Why Exercise is Good For You

There I was at the gym, earlier than usual because I had an appt and I'm tired of having my gym time sacrificed. Well, who should be there but the man I like to think of as my personal cover model. Alas, not my in-person personal cover model (although we have said hello from time to time, somehow "Hello. Will you be my personal cover?" is beyond my ability to utter.) He's an electrician and I wish I had the nerve to ask him why he's an electrician when he could be a model. I have seen his abs (only through his shirt, but it was tight and white and thin, but not a showing off kind of shirt, but a this shirt was on top shirt.) He's ripped, but it looks like it comes from being an electrician not going to the gym. If I see him again, like apparently, if I change my gym time, maybe I'll lose my mind and ask him that. Ok, anyway, that's not even the exercise is good for you thing, although,come to think of it, that is one reason. A n y h o o....

There I was, drooling and reading Milton's Paradise Lost. Satan was listening to his chief minions talk about what to do to get back at God now that they're stuck in Hell and bam! Fabulous idea for my Dark Elf. And, no, it does not involve an electrician-cover model elf, although, he's my elf exactly. Honest. Pose him with a strategically placed broadsword and instant-elf. Hmm. I seem to be distracted. So, anyway, that's why exercise is good for you. Seeing your elf at the gym. I mean, um, having a great story idea for a WIP.

Comments:
I've got the same kind of guy I see at my gym...he's got the face of a cynical, jaded rake who's closeted himself off on his enormous manor so he can brood. Yum. I haven't seen his stomach, though. Rats. Must work on that.
 
Ooh, lucky you! Elf-man was at the gym today when I was. A very thrilling time for me. He's as lucious as ever.
