Stupid bullies.
Oh yeah, we had those. For some reason, I got bullied by some kids one year behind me.
The worst thing was when a kid tried to trip me while I was going down the stairs on crutches.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
See, this is what I meant when I said, "less sad than it sounds." No one was ever mean to me!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My family moved countries when I was 1, 4, 12, and 18. It just seems like the thing to do now. I have never had a need for the sort of security that mac must be craving right now, and my heart breaks for him and every kid that needs it.

An oil rig has exploded 80 miles off the coast of Louisiana, with 12 people overboard and one missing, the Coast Guard said Thursday morning.
Rescue attempts are underway for at least 12 people, Coast Guard spokesman John Edwards told CNN. 13 people were on board the rig total, Edwards said, noting 12 have been accounted for, but one person was missing.
The accident took place 80 miles off the coast of Louisiana on the Vermilion Oil rig 380, which is owned by Houston-based Mariner Energy.

That would be a blessing, if true.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I can think of a whole lot of replies to that, but none are workplace appropriate.
Or appropriate for someone else's blog! I still haven't answered.
Bullies - I got bullied a lot in elementary school. I was the only geeky smart kid in the whole county, apparently. The worst was when an older boy pushed me down the stairs. There were only three steps, but still, I had my right arm in a cast (broken when I got thrown from a horse) and I landed on that arm and jarred the healing bone. I remember bursting into tears in the doctor's office when he told me I'd have to wear the cast for another five weeks. The bone still didn't heal right. I don't think the boy even got yelled at.
Man, I fucking hated school.

Figures.
These days, schools are better at combating bullying, right?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Fucking a on the well explosion.
Zenkitty, nothing like mansplaining to make you see red.
Shortly after I moved, a boy stuck a sign on my back that said, "I can't help it if my butt smells." I didn't notice until I got back to class and had it pointed out to me. Little wanker.
