Mako's Message: So...how many of you are familiar with the phrase, "I reject your reality and substitute my own"?
I ask this because I was reading a review of Kick-Ass 3, issue 1, and it actually started to make me nauseous at how off canon I was. I think my body was literally rejecting reality in favor of my own. That can't be healthy...
I also have two bits of actual news for you all. I know, shocking, right?
The first is that Marx810 posted up a story that is an expansion of one of my PC spin off, Toxic. It's called Trip Like I Do and is very much worth your time.
The second is that you may have noticed some of the videos I've mentioned no longer exist. I'm currently working on remedying that(finally) and the first one is on YouTube under the title Dave Belongs To Mindy(watch?v=8D4rCqIe89I).
More after the chapter.
I don't know how I get myself into these things.
Actually, I know EXACTLY how I got into this.
It was Angela's fault.
Cheerleading practice was over, we were going through some cool down stretches and simple exercises, and then she just blurts out, "So what're you doing for your birthday?"
And everybody heard her.
So everyone starts gathering around wanting details, and someone says, "I didn't know your birthday was coming up, how old are you going to be anyway?"
And Angela decides to talk in my place and say, "She's going to be thirteen, finally. Feels like she's been 12 for a year and a half. It's about time she finally stopped being a preteen," and put an arm around me and tried to give me a noogie. That didn't end well for her. Nothing permanent, just a reminder not to treat me like a little kid.
Kay sunk her head into her hands and said, "I can't believe I've been getting shown up all year by a 12-year-old."
And the rest of the girls started asking me how I ended up in High-School at twelve. It was hard for them to believe I skipped a grade twice, but, there I was, so they had to. Then they started asking what I was doing for my birthday. I just wanted to go out to a movie with my four closest friend, but that wasn't good enough. They seemed to think that despite my age, as a "star cheerleader", I wasn't "allowed" to have a "lame" birthday.
I didn't even want to be on the fucking team!
I mean, sure, it has it's benefits. Guys seem to have a natural hard on for cheerleaders so the fact half the male population of this school ends up checking me out certainly helped Dave get through the rest of the school year after that stupid pedo rumor. And cheerleading does help justify my abilities, a little.
It's made Marcus happy. And I think it's made Angela and I closer.
I mean, we've been close for awhile, obviously, but now we have something we can talk about like Dave and I talk about crimefighting.
Even if our interest in it are complete opposites.
So now the team is planning this big party for me and I'm pretty sure it stopped being about me about ten minutes into the planning and just became an excuse for a party.
I just want time to hurry up so Dave can get off work and we can go out. I really, really want to stomp someone into the ground right now.
More Message: Usually I do teasers about now...but I hadn't because I didn't really think I had anything good to give you...but I think I came up with a couple.
"I'm not going to fight you, I have minions for that."
"Oh no. No. NO. Just...no!"
"And I must have looked disgusted because she asked, 'Sorry, was that too much information?'"
"I'm doomed."
