the horse. That's why I have about 200 pictures of Aki's nose, and three good ones of the rest of him. If you have anything in your hands, he has to sniff at it to see if it might be edible.
You're Texas!
You aren't really much of your own person, but everyone around you wishes you'd go away, so you might as well be independent. You're sort of loud-mouthed and abrasive, but you do have a fair amount of power. You like big trucks, big cattle, and big oil rigs. And sometimes you really smell. But it's not all bad, you're big enough to have some soft spots somewhere in all that redneck madness.
Take the Country Quiz at the Blue Pyramid
That's sort of a biased little blurb there. I wonder what that person thinks of France.
