Anyway yesterday at the gym I was down to my undies. I mean I was running late for gym class and there was a whole long queue to the toilets. So I went to a quiet corner, said screw it, and changed into my gym attire.

So, what does it say about you when you get an email from Paizo saying, "Your next battlecase subscription is about to be shipped" and your immediate reaction is, "D*** it, Shiro! What did you DO!??! Where am I going to put all that stuff?"
Shiro. Filling people's houses with unwanted nonsense for decades.

You see, I'm Asian so being naked in the locker room makes me feel awkward. It's not about body shape(though that certainly helps), but it's about Asian culture that you should not be changing in front of people.
I was nekkid in the hotsprings in Japan, but that was because everyone was starkers too. Besides I didn't have my glasses on(they'd just fog up anyway) so there wasn't too much I could see either.
My stomach is too fat(and maybe got a little fatter from too many mooncakes), and you know it isn't muscular/toned or anything. But I'd say I'm reasonably fit due to my numerous attempts to lose weight.
Some of it is actually helpful when you need to move stuff, or get from one place to another in something faster then a walk, though I know it's undignified as heck to be running in office shoes and a dress. Again if things need to be done, dignity be damned.

I'm still a bit flabbergasted at a nudity taboo in a gym locker room.
They're lucky I'm Lawful enough not to just change in the foyer.

You see, males put on muscle more easily due to higher testorone levels, blah blah, so if you really want to get toned and have your muscles showing as a female, you have to put in a LOT of effort. Like serious weight lifting, I'm not sure if you'd need to take any protein shakes or something.
Me? I just wanted to lose some weight so I could fit into my fancy dresses. So I'm definitely not going to go that route, though I think diet plays a bigger role in losing weight as opposed to exercising, since you can only squeeze so many hours for exercise during the day.

I have a couple of white hairs peeking out and I don't like it!
But...
But...Grey streaks add character…right?
*Looks at his graying (turtle) hair and beard*
But I'm not a piebald cat, I'm a Black cat!
*Scratches (turtle) beard*
So...
You're not a snow leopard?!
You're a panther?!
(Which is funnily enough, if I remember correctly, a leopard if found in Africa & Asia or a Jaguar if found in Central or Southern America)

Problem is I don't get a white streak like rogue from X-men. I'm still wondering if I did get one, would I leave it? Maybe. Looks kinda cool.
I don't think we have panthers here. Jaguars yes. Or least no panthers in Singapore and Malaysia. Supposedly in Taman Negara there was a chance to see a clouded leopard.
But CY, I'm a lazy desk bound pen pusher =)

please tell shiro I said hello.
Also tell him I have a distinct lack of Master Grade Mobile Suit Gundam model kits and star wars snowspeeder model kits from the same company.
Strangely, I am not into ecchi model kits.

There is a glitch where it's sending these out to people that haven't been subscribed for years.

Your birthday isn't for three more months. There are two major holidays and four family birthdays (Mei Mei, mother-in-law, grandmother, mother) between now and then.

So yeah, never been swimming/gymming/whatever with him, so it's never come up.
And since he always wears the same outfit, I'm not certain he ever takes his clothes off.

You're thinking of my dad. As far as I can tell, Hi has at least 2 pairs of pants and 3 shirts that he wears. And that one vest.

So what's it like to have a senior in high school these days?
For his senior pictures, they wanted $110 just to take the pictures.
So, we shelled out and I'll freely admit, they're good, professional-quality photos. Which I'd expect at $110/hour.
Today we went to the web site to order some photos. I kid you not. To get just the CD of the photos is $400. If you want four 5"x7" prints, that's $84.
Impus Major's response? "Screw those guys! We'll just download the watermarked versions and not give them one red cent!"
I love my son.
EDIT: Unfortunately, working in tech, I know darned well I'd be logging session info 24/7 and monitoring for EXACTLY such downloads. And since you have to log in to see the pictures, you're hosed. So now it's pay the bastards to save some memories, or stiff 'em 'cause they don't deserve a red cent for the prices they're charging.

…
Streaked Mort would probably look really cool!
As for your belly and fitting into those fancy dresses…
I don't wanna stick my turtle foot in my mouth, and yes there are far too many expectations about how women should look, and as such its hard for me, a beer-bellied, unhealth and lazy turtle not to sound...well...somewhat flippant.
I guess I just want you to kind of see you from my perspective.
You exercise.
You think about what you eat.
You're doing much more for yourself then this lazy turtle could even dream off doing for himself.
*Waddles over and gives Mort a fluff and a nuzzle*
Really in my eyes you're going above and beyond.
*Yawns*
Now I think its time for this turtle to turn in for the night.
Nighty night everyone!
*Waddles over besides Mort's basket, spins around himself a couple of times, before retreating into his cover-shell*

She's right men keep making new muscle tisuse up into their 30's while women pretty much stop making new muscle tissue towards the end of their teens. So instead you have to strengthen what you go.

The photo session itself was $110.
Had I had any idea that they were going to charge FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A FRICKING CD, I wouldn't have even bothered with the shoot.

Running downhill/flat surfaces is so good for ego boosting. Trying to jog up Mt Faber I couldn't do the whole way and the parts I did I was slowed to a crawl, but running downhill - I pretty much did except for the stairs since I don't run down stairs for safety. Going up took 30 min, down, 13 min...
