I have of late, wherefore I know not, regained my girth
I need to shave some inches from my waist, what's the best course of action?

Alt: What was the first band you got into? Are you still into them or are you embarrassed about it?

Alt Alt: Is it possible to appear sober when you're in your cups?

eat less
Move around more.


If indeed that is your real waist.

Al's nailed it.
Walk more. Get an OS map of your locality and explore footpaths between towns and villages. And massively cut back on anything liquid but water and fruit juice. I lost heaps that way. Admittedly, I've put much of it back on again, but I'm shit.

Five Star and Paul Simon.
I loved their stuff and one of my parents' friends gave me a copy of the Five Star album on one side of a cassette and Graceland on the other. Best birthday present in memory.

I'm not sure what you mean by that last question.

Can you be drunk without appearing drunk?

(berk, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 22:51, Reply)

Do I appear drunk now?

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 22:54, Reply)

Over the internet isn't quite the same as in person
but no.
(berk, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 23:01, Reply)

I'm not sure if that's conclusive.
Would I rather be drunk or wrong on the internet?
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 23:02, Reply)

I suspect drunk is more fun.

get a job doing furniture removals over the summer
the weight will fall off you.

alt: Dead Kennedys. I don't listen to them anymore but I'm not in the least embarrassed about it. They have a few fun tracks but in hindsight there was a lot of stuff that didn't hit the mark.

altalt: not really. If I try to appear sober when I'm not I think I sway more.
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 22:50, Reply)

Start running, if you can
I found that the weight fell off. Keep an eye on what you eat and cut back on the booze and it should be relatively easy.

Green Day was the first band I got in to in a big way, I was a proper teenage fangirl. A bit shameful, but it could have been worse. I have been deeply unimpressed with everything post-2000 though.

Yes. Apparently I do this quite well.
(berk, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 22:51, Reply)

The first band I got into was 'The Smiths'
As for the best course of action regarding you waist, get a motor neurone disease, I lost about 4 stone.

And gained a pimped-out wheelchair.
I'm impressed that "pimped" is part of the Chrome spellcheck.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 23:02, Reply)

Sadly I don't need either a wheel chair or a speak 'n spell.
Which leaves me fucked for fancy-dress parties. Otherwise I'd be quids in.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 23:11, Reply)

Motor neurone?
I thought you had hyperthyroidism?
(berk, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 23:05, Reply)

Yeah, there is that. Although the last specialist I spoke to told me it was a motor neurone disease, and that sounds far more serious!
I'm cashing in on that!
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 23:11, Reply)

Erm, that's considerably more worrying!
you might want to go back and check what the hell he was on about. Motor neurone disease, or a form thereof, is what Stephen Hawking has...
(berk, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 23:14, Reply)

Yeah. Fuckin' brilliant innit.
You wait. Give it 6 months and I'll unlock the secrets of the universe!

(But yes, I have been told I have a motor neurone disease).

Second opinion?

If my secrets of the universe aren't enough for you, then try that mong Hawking.

Treatment remains the same.
Makes not a jot of difference what they call it.

really?

Arr!

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 23:25, Reply)

I believe one or both of you has the wrong end of the stick
treatment for motor neurone and hyperthyroidism would not be the same.
(berk, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 23:19, Reply)

I can only go one what I've been told.
And that my 'branch' of thyroidism is a motor neurone jobby.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 1 Jul 2011, 23:26, Reply)

I didn't think there was any relation between the two things, to be honest
motor neurone is nerves and hyperthyroidism is hormonal...the two things don't really interact.

nearly time to sleep in order to not miss my bus tomorrow.

Some water
a book, and some music to listen to.
