You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I did Space Mountain when I was around 20 and confirmed that I don't like coasters. It didn't make me sick, it was just the opposite of fun. I think I'm allergic to adrenaline.

I am absolutely like Strega in this. I don't even like movies that make me feel adrenaline-y. It makes me want to get up and leave the theater. Suffice it to say I am not a fan of roller coasters.

The laptop I was about to send an APB at school on was found in the wrong slot. WOOT WOOT! One of my students didn't steal it after all. I should do a better job in signing them out. But they are also crappy 4-year-old HP laptops often with missing keys. Who would want them?

OH! Noah is 9 and Grace is in top 20. That makes me smile. I don't know many other baby Noahs or Graces. I'm sure school will change that.

Grrr.. Tom, I'm sorry. No one should be subjected to tea cup tragedy.

When did this definition take hold?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

At the time, I didn't realize that day would be a portent for how the rest of my childhood would turn out.

I would like to go back in time and beat the snot out of your father, Tom.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, it's not so much "definition has taken hold" as "the liberals like it, so how can we make it sound satanic?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would like to go back in time and beat the snot out of your father, Tom.

Indeed.

Sorry Tom, that sounds awful.

Four legsDriving rides good. Spinny rides bad.

Although I'm fine with Scramblers. But they aren't as spinny as they look.

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

Good god, Tom, that's cruel.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Did he tell you that it didn't REALLY hurt, and/or that you had a good time?
