I hadn't gotten to the end of the shrines. I should note for the record that Kurt and Courtney have many young fans, and so does Florence Welch.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It worries me sometimes that I've trained myself out of any instinct to flinch when someone swings a sword at my head. And then I remember that nobody is actually going to do that.
Flying projectiles, though, scary

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't flinch anywhere near enough. It definitely bothers me. I'm an idiot.

I tried to get into SCA heavy combat, but I froze at the first sword blow towards my head. Hubby was just thrilled that I gave it a shot and said normal people always react poorly to things being swung at their heads. I got through enough to qualify for light combat, ie, combat archery, where we shot golf tubes with tennis balls taped to the end at each other. I never objected to that, and for a while I was the terror of the battlefield with a bow. Good times.

I don't duck, I turn towards gunshots, I step forward when I should step back--I'd make the shortest lived action hero ever.

I am having chocolate bacon cookies. I was supposed to be saving them for breakfast, but I got distracted. Please let me stop at three...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
And I thought I was decadent with my honeycomb on saltines.

My dinner was a piece of toast with peanut butter, and a bunch of cookies with milk.
Some days, one just has to be twelve.

Chocolate bacon cookies? Oooh.
Though the cupcake place did start selling cake pops, and I had one of each (a cupcake and a cake pop) today. And they were nom.
I was always very bad at baseball/softball as a kid--I think that it stemmed from several years where my eyesight was not great, but no one realized it yet, and then a lack of hand-eye coordination stemming from some of that for a few years. By that point I was just flinchy every time anything came near me. I completely shocked myself at one point shortly after college when a friend tossed her keys and I reached up and grabbed them out of the air! (They were being tossed over my head to a friend behind me).
