Walls should have handles on them so you can climb up them. Ceilings should also have handles so you can climb around on them. You could get from one side of a room to another side without touching the floor. Floors should have trap doors so you can go to the room below without using the stairs; and ceilings should have trap doors so you can get to the room above without using the stairs.
Also, the outsides of buildings should be climbable so you can get to the roof.
Additionally, you know those playgrounds that they have at elementary schools? They should have altered versions of those for older people; I mean, children can willingly be very active when they want to be; and they learn agility, strength, balance, and what can basically be described as Le Parkour on a playground. There should be playgrounds for older children and adults; scaled up to fit. Not only would that be really fun, it would help people become more active.
As-is, I climb trees and try to make do with kiddie playgrounds, but I'm quite small anyway so that's alright. I just wish all you guys could have that kind of fun.
man, third-grade-me could wall-jump, shimmy, somersault, bounce, and run up vertical surfaces for a bit like nobody's business.
I mean, I could outrun and outclimb and out-tumble third-grade-me (yay, gymnastics lessons that I am sadly not able to do during the school year), who had a terrible sense of balance; but third-grade-me had skills that I've lost.
For some reason, when I started to put actual effort into practicing my piano (sure, I'd had lessons since second grade, but I hadn't really put any effort into them); my balance got way better. I have no idea why; though maybe it has something to do with how the stuff responsible for balance is in the ear, which is where hearing is; so maybe training one trained the other.
I can't wall-jump anymore, but at least I can stand on one leg, which third-grade-me couldn't do.
This school year, I stopped taking piano lessons; and I've become more easily disoriented. Sometimes I feel like the floor is tilted.
^^ That would be fun. I could definitely get more exercise that way; I really liked climbing and running around on stuff despite my dual terror of heights and hurting myself (the latter of which still kind of owns my life). Parkour would be awesome to learn, too, although I don't think I could do it very well.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."

Hello everypony.
I, like...don't understand anymore. I slept maybe 4 hours at most, and I feel way more rested now (even after having been awake an hour) than I did yesterday after sleeping 7 hours. What the fuck, body.
(but I understand if you feel the need for change - I'm hoping it works out for you, and that we can still talk elsewhere)
Oh, don't worry, I'm not talking about completely flipping my sleep schedule, just adjusting it a couple hours, and perhaps keeping myself from getting so lethargic and zombie-like during my nighttime friend-talking-time.
Semi-relatedly, I seem to have hit that point again where I'm drinking so much soda that the caffeine has no noticeable effect on me. Time to scale back... >_>
Over the next few months, I'm gonna aim to become a bit more active during daytime hours myself. It's become something of a serious issue with me lately. This will likely involve some adjustment of my own sleep schedule, but will hopefully allow me to still talk to my dear (<insert bitching about time zones here>) and you guys.
Here's hoping we can reach some sort of new equilibrium with our sleep schedules - one that will be overall more physically and mentally healthy for both of us.
Yeah, EA's policies are pretty bad, but the stuff they do is a minor inconvenience at worst in comparison to what BoA (who I'm currently in an argument over FHA money over) and Exxon have done. Then again, my interest in EA's latest product is pretty low.

I would like to be selectively more daytimey, if I could. I still liking staying up at night, because it gives me more alone time than I'd have otherwise, but I kinda regret that I end up sleeping through most of my opportunities to be outside 'n' stuff.
Plus, when I eventually get a job, there's a good chance I'll have to flip to daytimey anyway. I've done it before, but I kinda don't feel ready to make that change just yet.
Note that I said "over the next few months", not "immediately". I also like staying up at night too much to ever switch to a ProfGator-style sleeping schedule. It's just that it's starting to pose a serious issue with my parents and with my ability to actually do anything, so I'm gonna try to become more aware of my schedule, you know?
On a related note, I'm also going to have to get a job in the next couple of months, so I'll likely have to flip to a more daytimey schedule myself. I'm kind of dreading making that step, but hopefully I can find a job that still allows me a bit of daytime web-surfing and builds up my resume.
I wish you the best of luck with making these steps yourself, whenever you're ready to make them.

Whoa, hey, same here. The thought of getting a job still kind of terrifies me, honestly, even though I've done it before and came out with a glowing review. It's just...it'll be such a huge change from what I'm used to, you know?

Also, only now that I've been up two hours is the tiredness from not actually sleeping starting to seep in.

You know what always confused me? When people take liberties with street names.
Most of SR 3 in the Columbus area is called Westerville Road, but when it passes into Westerville proper it becomes State Street. The dividing line, effectively, is the Outerbelt—south of I-270, SR 3 is Westerville Road, north of I-270, SR 3 is State Street.
But for some reason, most people seem to refer to the portion from I-270 all the way north to "Uptown" Westerville as "Westerville Road" as well, even though the signs and maps all say State Street.
It seems weird to me, because if you're looking for an address on that portion of SR 3, it's going to be a State Street address, not a Westerville Road address, so why refer to it by the wrong name?

Because it doesn't make sense to have "Westerville Road" in Westerville, of course. :P
Actually, I always wondered about that too. It seems like whenever a road is named for the town it leads to, the name changes when it actually enters that town. My best guess it's that it's because the local names (with such unique names as "State Street") were established when the towns were small and still relatively distant from one another, unlike the mass of suburbs they are today.

So far, my record is five.

I saw a bit of a documentary about a town where natural gas got in the water. You could set water on fire as it came out of your sink.

The town was certainly in the West. Could be Colorado.
These things always put me to sleep but I don't care because they are delicious.
