    Despite what some think, over-sensitivity is a weakness. Though, the same goes for being overly calloused. Neither is correct. There is a balance, and everyone must find it. Otherwise, you’re settling for imperfection, which is no good. No one wants to live in an overly imperfect world.

    The thing under my bed waiting to grab my ankle isn’t real. I know that, and I also know that if I’m careful to keep my foot under the covers, it will never be able to grab my ankle

    Was reading…

    Fear Itself by Michael Reaves and Steven-Elliot Altman when I came across a passage where Bruce was attending his own Masquerade Party as Zorro. He then went on to describe how the Zorro costume made him want to swagger. I got a pretty good laugh out of it, and thought I’d share it. 

    Five minutes later Bruce started for the entrance hall. He was resisting the urge to swagger; there was something about the Zorro costume that was swagger-inducing. Odd, really. It was just a mask and a cape, after all; not so different from the cowl and cloak he wore nearly every night. And yet his “work clothes” inspired no desire to swagger. 

    Must be the sleeves, he thought.
