just asking because I do that...
Right now, we share a computer in the living room because my laptop is dying. When we lived in a different house, we did. Our desk was at the end of the bed, and I was usually in it and we would IM.
Now, I only really IM him when he is at work. When I get my awesome computer built and running, it will be in the bedroom and we will probably go back to that. Probably to ask him to bring me food since he is closer to the kitchen.
A dragonfly landed on my shorts and hung out for the whole canoe ride today.
I think he peed on me. (there was a wet spot under him after about 5 min. It could have been water, but there were no more spots other the one directly under him)

Just keep telling yourself "I am in shape. Round is a shape."
I can't think of an appropriate response to that, so I'm just going to sit here and giggle at it like the 'mature' adult I try to be. (and fail miserably)
It's cool. I wasn't trying to say anything about you specifically (and I apologize if you thought I was), I just think people in general obsess over that way too much. Scientifically speaking, it's perfectly normal to have a few extra pounds on, but looking at the media, they seem to think that we should all be 10 pounds (or more) underweight and that's not good. They do all these stories about what a horrible epidemic of eating disorders we have in this country, but they refuse to take credit/blame for their part in it and that annoys the hell out of me.
I'm not a glitch, I just have pixlexia.

I am reminded of the scene in Fight Club where the leads stand on a bus looking at an ad of an overly muscled guy and declare, "Is that what a REAL man looks like?"
I am 6'5", I would "only" be 10 lbs underweight if I weighed 145 lbs. (That is, I would have to lose 80 lbs.) I am fairly certain, however, that if you killed me, stipped off all the meat, and just piled up my bones, skin, and other vital organs, I would still weigh more than 145 lbs...
Oh well, I guess that I will never reach my ideal weight without drastic measures!
BMI is a kinda bullshit method of determining over/underweight anyway. It's only based on height and weight, and doesn't take into account a lot of important stuff.
Plus weight isn't actually a very reliable indicator of a person's overall health.

Gross...but yet I haven't lost my appetite for dinner.
On BMI, I'm close to "overweight". However, I think for my size and heritage, I'm pretty normally sized, at around 5'10" or 5'11" and 200 lbs. give or take five lbs.

Getting a six month old cat named Sarah sometime soon.
