Did you know? I can type 70 words a minute. And that's on Jeremy's strange, Japanese character-customized keyboard.
Went swimming again. I seem to have my own personal swim trainer.

Jeremy now has pink marbled speedos. Ooh! His consisntently pink swimwear allows me to identify him immediately from a distance, even without my glasses on.

Did a bunch of fifty yard drills because that's really all I have the stamina for, while Jeremy did anaerobic drills.

Also went to watch Love Actually at LHII. It was cute, if contrived. Also, Keira Knightley is in it.

Observation: Do not play a Vampire the Masquerade session to the Shire theme from Fellowship of the Ring.

Result: Kay's character now only drinks the blood of midgets.

Wherein Angie Gets Off Her Ass Every Once in a While

Went combination swimming and weight lifting with Jeremy and Jose.

Jeremy has speedos with little pink stars on them. He says, "They used to be red... -_-" I think they're endearing. Jose tactfully says that maybe he ought to get black speedos sometime. Jeremy's a damn powerful swimmer, though when I'm in the pool with him because I don't have glasses on I can't see him or what he's doing, only a line of splashing the progresses rapidly down the length of the lane. He looks very good from the spectator's balcony though, which I frequented with my glasses on.

Pools are also a good place to make out because of bouyancy. And little pink-starred speedos. But I hate locker rooms because of those wet, slick, floors with their thin film of God knows what. I'm paranoid.

Bench presses-

My max: 55 lb. -_- (Tthat's like just.. the bar.. without any weights on it)
Jeremy's max: 140 lb. *
Jose's max: 150 lb.

Ab crunches-

My max: 30 lb.
Jeremy's max: 60 lb.
Jose's max: 20 lb.

Leg pushy thingies-

My max: 180 lb.
Jeremy's max: 400 lb. + (The weights don't go any higher)
Jose's max: 400 lb. +

I'm a big wuss.

*This is why when I arm wrestle with Jeremy, he still beats me even when I use both arms. Even while he's being tickled.

Played Vampire the Masquerade (Sabbat, Andrew) last night.

Vampire is really a terrible game. All you do is walk around and suck blood. You've got no family or friends or hobbies or goals and the sun turns you to ashes. You haven't got any of the motivations of a normal person.

We did encounter an NPC who was Jeremy.

"Bob the Nosferatu gives you the address of a computer security expert."
"I go to that address."
"You see a sign in front of the house reading, 'The Pie Residence.' "
"I knock on the door."
"Jeremy answers, holding a cup of coffee."
*laughter*
"Actual Jeremy?"
"Yes."
"I use Presence on him."
"Okay.. what's his Willpower?"
"Two.. he's only human."
"Jeremy says: 'Wow, I just spent all night playing Vampire the Masquerade and now I see real vampires!' Angie appears in the hallway. 'Who's at the door, pie?' "
"Jeremy: Nobody, go back to sleep."

We're trying to think up ways for him to become a permanent recurring NPC. I suggested having my character Embrace him and turn him into a vampire- a pale, Vampire the Masquerade-playing, coffee-drinking vampire. I don't think my in-game counterpart would be very happy about this but out of character I think this is sexy.
Still suck at fencing. What else is new?

Tried saber.

Suck at that.
