Sorry, I’m not commenting on the video. I just read your bio to the right and couldn’t help laughing at the last part.
‘I promise I rarely bite, and when I do, it’s usually down onto myself.’
I had this sudden crazy image of you chomping into your arm in a mad huff. Oh gosh! I am crazy myself.

One of my absolute favourite “blogs” in the world to read is Robin’s but it’s on LJ and it’s friends-only. I guess you could try to charm your way in.
She is so ridiculously honest and introspective and articulate (not to mention hilarious) in her writing about herself and her body that it’s just addictive. She recently got the “WLS” - weight loss surgery - which I think was Gastric Bypass and she’s been very candid about it and how now (at 300 pounds, which is 100 less than she used to weigh), she can shop at the mall for clothes if she needs to and how amazing that is.
Okay, I’m a little tipsy and I’m babbling. Oh, she’s also a member and proponent of NOLOSE.

Beaman - AHAHhahahahAHAh
You just made my night 
I also have one of those ‘easily-set-off’ crazy kind of imaginations. And I wouldn’t give it up for an enduring supply of premium dark chocolate!
I’m glad it amused(?) you
I can’t be sure - was the apology for commenting on something unrelated (which I could give a crap about! Inspiration hits when it hits!
) or more of a “nooo comment” kind of sense? I’m just curious - not for ‘petty judgment’ purposes, just clarification 
I have the utmost respect for personal privacy, as well as honesty!

ARRRGH, your comments keep getting caught in my Kissasmet spam thingie and I’m presently too stubborn and idiotic (and in need of a ‘quick fix’, damnit. i hate being ‘bothered’ by ridiculous technical things which … yeah… PERSONAL problem, hahah
).
Thank you for reminding me of Robin’s LJ - I love that woman (and I’ve only met her once and am crap at following LJ, so have NO idea what’s going on with her
). She (and orange74! 
) are such inspirations… :dreamysigh: 
And OOH OOH OOOH!!! THANK YOU FOR THAT NOLOSE link!!! I’ve never heard of that site :O !
I can’t wait to check it out tomorrow (because I’m SERIOUSLY going to bed now(!) I WILL CONQUER THE FIRST NA MEETING (AT LEAST! SHEESH!) (tomorrow night) (freaking ‘fear’! 
).
Love you, beautiful
(and I can’t wait to find out how to link to LJs etc… I think you just sent me an email re: that? sort of? I’ll have to check it tomorrow… :KICKING ASS INTO BED:)…

Awwww, poop! I forgot to only use ‘twisted’ and ‘evil’ smileys with you, P. I beg your forgiveness! (oh no, the Wayne’s World flashbacks… :RUNSANDDIVESINTOBED: :DAMNIT!: )
