Hot weather makes people feel antsy?
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

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

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Plus, who wants to start a revolution when it's cold out? All that marching and shit? Not on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hell, you can barely get people to show up for the revolution planning meetings in winter!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Why are all these countries' independence days in the middle of summer? That's weird.
This is actually our Dependence Day. The First Fleet arrived in Sydney Cove on Australia Day, so it's the day we became a British colony. (More precisely, it's the day members of the First Fleet landed in Sydney Cove, and if you're not familiar with it, you should really seek out John H's description of the whole affair in COMM.)
Australia's federation occurred on January 1, 1901. That's really closer to being an independence day for us, but since we already get the day off for New Years, not many true blue fair dinkum dinky di Aussies would favour using that instead. It's a question of priorities, and that priority is to stuff the year with as many opportunities for a piss-up as is humanly possible.
So, in conclusion, let me just say preferential voting, no serial comma and beeeeeeeeer.

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

My cousin just sent me pictures of his new baby boy, who wasn't expected for two weeks, but didn't send any details like what his name is! I wanna know!
And, wow, does New Baby Cousin look pissed to be out of the womb.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Would someone remind me that I have better things to do than pick on anti-tax, anti-school morons on my local newspaper's website?
They're really stupid, so it's sort of an uneven fight. Plus, I need to get to the gym.

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?

You've done your part. That letter was awesome. Go work off the annoyance at the gym.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Your letter was awesome Cash. Go punch something at the gym and think of the asshats who fail to realize that your average daycare provider (who needs no education) makes more money perhour that your average teacher (who has to have at the very least a Bachelors degree and continuing ed for the rest of their career).

Link to the letter, Cash?
I think I need to reorganize my clothes storage. What do people do to store their jeans (as opposed to business trousers -- those get hung up) -- do you put them in drawers, on shelves, or hang them up too?
