Almost 4 years for me.

Oh wow, that's amazingly long.

'Tis a long time indeed. I strangely never thought I'd stay around.

These two can co-exist at the same time. You can be part of forums and still go out every night. You will always have some down time at one point or another and that's when you would come here.

being on a forum doesn't equal lack of social life.

would have much preferred hanging out the whole day with the big-boobed lawyer, i think i've found some sort of soul-mate (see my earlier post)

how big are we talking? but very nice, just saw the earlier post.

not humongous but pretty big for a malay chik

38D, I guess

I'm not leaving my room today. I've been banned from downloading music (shared laptop right now because mine's still fried and I'm too lazy to fix it) so I'm currently rejoicing that Spotify has added a bunch of live Phish. Seriously - I will not leave my room today.

Added all the Phish to a playlist, and it claims to be six days of Phish - and I leave for Terrapin in six days, so maybe I'll just stay in here until then. :laughing:

i have downloaded enough music to last me until Summer next year

Got blood test results back today, and I'm not diabetic. Could not be more relieved, I'm now going to spend the weekend celebrating my birthday like I should have been yesterday.

I'm going soon to a memorial service for the father of a childhood friend. On Monday I was at the cemetary and saw his casket, the kiss of his wife pressed upon it, the final touch of his daughter's hand brushing its surface one last time because the desire to be close to a loved-one is still there, even when closeness becomes an impossibility.

I am reminded of how I don't like funerals, weddings, or religious services in general, because I don't like life being scripted. I'd much rather mourn for someone in a private, personal setting, not sandwiched into a time slot, not overlaid with palliative (and to me often empty) words; I'd rather see people married without any script they follow as if life were a play.

Therefore today I'm thinking more about the stage of life when one is living while dying, and I am feeling fear about my own loved-one having to face that.

Later today, though, I get to volunteer at an elementary school where I'll help kids with reading. That should be fun. :)
