It still amazes me to this day that at 16 I found myself in the south of France renting my own hotel room.
Murk: But you're a God! The Sacred Glorificus! Glory: I'm a God in exile. Far from the Hellfires of Home and sharing my body with an enemy that stabs my boys in their fleshy little stomachs!

Connie, your hubby is Adventure Man! I mean, he may be currently retired from active, vigorous adventuring, but he must have enough stories for 2 lifetimes.

Hah. Meara, when I just skimmed through the conversation, I figured you were involved somehow.

I hate that flag.
Ha! I'll pass it on. I think that the guy just flies it because he wants to be "subversive in suburbia."

Tons of people use it, but I'm just not fond of it. Though I do love its visual pun.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

he must have enough stories for 2 lifetimes.
God, yes. He'll say things like "Yeah, wildebeest tastes pretty good, but I prefer springbok" or "snorkeling in Tahiti is great", and I'll look at him and says "When the hell did you do that?" And he'll say, "I told you about that." "No, you didn't!"
I've really got to make a time line for him. Especially as with all the drugs and ailments, he's starting to slip memory wise.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm always struck by the difference about being a boy of 16 wanting to have an adventure and a girl of 16 wanting to have an adventure
If I could have worked out a way to be on a tall ship at any physically fit age, I would have been all over it. What's the gender difference supposed to be?

I am having a hell of a time getting a visual on what to do for my bedroom. My duvet cover is deep eggplant/plum, throw pillows have a less deep purple and some deep pink accents, others are shades of green (I think I have this one still: [link] my bed is painted a deep green and my other furniture is dark stained oak.
