The opposite of my previous technical scene question.

For a friend - no really. I mean it.

She marks too easily. One of her partners doesn't like seeing bruises on her while the other one wants to be able to hit her with more than a feather duster (hm...that'd sting, wouldn't it?)...

I know (I think I know) that b vitimins can speed healing...but how can someone become 'thicker skinned'?

She thanks you. I'm just asking the question. :)

Yom Kippur

I seem to have ended up fasting for Yom Kippur this year.

I'm not quite sure if this is the 1st time in /many/ years, but I think so.

I'm not entirely certain why I'm doing this. Kimberly asked me that last night and I couldn't really answer. She asked if it brings me closer to God and, as I pretty much don't believe in God, that's not really it.

The best I've been able to come up with is that it's serving as the aide to contemplation that it's meant to be...that in not eating, I've made more time to think about things - and in particular, about atonement and repentance.

I've made, and will continue to make, mistakes. I've wronged people and I've been an asshole. I will try to do better about it. I will quite likely fail in this and end up this time next year with more to think about. ( Random notes )

Really, though I should have posted this a few days ago, let me take this opportunity to ask forgiveness of all I've wronged this year and in all past years. If you'd like to tell me exactly what I've done that you're forgiving me for, that's fine, too.

21 minutes til Break-Fast. Yay.
