Heavy

[azurelunatic]

I am accustomed to weighing 310 pounds.

Part of that is me, of course. A suprising amount of it, however, is my backpack. I carry around the books for all my classes, and do a good bit of walking with the backpack on. I got a new backpack recently, and have discovered that when I'm wearing it, it feels like almost a part of me. When I walk around not wearing it, I feel light, able to propel myself further, with more grace.

I like my backpack. I like knowing how strong I am, to carry around the huge monster thing without trouble, and I like the freedom of being able to take off the backpack and fly.

I remember that effect. I should put those on my queue of Books To Get. Little fay will like them, I think, and they're relatively clean.

Watch out: it's easy to overdose on McManus. I should go back and see if I've recovered yet. It's been a year or two since I read two books of his without pausing. Bedtime story pacing ought to be fine, but slurping definitely isn't.

(This is the _Real Ponies Don't Go Oink!_ guy, right?)
