The summer I was three years old, we had an extended stay at a motel with a pool, and I practically lived in the pool all summer.
I just learned on my own to swim underwater, I never learned to swim properly.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I can glue macaroni on a picture frame like a motherfucker.

I would love to learn ballroom dancing and belly dancing. I can get down with my funky self when I'm alone with the door closed and the curtains drawn.
edit: though the cats probably are snickering to themselves when I do.

I offered to cover someone's powerbook with masking tape and adding shoe polish for a faux corkboard look. She declined.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
did you do handsprings?
No, sadly. I was crap. I had no physical coordination skills until I was done with puberty. Which took a while.
A gymnast friend offered to teach me five years ago, thought it should be no problem. Hmm.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think I'm actually less coordinated now that I have hips and boobs. I'm not as much of a tomboy anymore because a) shooting a ball around D's is hard b) getting knocked in the chest hurts much more and c) everything doesn't work like it did when I was lankier rather than curvier.
