Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat and wonder if the person who rented my car rental after me in North Dakota a few years ago appreciated the fact that I forgot to take my "Dresden Dolls" CD out of the CD player of the car.
I'll never know!

A Mark Twain quote that has always stuck with me is this one:

Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.

The quote is from the beginning of his "The Adventures Huckleberry Finn" book.

I remember first hearing it when I was a freshman in college.
Our teacher asked us what we thought Mark Twain meant by that.
For the rest of the hour long(maybe it was longer) class everyone talked and argued about this simple quote.

I thought that what Mark Twain meant was:
Maybe you shouldn't waste an hour of your life arguing and examining a simple quote that tells you to NOT do that.
Yet...
there we all were examining and arguing over this quote.

The whole time I kept thinking,
I bet if the ghost of Mark Twain could sit in on this and watch us doing this he would probably laugh his ass off.

It's because of this that I decided back then and still continue to think that Mark Twain is one of the funniest people who have ever lived.

I

don't know who the 1st person to advise someone to just
Picture everyone is naked!

when they feel nervous about talking in front of a group of people
but
that person was most likely a pervert.
That person was also most likely a genius
because
people have been stealing their bad advice for years.

If

the Mayans were incorrect and the world doesn't end in 2 years,
I predict that being a "comedic yoga teacher" will become a much sought after career choice for people.
Mark my words!

Yoga? What has become of me?

Over the last month I have started doing yoga.
This obviously means that hell has frozen over.
I have started out with the very easy level dvd kind
and
have found that that has prepared me for the kind I have switched over to a couple of days ago: ashtanga yoga.
Ashtanga yoga is a lot more difficult than the other kind(for me) and I am just doing the very basic beginner kind of it(also via a dvd). When my body gets used to this I plan to move on to actually taking a class.
The reason I am holding off on taking a class and taking all of this prep time is to avoid being the person in class who continually topples over and ends up accidentally punching other people in face.
No one wants to be that girl!

And yes, this is really me posting this.
