Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
A healthy body breeds a healthy mind...
I don't see anything wrong with athletics, though I am much more of an academically minded individual myself. I see the value of American Football, EverywhereElse Football, Basketball, etc. It is entertaining to watch, and participate in (very occasionally, as in my case.)

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
Ugh, sports. I took a cunning approach to sport when in school: Go And Hide Somewhere.
It worked on numerous occasions. Once, I was found in the welding/metalwork room at the back of the technology dept, soldering quietly. Happy days...
The philosophy behind this philosophy? If I have to expend more energy than necessary, it isn't worth it.

In high school, I was a pretty decent Baseball player. My batting average wasn't the best, but I could run fast and throw far.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
Hated sports. I always took the position where it was guaranteed that I would have to do the least.
Baseball? Right Field.
Hockey and other sports involving nets? Hang around behind said net and whack the macguffin as far as possible towards the other net at every opportunity.
Some it was harder. In American Football, for example, there is a precise amount of effort that has to be put in. Too little, it'll look like you aren't trying. Too much, you might put yourself in the position that you are best placed for a pass or something like that.
My best Sports, unsurprisingly, were the ones where the opposite team stays away from you. Tennis, for example, I was not bad at. Volleyball and Badminton I was actually pretty good. The only sport I still play, however, is one in which there is really no opposing team at all: Golf.I used to do LP's. Currently archived here:

You sounded lucky, InksGuy. I can run quite quickly, but I tend to blow up quite quickly (I can walk indefinitly without getting tired at a descent speed, though).

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
I'm told I walk fast.
Of course, I'm told this by my wife, who seems to think walking at anything faster than her snail's pace is too fast.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
I only walk fast in malls. There seems to be a universal predilection for people to walk slowly in malls, and this annoys those of us who know exactly where we want to go and what we want to buy.

I know the feeling, Cristo. (I can't stand moving slowly, but other people seem to hate rushing.)

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
I wish I could've skipped PE; lords below and sideways I tended to hate it. Especially when the 'bright sparks' known as PE 'teachers' decide we get to do cross country.
We walked naturally because it was the closest we could get to skiving.
We couln't skive at school; it was too small and they knew all the good places. Also my morals wouldn't have let me. Stupid morals.
I'd have been in the library anyway. They had a good selection of books there; especially after I started advising the librarian on new purchases. Would you believ they didn't have a single Pratchett book in that library until I got there and had enough leeway with the librarian to convince her to buy them.
Y9.
Guess it was because we were a Sport College. I kid you not. A Sport College. And the other two local secondaries were an Arts College and a Music and Math College.
On an entirely different tack. I just saw an advert for this film called 'Camp Rock' which really is just High School Musical. If you can tell that from a twenty second advert you know how transparent it is.
EDIT:
People also say I walk fast. I don't it's just that I've been walking mutts so long I used to wlaking quite quickly. And I like having a small breeze all the time.
Shopping centres are all evil. Can't stand the place; or the shops in them. Or the people in them.Last edited by CurlyKitGirl; 2008-10-21 at 12:48 PM.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
What was really entertaining was when she was telling me I walk too fast in the same breath as telling me that I didn't exercise enough...

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
I found that as well about slowing down (I thought I was unique in that sense). I hate shopping in general, which is another reason why I like to do it quickly.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
Walking out of an auditorium or just a ridiculously large classroom when 200 people are walking out at a snail's pace is the most annoying thing ever. And then, of course, some of the girls think the door frame is the best place to catch up on gossip or hug each other if they haven's seen each other in a while.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
I walk and cycle fast.
The walking is just because I'm used to hanging out with larger people with taller legs who just walks faster because of height difference and cycling is because of school.... I've been going to school at the same time for three years now with three diffrent schools all at quite different distances...
And Koorly, I was once, very, very bored and saw that movie on tv. I think they want to destroy the meaning of the word : Plot. The closest is the camp manager at the and saying : Oh yeah bwuh, uhm, I hoped you'd figure it out girl...

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
I don't mind shopping when it comes to stuff that I like (as in stopping by GameStop and playing Guitar Hero or Rock Band for a half hour...)
But clothes shopping? I dash to the closest man chair and watch my wife go about her business...

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
I walk slowly, and I like my pace. It's peaceful in a strange way.
EDIT: I don't know what's happening, but lately, I've actually somewhat enjoyed clothes shopping.Last edited by randman22222; 2008-10-21 at 12:51 PM.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
With me, clothes shopping is more of a Mom and Dad situation than a Wife situation.
Luckily, they like to shop at American Eagle, where IIRC, they have this huge leather sofa that's probably the most comfortable thing ever. So if they want to spend an hour there, all I have to do is sit.
I'm the only one in my family who can spend 2 hours in Barnes & Noble and not get tired. Everyone else just wants clothes.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
Psh, call me when you hit two years like we did a week ago...
I can never understand how it can take some people so long to buy clothes. I watch people wind up and down the same bloody racks again and again and think "if what you wanted wasn't there the first time, it sure as hell ain't going to be there the fourth..."

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
I hate clothes shopping.
From my point of view; they're all to frilly, short; skimpy, tight, impractical. I'm happiest if I can spend less than fifteen minutes in Peacocks and come out with a pair of jeans and a shirt.
I truly don't understand girls who spend longer trying to match their outfits with skin tones or something.
Though it is fun to mock them, the clothes on sale and the normal clothes too. Some of the best half hours ever.
EDIT:
@ruki - chan: I could outlast you easy. Once spent four hours in Smiths reading and browsing and lamenting my lack of funds and the too many books I wanted to buy.Last edited by CurlyKitGirl; 2008-10-21 at 01:00 PM.
