CosmopoliTAN #37: Drinks and Worldly Conversation about Nothing (Page 58)

I actually kinda like gardening, but no room for a garden in the apartment.

Woodworking isn't my strong suit, no fine motor control

I could probably do most of my own bike repair if I wasn't worried about messing the bike up directly before a race.  Maybe I'll go take my mountain bike apart in the living room

My dad loves his model trains.  He has train layout that covers, I would estimate a 20'x30' footprint in his basement.  And the trains are really small, and he has a lot of them.  Not a lot like 10-20 model train engines, but more like 200-300 model train engines.  He paints them all and everything.  I was into it for a while, but it just isn't me. 

How selfish! 

I don't think that's really self-abuse.  More just a statement of facts based on data from past life experience.  Self-abuse would be "She would run off because I'm boring, fat, dumb, etc..." I don't really get in to that. 

That's just pure bs man. 

Yeah, I figured gardening would be a no go with your apartment though I was surprised about your dad doing model trains since I pulled that out of ya know.

What is you?  Do you like to build things, design, write, talk?  Because it's clear that you need a good non-tri outlet especially come winter time. 

Ummmm....No.  Guess I'm guilty of wrongful use of the sarcasm font.  Haul me off to the clink.

I like to help with meaningful projects.  When I lived at home I got to help my mom and her neighbors with all sorts of home repair projects, and I really like doing that sort of stuff.  I like to talk from time to time, but I'm more philosophical than most people my age, so I don't connect well.  I actually go to a religious discussion group because it's the closest thing I can find to philosophical discussion.  They just don't appreciate my point of view very often.  I always wanted to be able to draw, but the whole lack of fine motor control thing never helped with that.   

bcart1991 - 2008-07-31 8:50 PM Well that was frickin' amazing. Storms ALL OVER town. Not a drop on the courts where we were playing tennis until 10 minutes after our final team match finished. Thunder and lightning less than a half-mile in every direction, nothing on the courts. GREAT light show on the drive home. I <3 me some nice lightning shows. The Meeps was going nuts as usual. Heated up some leftover broiled salmon and pasta, on my second Bass Ale as we speak. Yum. Teacher set-up chick hasn't called back. I know there's the 2-day rule and all, but I'm running ou of time before she leaves the country... Tennis round robin tomorrow after work, should be fun. Hopefully tennis hottie will be there.

Have several more beers and then show up at her house.  Get out on the lawn and start screaming "Why won't you call me back?" That'd get the message across. 

Perhaps you should try to do some community service type stuff: habitat for humanity or some such thing.  I mentor and tutor during the school year, which is a great time. 

What's the race park there?  I'm thinking Road Atlanta? If I had full leathers I'd get the bike track ready and head that way and shred a set of tires. 

I attempted to volunteer at habitat once and they basically sent me to watch an empty parking lot as the contractors that companies had "volunteered" did all the work on the house.  I'm really hoping that isn't what Habitat is like here, I used to enjoy working with them back home.  But that's more of a summer time thing too, isn't it? 

I've never really done the habitat thing as that's not where I feel my strengths lie.  I did however coach for the Special Olympics (swimming) - that was awesome! I would definitely recommend it. 

I'm 6'4" with a weird build (all legs) custom sport bike leathers were pushing $1400 the last time I looked.  And that was with exchange rate a few months back.  If I could find pants to zip to my current jacket I'd be ok, but my jacket isn't 100% leather, so I don't know.  And it's hard to find a sport touring track day where I wouldn't have to be in an open class against R1's and other 1000's. Where I'm down 40hp and up 100lbs. 

Cheeeeesy ...

I "lof" cheese.  Hi TriAya! 

I'm eating blueberries and cream

How bad can life be?

Sorry, don't know a thing about bikes other than the kind with pedals that you push 'round in circles (and I don't know too much about those)

Candy Lady. What's up?

I loooooffff cheese too. Some of the really, really, moldy, veiny, stinky French cheeses are a bit much, as is the cheese with maggots in it from Sicily (Sardinia?), but most are good wif me.

recalling this morning... I had some really nice goat cheese in my omelet....er, ommellette.... no, omelette... dagnabbit Artemis... htf do I spell it? nevermind... I'm sticking with omelet.
