It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
It's not much of anything, just a little drabble that was a response to something Seanee said in my LJ. Because we both *heart* The Cutting Edge.
"Toe pick!"
Faith pauses halfway through picking herself up off the ice. "Stop fucking saying that, B."
Buffy skates into a graceful spin, head thrown back, twirling so fast Faith can barely make out her edges. She comes out of it, skates over and extends a hand. Her face splits into one of those shit-eating grins she's been wearing since they hit Cleveland. "Just remember how the movie ends, Faith."
Faith can't help it. It's been best of the guilty pleasures night every night since they set up shop, and between Buffy, Willow, Andrew, and Xander, Faith's practically a one-Slayer Siskel and Ebert now. She takes Buffy's hand, holding it tight as she stands, leans over to whisper in Buffy's ear, "As you wish."
Then she skates off and waits for the fireworks.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Damn, Plei.
Sweeeeeeeet.
edit: BTW - one of my fave movies ever, as well. "These are FIGURE skates, pal."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Does everybody use "Toe pick!"? It crops up fairly regularly in household conversation. As does, "As you wish."

No toe picks here. I'm not even sure what that's from!

Moira Kelly's character uses it to taunt D.B. Sweeney's character in The Cutting Edge when he (hockey player) is getting used to figure skates. Hockey skates don't have toe picks, so he keeps snagging his toes and falling. She, who has been on figure skates since she could walk, glides by him sitting on the ice and carols, "Toe pick!" repeatedly. He's a bootstrap character, she's a brat.

My single childhood ice-skating expedition was an emotional and physical meltdown, so I haven't tried since. (Although I learned to roller-skate as an adult.)

Who? moi??
a meltdown on ice could be very traumatic. Especially if you don't swim.

I miss ice skating, damnit. I was, er, more power than grace, but I was very small at the time.
