Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like this picture: [link]

Apparently non-invisible dogs don't like invisible dogs....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I swear, Improv Everywhere does more for quality of life than anyone.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Seriously.

An article about gay kids in middle school: [link] I have to say, adults are nuts if they think most kids aren't exploring their sexuality in middle school -- kids in my class started "going out" in 5th grade, even though many of those "couples" never actually spent any time together, much less fooled around.

Yeah, I remember that. Although I had no interest in "going out" with girls until I was in 10th grade....

Definitely not everyone did, but it was in the air for sure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have at least one gay friend who says he knew from kindergarten. He just didn't want to pull any girl's ponytails.

Heh.

Oh, I totally forgot - when I was in first grade, I was under the impression I had three girlfriends. But then I somehow lost interest in girlfriends until 10th grade.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was far too terrified of The Other Humans to actually do anything about it in middle school, but hello - puberty! Of course that's when people start exploring sexuality!
