Die, Drôme Superthread

[phillyfan26]

Also, I took a Philly sports fan test this morning, and I'm in the middle on the bitterness scale: a "wide eyed realist."

 

[Axver]

I'm about 5'6" as well, but I've not a bloody clue how much I weigh. Don't have a set of scales or anything.

I mainly only understand weight in stone too, since that's what my mother weighed me in when I was little. I take it 113 pounds isn't much, though?

 

[phanan]

113 pounds? Holy shit.

 

[phillyfan26]

8.07 stones.

 

[phanan]

That is seriously low, I think.

What did the doctor say about that?

 

[phillyfan26]

For comparison, my 15 year old brother is 5'9", 141 pounds (10.07 stones).

 

[Axver]

Woah, yeah, that's pretty bloody light.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

eat more philly cheese steaks...

 

[phillyfan26]

That is seriously low, I think.

What did the doctor say about that?

She spoke in circles about it for ten minutes and ultimately recommended I get tests at a specialized center.

I've always been underweight, but my slow growth progress has completely stopped. I think my weight last October was about 116, so you'd figure it would go up.

 

[phillyfan26]

They don't think it's medically necessary to have it checked out (i.e.: I'm not sick or anything), she just thinks it's curious and that I should look into it if I want to know about potential future growth.

Phanan: what's the best Magic Tour bootleg to download, in your opinion?

I'm going for the show I saw and one other one. Trying to figure out what the other one should be.

 

[Axver]

There we go, just finished the 2008 Shit Boring Entry Series on my blog.

Because I'm sure everybody totally wants a read:
axver: Bringing New Zealand back on track, I: Introduction and the upper North Island
axver: Bringing New Zealand back on track, II: The lower North Island
axver: Bringing New Zealand back on track, III: The South Island, rolling stock, and concluding thoughts

No, I know you're not going to waste your time. It's dull transport shit. But I enjoyed wasting my time!

 

[phillyfan26]

I'm not going to just because I'm not familiar with New Zealand issues.

To be honest, I haven't listened to any other shows from the tour other than the Boston show I went to (Danny's last full show), which is damn good in its own right. I have read that the sound quality of the San Jose show is excellent, however.

The setlists for the current European tour have been insane. I think if I download other shows, it'll probably be from this leg, but I still need to see which ones sound the best.

 

[phillyfan26]

I'll probably go for Philly II and San Jose, then. Thanks for the tip.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, I rather limited myself there.

I'll chuck the links at Ian sometime to see if he at least skimreads it.

Now I suppose I'll go back to ranting about politics or something. The frigging Catholic World Youth Day about to get under way in Sydney is irritating me, or more to the point, I'm irritated by the use of taxpayer funds on it and the implementation of special laws to limit freedom of speech.

 

[phillyfan26]

I'm Catholic. I didn't know we had a world youth day.

 

[Axver]

World Youth Day 2008 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikipedia reckons half a million people will attend the final mass.

 

[phanan]

Screwtape, if you read this before going in the other thread, I need your Retro playlist ASAP.

 

[redhotswami]

Hey all.




What's the bloody point of that?

ESL ftw!

 

[Irishteen]

I'm small, and there's apparently not a single person in the entire medical field who can explain why I've lost weight over the past year as opposed to gaining weight like a normal high schooler would.

5'6", 113 pounds

I have a friend who's about that weight, I can't really remember but he's about your height and underweight...and yet he goes without eating a lot, despite looking insanely thin.

and 113, that's got to put your bmi under 18.5 doesn't it?

 

[LemonMelon]

113 pounds? Holy shit.

I can relate with him.

Actually, I have no idea how much I weigh right now, because it's been over a year since I last did, but it wouldn't surprise me if it weren't much more than that. Plus, I'm 5'8".

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

just wait till you get older... i used to be skinny
