I'll never be able to do the butterfly -- I can't clear my sinuses fast enough to not choke on water as I'm trying to breathe (even with opening my mouth at the above water moments). It's only strokes that keep your head above water for me, alas.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
When I was a kid I injured my shoulder swimming fly. My Chiropractor's jaw DROPPED when I showed him the motion that had caused the problem.
It can be a hard stroke to get down. In the high school league I swam in disqualifications were common. The main reason I raced it wasn't that I was particularly fast, it was that I had a "legal fly". So even though I was slow, I swam Butterfly and IMs for years because I wouldn't get a DQ. There is some life lesson there, beats me what it is.
I agree with Brenda, it feels wonderful once you get it down. I wonder if it developed in rough water -- you really are riding the water and you can get your head nice and high to take a breath.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Watching swimmers racing fly always makes my rotator cuffs hurt just a little.

Because breaststroke was too annoying? (I can't help it; the endless bob bob bob of breaststroke makes me want to drown myself to avoid it.)

OMG, fuck you MSN for spoiling me YET AGAIN.
C'mon NBC, tighten that grip -- I can't go all day not checking my effing email.

My mind immediately still goes to those make up tackle boxes from the '80s. I had a purple one. My BFF had pink.
The website looks like a place that I could lose hours if I wasn't careful.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I was up until 2am writing chapter three. Which is done! I am done. I am TIRED, but I am done.
At least with the draft. Now I need a bit of spanish translation, WIP readers, proofing, and then I can put it to bed and onto chapter four. Moving right along.
