I cannot read that without hearing it said by a cow creamer.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like tommy's brain. This has such Dark Magic appeal.
Yay!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I got a stupid mosquito (I assume) bite right where my pointer finger meets my hand, and it was super-annoying. I recommend avoiding that.

I'm wishing that I had slept all day. Right now Spiderman 2 is on. It's atrocious. and I even liked the first one.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
All Spiderman2 left me with was a great desire to never see Alfred Molina (is that right?) shirtless.

I seem to have two related superpowers in relation to insects - one useless/harmful one mildly_useful/don't_count_on_it.
I seem to attract mosquitos better than anyone I've ever known. If I go out with friends the bity bugs will ignore everyone else to dive bomb me. (Actually I guess that is useful - just not to me.)
The useful one: bees, wasps, hornets red ants and so forth - the insects with major stings seem to leave me alone. I have never been stung. When I was three there was a field filled with bees near our house. Knowing no better I would run into it, and chase to bees to watch all the pretty patterns they made - until my parents caught me and nearly had a heart attack and explained to me why this was a Very Bad Thing. At 20 I was also on a camping trip where six of us stumbled on a hornets nest. I was the slowest runner of the bunch and still the only one the did not get stung. In general I've had my share of this type of encounter and gotten away scott free. I would never bet on this; I'm pretty sure if I went deliberately provoking sting insects I would regret it sooner rather than later - but in the meantime I can boast of never having been bee/wasp/hornet/ant stung or spider bitten.
Of course the latter is one reason I don't have spider strength...

It's so bad that we can't stop watching it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I liked Spiderman 2 better than the first one, but I found some huge flaws in it that stand apart from my lack of affection for the character -- just some admission of the fact that the issues that bother him at the start of the movie are mostly unresolved at the end. I thought that dissatisfying.

It's painfully difficult for me to watch. I liked the first one so much more.
What did you like about the second one?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
My worst insect experience involved falling off my bike and landing with my ankle in a fire ant bed. I don't think we even tried to count the individual stings, but it swelled up like a bad sprain.
