What if you're uncomfortable ALL THE TIME? What does that mean?

(And could I have just a couple of months that are boring please?)

It means you will soon have your own gravitational pull.

I'm uncomfortable most of the time. I must be huuuuge.

I think that has more to do with those habanero doritos, jon.

chewie: actually I am a svelte and sassy 6'1" 160. I also enjoy long walks on the beach, creme brulee and John Coltrane.

That doesn't sound very uncomfortable to me. Ya big hairy heart, you.

My discomfort tends to be pyschic enviornmental or economic. So that should make me the size of Refrigerator Perry.

I'm pretty uncomfortable right now, and have been for the past couple of days. I'm trying, but my heart's not in it. Still angry, I guess.

I feel slighted and I don't really want to make the effort anymore.

So that's growing, huh?

Go towards the discomfort.

Oh man. In the last three days I've grown to the size of a small solar system.

I've been uncomfortable most of my life.

I feel uncomfortable about talking about how umcomfortable I am, so I'd rather just tell you all that the angels that come in through my windows at night are telling me that I can fly.

They were wrong.

You know what works well to dispell discomfort and the inevitable weight loss it initiates? Denial. Works wonders.

Ethylene, you make me less uncomfortable. I think I'll stay.

Am I growing yet?

I agree. Henry Rollins has something to say on it too....

Go without a coat when it's cold; find out what cold is. Go hungry; keep your existence lean. Wear away the fat, get down to the lean tissue and see what it's all about. The only time you define your character is when you go without. In times of hardship, you find out what you're made of and what you're capable of. If you're never tested, you'll never define your character.
