This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Deena is me. I'm about to go to sleep, but hey, I'm there for you, Cass. Tomorrow. Yeah, that's right. Tomorrow. Or maybe Tuesday.

Seriously, I too have been there. Even though the divorce was certainly not my idea, within a few years I came to realize that I was better off. That does not mean I didn't spend many hours as a sodden lump on the bed.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Gronk.

Made it my first week.

34 hours on the clock.

I think I can make it the whole 40 next week, easy.

Still looking for permanent job, or on to start when this one ends (or sooner if fiscally advantagous) in 6-8 weeks.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Damn I love the Bitches. I just do.

Thank you all. Even those of you who chose lives and sleep over comforting me tonight.

I am going to try and get some sleep myself now. If that Insomnia Bitch shows up, Ima flay her. Really not the night to mess with me. (Does anyone have ita on speed dial if it turns out that the Insomnia Bitch has skillz beyond the keeping me awake for ages?)

Go you, dcj...

Yay on the washer working! And the pizza cause I am hungry. And the vodka cause, well, vodka. I think I will rewatch good tv too. Boooo on sick DH... Healthy thoughts winging eastward.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

{{{Cass}}} Restful sleep-ma to you.

And in my first world problem of the night, I'm wrestling with a pesky transition scene, wherein characters who are barely acquainted realize they're headed in the same direction and might as well walk together as not. Which leads to conversation, and banter, and chemistry if I'm doing this right. And I've written the banter, and I think it's decent. Shows that the characters fell deeply in like at first sight, yet with hints of conflict. But I'm on my fifth try at actually getting them out the door and headed in the same direction.

But describing it makes me realize I've overcomplicated the thing, when all that really needs to happen is the simple realization they're going the same place....off to try again....

I can't even.

And in other insomnia news, even having guests doesn't help, as they eventually wear out and want to sleep. Weaklings, feh!

Cass, you know how to reach me. Anytime, dear one. Venting pain is of the good.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Cass, we're here. And I've done the fugue state, back with the worst breakup of my life in 1976. The things that would have been easier than that are beyond telling. I'm so sorry. This stuff bites.

Must to catboxes go a-cleaning, and then into bed a-falling, or some damned thing.

Or not.
