Dude, that ribbon is a total choking hazard. And the ball? Don't get me started.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

It cracks me up that my parents used to think trampolining was a safe pursuit they could leave me unattended at for hours with no supervision. Not only were trampoline injuries frequent and varied, some of us devised a way to use it as a weapon against playmates—coordinating our jump harmonics to catch the third person with a rebound and catapult him off the thing altogether.

If I only had a brain...
I permanently dislocated my perk. It was ugly. One butt-twitch too many, and whammo!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Happy Birthday sarameg!
Dinner was meh. Lukewarm fried shrimp(with something that was called cocktail sauce that just...wasn't) and fries. Luckily the ice cream(mmm, peppermint stick ice cream) and the concert made up for it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Pizza has been had, though it wasn't very good. I'm watching Caddyshack, for the first time, and wondering if I can just fast forward to the parts with Bill Murray.

Right? We used to visit friends who had one, and off I'd go, no one around. I suppose they might have checked out the window every once in a while. Or not.
So, about surfing - how do you just not slip right off the board? Is there a strip of something that gives traction? Surfing is a big mystery to me. And also cool.
