Why having access to a child is fun.

Ew.  Now that I read that title back, it sounds pretty pervy and gross.  Allow me to explain:

Having a small child around (for example, my boyfriend's six year old niece) forces you to come up with wonderful child-friendly, creative activities when you might otherwise choose to sit on your butt all day and leave the house only to obtain food.

Basically what I'm trying to say is - today my boyfriend, his niece, and I had an epic water balloon-slash-silly string-slash-water gun fight on the (vacant) field of the nearby elementary school.  It was so freakin fun.
Not that my boyfriend and I only participate in activities intended for children (playing in the local pool's kids play center, for example) when his niece is around, but that's besides the point.  And since epic water gun fights are one of the very few times when I feel that running is legitimately required and encouraged (the only other example I can think of being getting chased by someone intending to do me bodily harm), I got lots of awesome exercise today without any extra effort or time on my part.
I guess the point of this is that I'm very happy with the way I spent my Saturday. :)

As a result of all that motion, I have spent my time since dinner laying on my boyfriend's bed with my computer propped up on my stomach, waiting desperately for the English subbed version of the new episode of 2ne1 TV to come out, listening to music, and reading a blog while he plays Warcraft III next to me because he's a nerdbomber. :D

We'll probably spend the remainder of the evening playing Kinect and watching movies because we're shmawesome.  So there. :)
