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.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Our parents gave us with bows and arrows and guns that fired plastic discs semi-automatically. So the times where we decided to bare-knuckle box were steps down in armament.

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.

As it happens, I just got that movie from Netflix. I will have to check out the song.

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.

Balance. And the boards I'm learning on (foam) aren't slippery. But it's about balance, and keeping your weight pressed against the board (mine whizzed out from right underneath me today, while I was just lying on it).
