Eeling through the crowd, humming the Mission Impossible theme to yourself, homing in on target, acquiring the package, negotiating the exfil, clean getaway.
I may be reading too much SHIELD spy fic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, kind of like that!
One year, I went to the (a) Toys R Us (b) in Times Square (c) late afternoon (d) on the Saturday before Christmas. Have there ever been more screaming children in one place? Doubtful.

And you're not allowed to lob tear gas into the crowd. (see previous note about spy fic)

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

My Mom just told me I'm not supposed to talk tomorrow about my nephew’s visit to the psychiatric ward, which I didn’t know about, because nobody has talked to me about it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
because as your family already knows, not talking about things is so healthy. I LOVE YOU SCOLA, YOU CAN COME TO MY HOUSE FOR ANY AND ALL HOLIDAYS.

Last year, somebody did use tear gas at a Black Friday sale. It went over about as well as you'd think.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Have there ever been more screaming children in one place? Doubtful.
Eat at a Chuck E. Cheese's to compare for certain. I maintain that instead of Cerberus the gates of Hell are guarded by a big gray mouse.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Chanukah started! Happy Chanukah! (We haven't actually done anything for Chanukah yet. My sister is out getting the turkey for tomorrow, my mom's taking a nap, and my dad isn't home from work yet. But the sun set, so that means it's Chanukah now.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Happy Chanukah, Hil! Still about half an hour to go here...
