Qualities of life
Summer has myriad small pleasant things to do. Let's see what's up these days.

• My subconscious is once again teasing me because I can't have a snake. Seriously, I have dreams involving that theme way too much. It is compounded by being bored at work with internet access, allowing me no end of informatin and pictures. (Really now, how can anyone look at rosy boas and still think snakes aren't cute?! I don't understand people.) The last time this happened, I ended up breeding and raising an Arbok to work it out.
  
  ...
  
  ...Has anyone got a Seviper?
  
  
• I dragged my bicycle out of the basement and fixed it up a little, since not being touched for some four years tends to show. (I have learned the awesome secret to removing rust from chrome! It's foil, who knew!) There are all sorts of reasons this is a good idea. Being completely dependent on people who drive is inconvenient for everyone and expensive for them, the moreso since my brother's car got stolen a few months back. More importantly, I really hate walking, whereas riding a bike is totally fun -- especially after not having done it in a while.
  
  Did I ever name this bike? I don't think so, but that seems odd of me, considering that I name everything and that I treasured this loyal steed of mine highly for a couple years. Also, I need to learn the art of riding it in a skirt. That whole affair seems dubious to me, but allegedly it can be done, and I don't like shorts. I don't CARE how comfy and easy to wear they supposedly are.
  
  Anyway, it works well in combination with having a job. A little bit of money and a little bit of freedom together exceed the sum of their parts by a wide margin.
  
  
• F!S reminded me how much I like icons. Additionally, I'm a whore. You know, the last time this account was paid, you could only have ten icons at most ever. I can work a Pokemon reference into this one too, but I won't. Maybe I should put in the effort of dragging out the old Servbot mood theme sometime too. Well that was a whole lot easier than I'd anticipated.
  
  
• I'm starting to get... sort of reluctantly enthusiastic about Persona 4. What is this?! Like, I know who the characters are and stuff, and I'm praying that the guy with the hat isn't boring because he's so adorable, which means I'm developing investment in a character that doesn't even have a name yet (or a gender, according to some people). Speaking of the above, I'm strongly tempted to make an icon. I haven't paid this kind of attention to a game before its release in so many years. You people are a bad good bad influence on me.

  This test is kinda crummy. It's exactly the same content as every other instance of that silly Myers-Briggs stuff, except in this case all the questions are lumped together to create particularly sweeping generalizations. This profile does fit me, I guess... except for that "has a very successful academic career" part. Heh.
