Stupidass comment from me for the day:
Aw shit, I just got another raise.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
YAY raise. I forgot to post that I'll be getting a raise also and then most likely another one in November. YAY

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies,
I actually like summer. Just don't care for the ridonkulous heat we're having right now. I was together with some friends yesterday and one of them commented that she didn't think she'd ever seen me in shorts before. I told her it was because it wass the first time she'd seen me when it was 9 million degrees out.
When I was heading back from lunch, some neighborhood kids were riding their skateboards. In the heat. In direct sunlight. On asphalt. Doing tricks. I actually got outside quite a bit as a kid, but today would have been an inside with the AC playing video games (Commodore 64, baby!) sort of day. Yeesh.

Kids today! With their heat-defying skateboarding!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, okay, I'll click, but you're going to have to write a note to my boss explaining why I'm never getting any work done again.

A raise is always a reminder I make too much and will have a helluva time meeting it elsewhere.
I spent most of my childhood outdoors in the summer. I think kids just don't mind getting all sweaty and nasty the way most adults do.

I seem to recall that children as a rule sweat less than adults, and are actually more heat-tolerant in general.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Growing up in Phoenix and LV I was pretty insensitive to the heat. Weather never played a role in whether or not I went outside.
Summer is also my favorite season.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The smaller you are, the more efficiently you cool, IIRC. Plus, as a kid, I never worried about being sweaty. I wouldn't now, but I do every now and again have to be presentable.
Plus I do my own laundry.
