Scrappy, that line would be funny if House said it. But so would my grocery list. Near death, besides birth, I was almost hit by a very slow-moving car in college(she saw me at the very last second) My life flashed before my eyes and shit...it was very tiny, like looking in the wrong end of a telescope.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

Well, as Freakonomics taught me, it is far more dangerous to your kids to have a pool in your yard than a gun in your house. Not that I have a pool. Or a gun. or kids.

But think how safe they'd be if you did have kids.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I was hit by a car while crossing a street, I didn't have my life flash before my eyes or anything. My initial, split-second reaction was that I could run out of the way in time. Next thing I knew, I was sitting on my ass, as the bumper of the SUV nailed my left leg. I just sat there, because I knew that my leg was probably broken so I didn't see the point in even trying to get up.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, lisah and Bob!!!!
Near death? Nope. I did have cancer and the first few days were really scary. But, after I got informed about it, it was better. There were times I felt horrible, but I never thought I'd die.
Tonight, I'm going to see Seussical at the high school. Should be fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm very happy about that, Jesse.
The ER keeps telling me I've had near death experiences. Whatever.

Oh, man.
I just got up to the bit in Bureaucracy in February of 2003, just before the start of the war. Fuck. It's coming up on seven years March 20th. I used to protest annually on that date. Jaded.

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

Makes squinty eyes in ita's direction, just on general principle.
