So I finally hauled ass this morning and ran 10 kms (9 and a bit, but who's counting?). I'm pretty perplexed at how well my body adjusts to over activeness, considering I smoke like a Jewish grandmother. Funny how taking a 'leisurely' stroll downhill nearly kills me but running uphill gives me enough adrenaline to bite the head off a newborn child with glee.

So my brother bought a BB gun a couple of weeks ago and didn't bother to tell me (we never call eachother when we should -- like, when my sister ended up in the hospital -- but we always make sure to at least Facebook the other to brag about snatching Call of Duty: World at War 5 minutes before midnight struck) so I was morbidly/blissfully surprised when I went home to my parents' house and was pummeled by plastic red BBs.

After I lost my shit, I wrestled the gun away from my brother and headed outside to hunt. And by hunt I mean shoot at urban pests. No such luck. Fucken squirrels are getting quicker by the generation. I went inside and told my brother to put away the popcorn popper and that if he was hoping for some fun times with the BB, to not bother because it was slim pickings outside.

(I just read that last bit and just realized how hillbilly I sounded. I do not hunt squirrel for meat. I just shoot them with BB guns. You know, for fun.)

My brother looked at me horrified and asked if I really was looking to shoot a squirrel. I told him that it's not as bad as it sounds. He looked at me with more horror when he realized that this wasn't the first time I shot at an animal more useless than a college girl under a chastity oath. He resumed with the last little bit of respect he had for me when I told him that I never killed them, you kind of just put them in a daze and it's funny to watch them before they regain conciousness and scurry away.

Bored with a lack of alcohol, we did what two young adults with a BB gun would do:

Walk into our younger sister's room and proceed to empty the reserve on her napping body.*

* She was under 2 layers of blankets and was not harmed in any way. We hope, anyway.
