Day 2 - Envy. Seven Things you lack and covet.

This one's really not that easy to do. I have a pretty good life. There are parts of it that could use some improving, but they are by and large improving. Anyway, I'm sitting here typing this at the dining room table in a condo in a lovely little town outside of Tampa, Florida called Dunedin. I paid nothing to be here. Yesterday I was at Epcot in ( Read more... )

6. I can't see that being a real problem until it comes to Logistics Of Child Transportation, which seems to always come with problems/challenges.

7. I refuse to believe these people exist.

People who can sleep without trying... people for whom "going to sleep" is an actual thing that a person can do.

OMG, that would have been my number one. My girlfriend's head hits the pillow, and she's asleep. I just lay there and watch her in seething envy. Thank god for sleeping pills, that's all I'm saying.

Did the end of number seven get cut off? "A twenty" what?

Also, just out of curiousity, do you ever use a bicycle? Six miles on a bike is a lot easier on the knees... I'm kind of wondering if your nervousness about operating cars also applies to bikes, which you have more direct control over.

I'm really not sure what, if anything, that was supposed to say, so I removed it.

I've had a couple of opportunities to experiment with an adult tricycle. It seems like a better match for my needs/abilities than a bike.

1. Thank you for explaining this. I have polyamourous friends and I just never really understood their myriad relationship dichotomies, but your description of it is beautiful.

5. Funny you should say that...Not that I'd trade away my artistic skill, but I envy creative people who have their own ideas. It can be frustrating to know how to draw, but be dependent on others to tell you what.

6. I totally agree with you on this one. In my case it's slow sensory processing that makes me unable to drive. Top of my list would probably be 'people whose lifestyles aren't restricted by sensory issues.' Being unable to drive (and thus needing to live somewhere with a functional public transportation system) but not being able to tolerate big cities kinda limits the possibilities :P

7. Jack's right. These people are a myth.
