Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

The first time I was hospitalized as a child, I was very disappointed to be in my own room.

Hilary Swank should sue.
Yeah. And she should use any monies awarded to buy a freaking cheeseburger. Mischa looks cute with her freckles showing.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I played this all the time, though not at school. It was a neighborhood game.

That's what I meant by not playing it on the playground. It was a back yard game (or played on a nearby college sports field and the surrounding woods - a lot of my friends while growing up had parents who were Bowdoin profs. or alumni, so we felt entitled and pretty much got away with it; later it became frisbee/party central during high school).

Smear the Queer is actually a really good self-adjusting game for a group of kids...It looks like anarchy, but it's anarchy which gives the kids playing a chance to play to their strengths.

Been said before, and will be said again: Robin is wise.

Scrappy, however, is an inferno.

It can be fun if everyone plays in the spirit of the game and isn't out to specifically hurt others

This is key. A group of neighborhood kids used to play it and it was fine (even though we did break some windows!) However, I HATED HATED HATED it when it was a compulsory activity at school. It was awful then.

The warning was there--as big as life. Why did I ignore it? Why? Why? Why?

I hated gym in general because I felt awkward and clumsy from the time I was 11 on. Once I got into middle school, gym was DAILY torture. Undressing and standing around in the gym with a bunch of girls I didn't know that well probably put me off exercise for life.

I wish there was some way to make gym class fun without the stress. I stopped taking phys ed classes as soon as I was able and promptly gained 50 lbs in high school.

OK, mortgage agents calling just to find out where to send information freak me out.

I think if I do end up buying a house? I'm going to end up more spastic than my psycho kitty. Good lord.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My ears itch a lot.

I think we ruled out too much swabbing a while ago.
