This describes my mood today perfectly.
Just today?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
As for violent childhood games, we never played it on the playground (to hard a surface and they wouldn't have let us), but I used to love what some call "Kill the guy with the ball" but what we called by the very un-PC name of "Smear the queer". Basically, think of rugby, but no rules, no teams and no scoring. Whoever has the ball tries to keep it; everybody else pretty much has carte blanche to do what they can to get it away from the person who has it. If you get the ball away, you try and keep it and everyone comes after you. Maybe it's closer to a sort of reverse tag, but with more violence.
I played this all the time, though not at school. It was a neighborhood game. Unfortunately, some of the boys I played with were kinda scared of my dad and wouldn't tackle me.
Drive to work this morning was awful. There's a place where 4 highways meet and split again. One of the splits is on my way to work- an 18 wheeler was going to fast to make the split, wrecked and shut down one of the highways. Took me an hour and 15 for what's usually about a half hour drive.
Mathy people: I just used algebra at work! There is simpler way to do it, but I needed to see the number relationships to figure out original pricing on stuff that had been marked down 25%. So, I wrote out the formula, and then whizzed through pricing them back!

I should be doing homework, but the finale of the Surreal Life 4 is really distracting. What is wrong with me?

If I only had a brain...
Ennui.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ennui.
I was gonna post that, but I just didn't care....

I used to enjoy People's Most Beautiful issues, because I like pretty pictures.
Well, don't go look at the couples section. Really.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Smear the Queer is actually a really good self-adjusting game for a group of kids. If you like being chased, you get the ball and try your skills at running away. If you like tackling folks, there's lots of opportunity and if you like running interference for littler kids from overzealous tacklers, you can do that. Or you can do what I did and run around with the whole pack, but never really take anyone down or get tackled yourself, but still have a good time.It looks like anarchy, but it's anarchy which gives the kids playing a chance to play to their strengths.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, don't go look at the couples section. Really.
I did. I don't think I saw a couple in which both parties were beautiful. Cool? Sexy? Perhaps. But it's Hollywood! How can you be so far from the beautiful?

What is even happening?
I have a friendly viciousness.
Me too. Field hockey was cool.Oh yeah, it's all fun and games and possibly one of the few sports other than soft ball and basketball you've ever show any proclivity for, and then you break the finger of one of the most popular girls in school, who is a senior, when you're a sophmore.

I did.
I'm sorry. There were some stinky pictures for sure.
