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.

Weather never played a role in whether or not I went outside.

Winter rain would drive me inside. Because, you know, I might melt. Plus it was cold.

I still love the sensation of your skin tightening up when you walk outside into 100 degree dry heat. It's refreshing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

it isn't the heat that I mind, it is the fact that I am supposed to do stuff other than watch tv and read when it is hot.
