Tennis fans - did you see the slow motion video gallery of several top women tennis players? The first one is just - whoa! The splits!!
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
oh, I quoted that yesterday and just assumed everyone had already heard it. it is 8000 kinds of awesome and I am going to get so busted singing it at some point.
It's way catchy, but lords I get twitchy listening to songs about how women are just horrible for not being with the narrator.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a tennis/formal wear kink I just can't explain. Thanks for that link, sumi. I had no idea I had those feelings for Stosur.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Much health-ma to Perkins and Drew. I'm glad they caught that early, Perkins. I hope they figure out what the deal is, ND.
My biggest written tic is "Anyway..." as a transition or to bring a subject to a close. I have to watch out that I don't use it a bunch of times in the same piece of writing (generally email). I suspect I do it verbally as well, but I haven't paid close enought attention to know for sure.
I also tend to use "wicked" in the New England sense of the word.
