Avoid the serpents.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Is the ecstatic dancing required? That *is* intriguing.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I believe that ecstatic dancing can't really share space with other activities. In the before times, there was a weekly aession at the local theatre. My impression was that it was a lot of close proximity to sweaty bodies. Since we have an over-abundance of hippies, the bodies in question tended to have an un-viking-like relationship to regular hygiene and bathing.

I guess I'm wondering if it is ok to wedge yourself into a corner and not dance if you don't feel moved to

Yeah, I really like to dance, but *ecstatic* dancing? That might be a lot to ask if you're not in the right brainspace.

This made me chuckle. I haven't come across this many examples before.

Our wings are not tired
I've been a quite a few cruises. Almost all of them working on designing shows and things like that, but still I think around 60 of them total. Mostly all around the Caribbean, but also an Atlantic Crossing, the Mediterranean Sea, Alaska, and the Mexican Riviera. I enjoy them. It's basically a giant floating luxury resort and you wake up in a new city each day. You really only have enough time in each port to get a sampler sized taste of it though. I think that's the biggest drawback. I find cruises are especially nice when you are going with a group of friends since there's lot of ways you can get together, but also do things that suit each individual.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I’ve been on two cruises in my life. One with my parents when I was in college.(basic Caribbean cruise) The other was a few years ago with Gary and Mr. S, in the western Caribbean.

Punishingly Intricate
I like the idea that I'm the sort of person who you'd think of doing a barge trip in France, meara! But, alas, we have not! My aunt and her husband did one of those river cruises in Germany a few years back and LOVED it. I would probably enjoy one of those but not one of those classic, ginormous ship cruises.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes! I was kind of surprised to find I like both cruises and group tours. I like having other people plan for me and not having to figure stuff out, especially in a group.
