A brief snippet.

Josh (local partner) and I were walking from my place to his friend's place, a 27-block walk.  (1.4 miles, according to Google Maps.)

X: I'm glad for this.  I've been wanting to go on a walk for ages.  Sucks that I'm more likely to do it with you around.
J: *sighs*  Yeah…
X: On the one hand, it makes things easier.  On the other, infinite kitty-rage about having to have you along just to go on a walk without being accosted.
J: I knew what you meant!
X: Oh yeah, I know, I just wanted to say "infinite kitty-rage".
J: *snort*

What's pleasant today is, I totally know he knew what I meant.  He's good like that.  I just really wanted to say "infinite kitty-rage" just then.

In random other news, it occurs to me all of a sudden that between original tags in LJ, all new tags in DW, and completely different tags in WP, crossposting will become a bit of a pain.  For people who don't like to organise.  Luckily, I do not know these people.

No reason.

Interactions.

It sometimes seems like all I do here is share links.  But you know, if that means others get to read good things, then that's fine, as well.

Today's is h/t Deeply Problematic – In This Body: So are you losing weight?

Friend: "So you're training for a triathlon! That sounds like a lot of work."
Me: "I love it! I'm working out twice a day right now — it's great!"
Pal: "Wow! So are you losing weight?"
Me: [Stares blankly until my friend is uncomfortable and stammers something.]

It is a Russian Roulette question! With my answer, I can be putting a bullet in my relationship with that person — because I don't know what assumptions are believed about me, about fat, about motivation, and about training, for the person to have asked it in the first place!

Figured I'd share.
