Join Me in the Pool

[dotinthesky]

I went swimming this morning for the first time in a month. It was surprisingly mild outside, and the gym was deserted. I used the "Getting Faster" lane because I didn't think I'd be able to keep the pace in the "Fast and Furious" lane; I did my 1,500 metres as if I hadn't been away at all.

KNevin and I are going to the gym tomorrow. tga, do you still want to go swimming on Sunday? I can't wait to see your cock new swimming trunks.

KNevin and I are getting FIT this Winter. You mark my words.

(in the absence of holidays in Brasil, or in Ireland, the best thing to do is exercise so to keep the Winter blues away. And buy new Gamecube toys.)

I didn't know they had different lanes in swimming pools. Are you allowed to overtake each other? How do you signal? What are the speed limits?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

That's a whole post in itself!

[sarcaustik.livejournal.com]

How do you signal?

It's all in the Speedos.

What's this K thing all about?

And are you going to bring the ambiguously named one with you on Monday?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Kevin shall now be know (until the end of the weekend) as Nevin.

I shall endeavour to bring him along Monday, but I shall not promise anything...

Shit - did we provisionally plan something! I really need to start writing this shit down! It slipped my mind.

How much is it again and what time would you want to be going?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

We didn't plan anything... just wondering if you'd be up for it! But if you are busy, no worries. :D

It's about 3 pounds, or less, and anytime Sunday is good for me.

I'd join you in the pool! This winter I also need to get "fit." Meaning: I need to gain weight and put on some muscle. I want to be stronger cos I like the way I look that way, but I also need to put on some pounds or I'm gonna freeze again all winter.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Plus, being too thin just makes you more prone to catching colds, etc. Nevin lost some weight some I'm hoping our excursions to the gym will help him get all muscly (and if I can get rid of my mid-riff roly poly, that will be good too!)

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

yeah, that too. Nevin was already thin! every time, and I mean every time (tell him this) I hear GnR I think of being at that club and him bored and me doing mega air guitar at him.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Haha! He hates GnR. Even his mom noticed he'd lost weight, so my new goal is to stuff up that pig! Problem is, I end up getting stuffed too... we had pesto pasta, garlic bread, green beans and chicken kievs yesterday... then beer.

*burbs*

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

whoa!

yeah, that's why I think of him.

[moonlightjoy.livejournal.com]

fun with <strike> :)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Uh yeah! :)

[gorecky22.livejournal.com]

I WANT TO GO SWIMMING ON SUNDAY!!!!! Yeeep! I want... but I don't go swimming since july!! snif snif... and I miss it!!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Why not? Go Go Go!!!

[gorecky22.livejournal.com]

I CAN'T!! Before going out of my parents house and moving to Barcelona, I dropped out from the gym... and now I can't go to a new gym because I've got class (yep... back to university again!) until february. It leaves me no time. Then, on february, I'll be back to the swimming-pool (well, not back, it will be a new one!! LOL hahahaaha)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Excuses excuses excuses... :D

[kenoster.livejournal.com]

start saving for Nintendo Revolution!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Do you know when it's coming out?

[kenoster.livejournal.com]

Most likely xmas '06. =(

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Dang!

[hunterjr.livejournal.com]

OMG! you said that word! XD I thought I'd never be able to read/hear you saying that XD hahahahaha, anyway... I really need to buy games for Gamecube - I need to relax. well, there's another couple of things that I need to do to relax too, but that's not my point ;)

[hunterjr.livejournal.com]

now that I'm reading my own comment, it sounds incredible silly. ignore me.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

don't worry about it!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I sooooo need some new Gamecube games. It seems like they are going out of stock over here...

[iifu.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the GameCube is on it's last legs, after Zelda comes out next year it's R.I.P. That does mean a lot of games will be discounted and you should still be able to find a lot of titles used or on the internet for cheap for years to come. The system has amassed a pretty good (and diverse) library over the years so if you need any advice or recommendations, just ask. :)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Well, so far, it seems like the stores have just stopped stocking them, so I can't even find Rez4 for example! I'm sure the titles will be circulating for years, like PS1, and I'm really happy with most of the games I've seen. I still play Mario Sunshine, Pikmin, etc. I think, in decades from now, they might be seen as classics of this period (Zelda for sure.)

[la-mascherina.livejournal.com]

Yes, a good swim is what's needed! It sounds perfect to blow/wash the cobwebs away. I don't know if Newyawkers swim, it may get in the way of eating. ;P But I will hunt for a pool tomorrow!
You are in the "Getting faster lane"?! Yikes! Will we have to address you with Sir, chief or some other title when you graduate to the "Fast and furious, the speedos are up the bum!" lane?
Can I be nosy and ask, is Kevin in the bad books? Is that why the K has been replaced by a discipling N?
Have a fun, splash filled weekend.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

No, Kevin is never in the bad books. That's just me teasing him (my favourite sport.)

I'm usually in the "Fast and Furious" lane! I downgraded myself because of my absence and because there were less people in the other lane. :D But I still don't own a pair of speedos. I'm waiting for my bum to become just *that* tight before I'm courageous enough. :P

I'm sure Newyawkers have pools... I have this feeling that a big part of Americans love sports and would make sure to have tons of good quality pools around them. Good luck finding one near you!
