when there was a terrible accident

man, every time I log into the school’s computer and open Photoshop, I have to reset everything. It’s so annoying.

Barbies. Ha. I never played with Barbies in like, a normal way. For one thing, usually the Barbies were X-Men. There was a Rogue, a Wolverine, a Professor X, etc. My Barbies were constantly getting their hair chopped, dyed, their faces painted on, you name it. They got thrown around a lot, and if they weren’t pretending to be X-Men, they were just there to ride my Breyer horses.

Our favourite thing to do with the Barbies was to load them all up into two matching pink corvettes. We’d set one up at one end of the hall, and the other at the other end … and send them flying at each other. Then we’d see who survived the “terrible accident.”

The first time we did that was the best, I think we all died laughing. I mean, pee-in-your-pants kind of laughing. Rogue lost her head (permanently, we had to find a new Rogue), and Gambit lost both legs. We had a funeral for them, but we were all laughing so hard…
