You know what I need?
Apr. 16th, 2013 11:25 amI need a good pacifist friendly martial arts studio I can walk or bike to. What I wouldn't give to go to bed the good kind of exhausted with bruises aqcuired under controlled conditions.
I don't want to hurt people, exactly, or at least no more than we have all signed on to be hurt in an atmospher of mutual cooperation and trust, but - I really enjoy physicality, all the things the body can do, how good bruises feel, and what a delight it is to play/work with people who aren't afraid of you. And I haven't had that for ages except in a metaphorical intellectual sense. But I like my body.
...but I have no patience with orientalism or macho posturing or militarism.
I am also not in a sufficiently good headspace to investigate a new social context. Like. At all.
Okay. Clearly it is time to buy some good sunscreen and insect repellant because lyme disease = bad, pack an extra pair of hiking socks, fill up multiple water bottles, bring the orienteering compass and the bird book, and test all the hiking trails I can get to on foot.
Or by bike.
...are there any? *googles* Okay, forget THAT clearly it's time to go exploring the county's backroads where the grade is gravel and the posted speed is low.
