...and who had worked so effectively to insulate him against the myriad social vicissitudes involved in his official duty to live on closest terms of familiarity with more than nine hundred unfamiliar officers and enlisted men who thought him an odd duck.

Are there any that dont sparkle?

i actually do juggle. i know it's hard to believe, but my cute little username actually does have some sort of meaning behind it. And the meaning is quite literal: i do love to juggle. That doesnt mean i'm good, but i have been known to juggle things that are on fire...

Recently, RIT hosted a juggling convention and i was thinking about picking up some gear. Mainly, i wanted juggling balls that didnt bounce everywhere when i dropped them (which happens a whole lot).

i went to a vendor and saw a great selection of colors for beanbag-type juggling balls. The issue: they all sparkled. Come on, i know you wonder what's different about me because i love to juggle, but sparkly juggling balls?

i asked the lady, "Do you have any juggling balls that dont sparkle?"

Her response?
That's such an odd request. I haven't heard that one before.
Really?
