Plus, she was a nineties kid, and to say that she never liked nor watched Ninja Turtles when she was younger would have been a lie.
Making her way out of the bathroom, the girl returned to her work at the desk. Her mother had left her with some book assignments that day, and she’d just been stapling the four-or-so sheets of scribbled-on notebook paper together when she’d zoned out and stapled her own finger. She sat at the table, examining the things laid out over it; book, notebook, pencil, stapler, stapler, glass of half-empty orange juice. Frowning, she mentally corrected herself: half-full.
Reaching for the stapler again, hoping not to have a repeat performance, she gathered her papers up and prepared to staple them again. A small case of paranoia was beginning to envelope her as she got ready to press down on the head of the stapler, stopping the process entirely. She sighed, annoyed at her own silly fears of stapling her fingers twice in the same day.
She’d always done this. She’d done this with everything. Her fear of hurt, of pain, had kept her from so many things, and it made her feel like a coward at the end of the day. And, maybe she was. But it wasn’t something that Spencer wanted to be, and it certainly wasn’t something that she wanted to be remembered as being. What was the problem, anyway? It was only a stapler.
She frowned, resting her elbows on the surface in front of her and holding her head in her hands. It wasn’t just the physical aspect of pain that kept her from the things she wanted, or needed, to do. In fact, fear of emotional pain was even worse, and kept her from even more things. She knew what it was like to be ‘the outcast’. She hardly had any friends worth mentioning – her family, who was, well, family, didn’t really count. There was Chelsea, but she was practically family anyway. Because she didn’t go to a school and was merely home-schooled, she’d only met people through her brothers, who had dared to venture outside the home for their own educations and social lives. Aiden and Glen had been basketball buddies, making Aiden Spencer’s first boyfriend since Ohio. There, any boyfriends she’d had were few and far apart. And now, here she was – dateless, friendless, and too scared to do anything about it.

Damn, that was a trip down memory lane! I had all the Ninja Turtle action figures…they played with my barbies. Love the fic, keep up the good work!Oh, and Ashley’s right, Michaelangelo is the best TMNT.
I am usually a silent reader but I felt compeled to say that the best ninja turtle was neither Michelangelo nor Rapheal, Leonardo was the best. Well I think Spencer should come clean before it all blows up in her face. Or better yet it will blow up in her face and then she will be left to try and explain. Well even though I may not say it after each update I love your story and the secret lives of office supplies.
ooh oooh ooooooh number exchange! And yes, we’re still in the fallout shelter. We have pringles and coke now. Both real and coke zero for those people who worry about their weight in the post apocalyptic era. I can tell the explosion is going to be huge. Oh deary me. Oh well, I have buffy reruns in here, I’m sweet. Waiting for you to join, but you have to bring the stapler. And the paper clip. I loved the paperclip! I LOVED THE UPDATE! I might, in fact, love you :)
YAY! Shout outs for me and everyone else! What a great way to start an update. Btw, it was a really great one. And all those toys you mentioned? Awesome, I was never into MTNT but I liked Barbies and Lite-Brites and My Little Pony and…that over stuff. Wicked. Keep posting, I like this story ‘cos you get your inspiration from real life. :] Pms please. Love xoxo.

i thought lite brights went out of popularity in the 80’s. i still have my easy bake oven…i think it was one of the first one’s ever made. i’m trying to figure out what to do with it, since they probably don’t even make the right light bulbs for it anymore and i doubt my future little boy will want to use it. any suggestions? so i’m like 170 years old and i collected smurf figures. (just felt like i was at an AA meeting or something) this story is sooo much fun…but darn i wish spencer would tell ashley the truth. ack. it’s going to get messy…too messy for ninja turtle band aids i think.

I’m with Pegleg, yo. This brought be back to my days of old school Star Wars action figures (my sister had the Milenium Falcon – I was SO jealous) and Garbage Pail Kids cards. I admit, however, I totally had My Little Pony toys, but I wasn’t a huge fan. I only had them in Preschool. What I really wanted, though, was a Lite Brite. We only had one in my Preschool and all the boys would take it over for ALL of playtime. I was too shy so I never got a go at it. I still regret my inaction to this very day. :) And no way in hell would my parents EVER give me an Easy-Bake or anything else food related. My best friend had a Snoopy Cone machine and that rocked, though. She also had Hungry Hungry Hippos, which was the bomb, and Crossfire! which sucked ass.

Ah the 90s, ninja turtles and light-brites–I loved ’em. Thanks for the flashback. And thanks for another bang-up post. I agree with the others, this is going to fall apart in front of Spencer’s face. But in the meantime, I’m just going to enjoy the ride.

i can’t believe ashley thought that lite brite sounded stupid! wow, i loved mine, she’s crazy. spencer better watch herself! she’s being pretty bold, and all of this is bound to get her in trouble one way or another…

Man, that fic brought me back! I still have all my old G.I. Joe’s and Garbage Pail Kids. Never had an Easy-Bake, though, but I did have a Snoopy Sno-Cone machine. Oh…and love this fic! I hate that Spencer is lying about things. Cause they snowball…baaadly. And soon she will find herself unable to lie anymore and it’s going to hurt everyone involved. Love your dialogue. Rings so true and flows nicely.:)

oh man i agree with pegleg and goober. i can still remember the theme song to teenage mutant ninja turtle! ;) i cant remember all of them i can only recall leonardo. hmm. but i never had any barbies cos my mom said it’s evil. muahahaah. but i wouldnt know what to do with them either. brush their hair and change clothes? puhleez. anyway i love love love this fic. it was funny how the stapler got grounded inside the drawer. the inanimate objects story is such an important part of your fic which makes it so different and unique. i also love how you describe spencer and her fear of emotional pain. your version of spencer is so vulnerable and lovable, one of the best around.:)
