The one where I am bored...

[cabenson]

It's my weekend to work, and thanks to the extreme cold, and rather craptacular snowiness outside, it's kinda boring here today. Mrs. CB, fresh off her drunken posting from last night, was supposed to visit her family, but the weather up north is even worse, so I guess I have to call and cancel my bachelor night stripper-a-thon. Probably a good thing seeing how I can't, you know, BREATHE.

Speaking of my health, I was told NOT to attempt to lose any weight until we have a diagnosis, even though I REALLY need to start soon. While discussing weight issues with a co-worker, I bravely asked her to guess my weight. She said "160". She was floored when I told her she was about 80 pounds off. Seriously, I must have a 50 pound ass tumor or something, or the steroids have bulked up my wee muscles. Height has it's advantages, I guess...or she was too scared of me to guess appropriately ;)


For the Callie/Erica fans on my list, I have started the sequel to The Gaying of Callie and Hahn.Is anybody still interested? I thought I wuold just continue trhis, then maybe do a more professional Ship Manifesto on the pairing. Not sure when it's gonna get done, but it is started. Now if I could just commit to writing for Epic Proportions...I know, FAIL!!!!!

Okay, off to save lives, or whatever the hell it is I do these days. They really need to do a TV show about medical labs and the lab techs that rule them. Seriously!

Stay warm!

Height and the way in which you carry weight tends to color people's perceptions of how heavy you are. If I remember correctly from pictures I've seen, you're tall and broadly built, which might have helped her perception along.

I was wearing a pair of pants a few months back in my size (an 18) when a coworker walked up to me. "Those are so cute! Can I borrow them sometime?" she asked, and I stared at her. "What are you talking about? They'll never fit you," I told her, sort of flabbergasted.

She sent me a funny look. "I wear a twelve most the time," she said, "and what could you be? A fourteen, maybe?"

I just sort of laughed it off but then I remembered that I'm 5'9", solidly built, and pretty evenly distributed with my weight, so most people don't think I'm as heavy as I am. Which, I have to say, I don't mind as a perception, you know? ;)

I think weight is really hard to judge because it depends on so much. I like to think that I don't weigh anywhere near what I do, seeing as when I get on the scale at the doctor's office, I get a strange look when I tell the nurse, "No really, you need to knock it up another 50 lbs before you start with the little one pound thingy." And I'd like to think that if you don't look your weight, you're at least a little healthier, because the weight is well distributed and it involves much more muscle than you would think. Even if it is well insulated muscle.

But you know. Use this as an excuse to lounge on the couch. :)

I'd love a continuation of Callica. I loved your other ones so much. Please continue on with the sequel.

"The Gaying of..." is one of my favorite-ever bits of fan material (I learned to use LJ 'Memories' just so I could bookmark the thing) and a sequel would rock my world. The good Callie/Hahn stuff has dropped off dramatically lately, and uh, I think you need to do your part at this point. ;)

I thought all your weight was in your hair....:) (And honestly, I would not have placed you over 200, maybe 180 tops.)

Just remember...if you write it, they will read.

Off to go read Mrs. CB's drunken ranting....

Please, please, please do a sequel to the Gaying of Callie and Hahn!!

Thank-you, thank-you. :D :D

Yes, yes, medical labs and those that run them are primordial. I reply on you guys on the weekends! (well, the Canadian, Ontario version of them at least ;) )

Before I starting losing weight last year, I'd gotten up to 185 lbs! I could not believe it and felt as you did - as though I must have had a secret tumor deep within. After I lost 40 or so lbs, I realized that when I looked in the mirror at 185, I could not see the changes...but with before and after pictures, I am like wow!!!!

So consider yourself lucky if no one can see the number you stand at in this moment!

So does this mean you'll have to be an honorary member of the prestigious weight loss community until the mystery ailment is solved? Oh wait, I know...you can be designated task master until then. :)

And on the subject of weight, I've often heard that the world's elders are not only brilliant and creative, but big boned as well. ;)

Callie/Hahn? Hell yeah! Bring it on....

I for one would be very interested in your version of Callica. I absolutely loved The Gaying of Callie and Hahn! And your work would bring much needed laughter, especially in light of the latest developments on that crappy soap opera.
