I have been very remiss in my blogging...But I have my reasons. SwD was complaining about my lack of entries recently, and I said, "Tons of stuff is going on; I don't know why I'm being so remiss."
And she said, wisely as she is sometimes wont to do, "Because you're supposed to be telling girls to be careful. And you're not being careful at all!"
Sure aren't. I'm an emotional sky diver! It's fun, not as scary as you'd think, and you should try it sometimes.
Double check your parachute, though, ladies. And aim for a warm, shark-free body of water.

Skipping the rather obvious "careful/safe sex" pun a less educated person of a lower caste might attempt, I would like to say: no body of water is wholly without sharks. Once, I believed that they needed salt or possibly brackish water to survive. As I learned on a family vacation to Iowa's landlocked Lake Okoboji, I was wrong. Dead wrong.
And you know that saying, "It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye?" Well, turns out losing 65% of your torso isn't much fun, either.

What I like most about one word responses is that they don't really leave much room for comebacks. I mean, what could anyone add that would be similarly brief and cutting like the crew that sang "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" (although if memory serves, they didn't sing the parentheses)?
Half a word?
Clearly, brevity is not within my skill set. I would then add that, given the number of Hallmark-level sentiments people regularly say to each other, or lines from bad movies they repeat like sheep ("You complete me!"), "You are my shark infested waters" is not so bad, and is possibly even endearing.

Take that Y and C. I'm mother-f*cking endearing.
