I think everyone who lived through the Depression came out of it with permanent food anxiety.
Oh, yes. With an extra dose for those from the dust bowl.
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I don't know that my parents came out with food anxiety, but my mother refused to include chicken in the meals she served us for most of my childhood. When my grandfather was laid off from the Ford plant in 1933, they went to live on the farm the family owned up near flint for two years. And guess what grandma raised. Yeah, nearly put mom off chicken for life.

My mom was the same way about oatmeal.

It cracks me up that I'll still happily eat the cheese sandwiches that took to school every non-hamburger day from 2nd through 5th grades. I guess if you get to choose the one thing you eat all the time as a child it doesn't form an aversion.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I still happily eat peanut butter (no jelly) which was the only sandwich my mother would give me because there is no refrigeration in schools. She still put an icepack in my lunchbox. She was very nervous about food poisoning.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Well, you made it this far!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
So basically, he doesn't have any plans, at least not that he's telling.
I have so many misgivings about the future of Avengers. I don't think I'm going to like Ultron much after about halfway through, and I hate the whole Civil War concept. I'm trying not to think about it, and at the same time keep an open mind, because I loved The Avengers so much and I'm afraid the rest will tarnish my happiness. I didn't even go see Winter Soldier until I got reassurance that they hadn't fucked everything up.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I like this:
I will say that when I was thinking about, Well, if I wasn’t going to do Avengers 2, what would I want to do? — of course the first thing I thought of was “turn-of-the-century female Batman.” Not Batman actually. But, you know, something cool. One person. Can’t stress that enough. Movie about one person — not a team, not 10, just one. But [I would] do a nice sort of hard action movie that combined all my favorite things. Something that would be the love child of Sam Fuller and Edward Gorey. You know, I’ve had many thoughts since then. Oh, I could do this! Oh, I could do that! But it is my instinct to want to tell those stories.
