I don't flinch anywhere near enough. It definitely bothers me. I'm an idiot.

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

I tried to get into SCA heavy combat, but I froze at the first sword blow towards my head. Hubby was just thrilled that I gave it a shot and said normal people always react poorly to things being swung at their heads. I got through enough to qualify for light combat, ie, combat archery, where we shot golf tubes with tennis balls taped to the end at each other. I never objected to that, and for a while I was the terror of the battlefield with a bow. Good times.

I don't duck, I turn towards gunshots, I step forward when I should step back--I'd make the shortest lived action hero ever.

I am having chocolate bacon cookies. I was supposed to be saving them for breakfast, but I got distracted. Please let me stop at three...

My dinner was a piece of toast with peanut butter, and a bunch of cookies with milk.
Some days, one just has to be twelve.

Chocolate bacon cookies? Oooh.
Though the cupcake place did start selling cake pops, and I had one of each (a cupcake and a cake pop) today. And they were nom.
I was always very bad at baseball/softball as a kid--I think that it stemmed from several years where my eyesight was not great, but no one realized it yet, and then a lack of hand-eye coordination stemming from some of that for a few years. By that point I was just flinchy every time anything came near me. I completely shocked myself at one point shortly after college when a friend tossed her keys and I reached up and grabbed them out of the air! (They were being tossed over my head to a friend behind me).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
