h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have been introduced to some sort of arcane practice. As I understand it this is an art of ritual self torture. The purpose is to suffer avoidable pain, so that when you are exposed to pain you cannot avoid it will be easier to handle.

It is called X-or-Size

I can only assume that X is a variable for measuring pain and size is the size of your muscles (Que rocky quotes)

Presently I feel aching all over my body, fratigue and a general feeling of being unwell. Though for some reason I feel compelled to try again next week despite all of this.

What a strange phenomonon.

You silly bean. If it's fun, then by all means go for it, but it's entirely unnecessary. The human body is remarkable in its ability to draw out pain tolerance and the ability to survive great physical stress when called upon to do so. No need to make yourself all . Unless of course it's VIP doling out the pain. Who could resist in that case?

Owww.
My me hurts.

I think it's good for me, I haven't done any excersise since semester 2 last year and I can feel it. I'm gonna get back into this thing. I don't want to get fit, thats going too far. I simply want to be 'not-un-fit'

And it is fun - I can't excersise for excersises sake - but I did liek fencing and with any luck there will be badmington next week as well. And Vip will indeed be dealing out the pain!
