'Glass jaws' do actually exist, but it's hard to tell who has one without hitting them a number of times in different manners first.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One of the guys in my instructor group got knocked out during a test (not the stick to the head guy) and his passing out was described like those little plastic toys with elastic inside that you make collapse by pressing the button underneath the base. Do those have a name? I wouldn't say he has a glass jaw, just that he took the right hit at the right time. We see that sort of collapse every now and again.
Hurts less than a liver shot from what I've heard.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Congrats, Cashmere! Happy birthday, Olivia Rose!
I have no comment on head injuries, other than the fact that my old boss was previously the manager of a group home for people with brain injuries, which was the source of most of her best stories, as well as (I assume) her most annoying trait: every so often she'd tell you something Really Slowly And Clearly To Make Sure You Understood, as if you had a brain injury.

It's kind of weird IMing with someone two cubes over. But I do know his LOLs are literal. That's some comfort.

Ooh! The babysitting has begun? How cool. Alibelle's a magic fit.
She's great, it's true. They watched a princess video.

In one of my first jobs in LA, I worked for a Case Manager who worked with a lot of TBI patients. Lots of good stories which were a result of TBI resulting in a lack of impulse control.
I need to call Alibelle this week. Gr.

My favorite was when people would start freaking out at work, and she'd start with, "This is not an emergency. An emergency is a resident who got on some random bus and doesn't know how to get home. An emergency is a resident up on the roof. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FUNDRAISING EMERGENCY."

Aimee, I'm sorry. Stomach flu sucks. Poor little Em.
