And the final score is...

25 hours of vacation payout. Yep, that about covers the watch and a few new clothes for the new job. And we now return to some version of our usual budget. :)

I just thought of an interesting topic of conversation: what's so good it scares you? Is there anything you've barely tasted, or are afraid to taste, because it might take you over?

I am afraid to live in Manhattan, for example. All that power in one place is like a freakin' drug, and as it is I can only name 4 places on earth I can be sure I could live happily. If I ever once live in Manhattan I fear I could never live anywhere else.

I might also list the S&M scene, which it's far better I not think about since I value, really value, quite a few things that are not compatible with that. And my friend who very wisely doesn't drink because his whole family is alcoholic and he knows it's in his genes. And... but enough from me, tell me what's in your head. :)

Mmmmhmmm. Thanks for answering. :)

I only made it out of SanFran alive because its public transportation isn't so hot. It remains on my list of places I could live, though. I demand a certain amount of that addictive quality in a place I live, now, thanks to Boston.

And, speaking of drugs: oh yeah. But for me it'd be heroin and crystal meth.

heroin is pretty hardcore, isn't it? Wouldn't you want to start at something easier first?

Er, no, my point is that I don't want to try it at all, because I'm scared of it. :)

I have done some of the easier / less scary stuff, but not as an intentional lead-in to the more scary.
