Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Shortly after I moved, a boy stuck a sign on my back that said, "I can't help it if my butt smells."

I can't help it if this made me laugh out loud!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

We moved From California to Louisiana the summer between my first and second grades. I think my older brother had a hard time with it, but it was easy for me. But I am the cat who walks alone and all places are the same to me.

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

Thinking back, I've only been in one short, lame fight when I was in 3rd or 4th grade. All the other times when I was hit, it never occurred to me to hit back or else I was too afraid of getting into a fight with the kid who hit me.

Because books.

I think the only physical fights I was ever in were with my brother when we were pretty little. He was a scratcher, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh! Today is 9/02/10. Celebrate West Beverly High!

I wish I could sing the opening of the theme song through the board! And then fake punch you in the face, like in the opening credits.

Please note: I would never punch you in the face.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I will thrust out my bosom and make full pouty lips!!

Yes, please. And often.

For being the perfect target for bullying (fat, nerdy, smart, band and theatre geek), I wasn't bullied. There was one girl in 8th and 9th grade who thought her shit didn't stink was was kinda mean to everyone. One day during marching band practice I had some words with her and made her cry. She stopped after that. And, the entire band, including the band director, gave me mad props for it.

I think the majority of people have felt bullied or ostracized in middle school. Even the "popular" kids would claim that.

hip deep in pie

I gave a boy a fat lip in grade primary. I was teased in elementary school, but it was by boys who teased all the girls. Other than that, I had one incident with a girl in grade 8, and that didn't last long.

In HS, was an Ally Sheedy in Breakfast Club freak of my class. I think people were a little afraid of me. I think I encouraged that.
