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.
Now she chooses to worry.

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

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.

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.
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).

Conversations with my parents:
Mom: Well, 30 was a lifechanging year for me. I spent most of it pregnant with you and wow.
Dad: Oh that's right!
Mom: So did you just NOW figure out how that happened?
Dad: Oh shit, we did that several times last night!
(this is after being told that my parents were going off for a weekend in the mountain of "uninhibited sex." God love them, they do their best to warp me.)
I love guacamole.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I put lipstick on a marine. Then we got kicked out. Still, lipstick on a pretty marine!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Sarameg, your parents are hysterical! I hope you are having a very Happy Birthday!
