Also, Matilda is hysterically funny, but y'all knew that.
Am I not beautiful? I'm wearing my princess veil, and my princess crown, and my princess gloves, and my princess dress, and my princess shoes, and this is my princess knife!
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

javacat, are you looking for more NCIS fanfic recs? 'Cause I've got a funny one that I was avoiding because I just knew it wouldn't work, but it's terrific.
Forsooth, Good Gentles. Yes, NCIS goes RenFaire, and it's hilarious! Done by the same author who wrote my favorite Echoes of Goodbye. As a small sample:
"A RenFaire? You have a team waiting outside of a RenFaire?" Fornell was already picturing Gibbs sitting in a van, glaring at the participants.
It took all of his training to keep a straight face, but he was a Director, after all. "Not outside."
"Not outside? You mean... Gibbs in tights?"
Vance let the slightest smile break through. "The mind, it doth boggle."

The best part was that after calling her stick her "Princess knife" (or "sword") for hours, I said, as she was packing to leave, "Oh look, Matilda, here's your Princess knife, don't forget it!"
To which she looked up at me, grimaced and said, "that's a stick!!"

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Perhaps it's because of my focus, but exercise makes me cheerfully homicidal. Rah rah takes the cheer out of the equation.
Of course, I can barely take compliments too. They have to be absolute. Being better than you expected just makes me think you're a moron. And I don't want to be trained by a moron.
That having been said, I was a selectively rah rah instructor and improv critiquer-and got shit from people who thought everyone should be taught the same. So there's little winning to be had.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Matilda is the bestest.
Zen, yeah. Crossfit, from what I hear, is big into rah rah and nsm into creature comforts. Very bare bones and shit. That's why I told you to trust your body, Crossfit trainers only have to do a weekend's thingy to get certified.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, so I actually moved 8.5 months ago. But still! It seems like it's been about three weeks!

I knew it wasn't a year 'cause you and Steve moved about the same time. Dork.

More than 6 months = almost a year, in my head.
