Color me once, color me twice

When I was 18, I got into a fight with my boyfriend, one of those fights where I was entirely out of line. I left his apartment for a while and drove around our college town, trying to remember how you apologized to someone. I went to the grocery store and made my way to the bakery, picking out a cake with flowers on it, the kind you fight over with other kids at birthday parties when you’re little. I pointed it out to the woman behind the counter.

“Do you want to say something on it?” she asked.

“Yeah,” I replied. “Can you put ‘Sorry for being a cunt’ on it?”

“No, no, I cannot,” she huffed at me.

We were in a standoff. I can only imagine what she thought of a teenage girl putting such a word in buttercream icing. She stood strong and I didn’t back down. She called her manager over, a younger woman who started laughing when she heard what the problem was. She tried to convince her employee to write my message in buttercream and then she tried to compromise with me.

“Maybe ‘sorry for being a bitch’?” she said.

“No, it was worse than that, I was a total cunt,” I said.

“I won’t write bitch either,” said the employee, arms crossed.

Finally, the manager grabbed the icing herself and wrote my message on it. I paid for it and took it to my then boyfriend’s apartment. I knocked and held it out to him. He read it and read it again and looked from my face to the cake and back again a few times. I shrugged and he let me inside, setting the cake on the kitchen table. We sat and ate it together, forgetting why we had been so upset. He ate the part that said “cunt” on it and I got the flower.

I don’t remember how to make friends, if I ever did at all.

Caldwell IM’d me and said “I just posted the nerdiest thing ever.”  I’m trying to disagree with him… but I can’t.

“I believe in an idea…an Idea that a single individual who has a right heart and the right mind… that is consumed with a single purpose. That one man CAN win a war. Give that man a group of soldiers with the same conviction and you can change the world. You boys know where I can find some men like that?”

Captain America pump up speeches gives me fucking chills. I bet if he was a football coach, his half time speeches would be mind blowingly good. 

Secret Warriors ftw

Damn it. I have to reblog this page whenever I see it. One of my all-time favorite Cap moments, and definitely one of the best moments in Secret Warriors. Should I ever become President, Jonathan Hickman will write my speeches.

Oh god, I CAN’T WAIT ANY LONGER

CRAIG MOTHERFUCKING MULLINS. I’m buying this.

The boy was a huge X-Men fan, and Cyclops was his favorite. The scene originally called for Cyclops to look at the train schedule, but according to Bryan Singer the boy could not stop smiling at James Marsden. Finally, during one shot, Marsden just looked back at him and smiled, much to the boy’s delight. Bryan Singer liked the idea so much, he kept it in the film, and told the actress playing the boy’s mother to react the way she did.
