ita, I'm with you. I know some shameless mofos in all walks of life.
Thing is, the po' folk rarely have the power to do mass damage with their shamelessness. When you add money and power to the privilege and lack of shame, it gets awfully ugly.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

[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.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It is true. It's easier to get away with stuff when you're richer than God. But I don't think it makes you a worse person.

Oh, I wasn't making the value judgement. Just the fact that shameless with money and a gun is faster-acting than shameless with nothing but 'tude.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Yay for new apts.
And laughing madly at baby peeing...

Mostly lurking...
Yay for sj apartment! Boo for the accident and long day. I hope you're sleeping well.
Um...I had more stuff. Um...I should take better notes. Oh, yeah! I LOVE Jessica's new haircut. And I promise I'll post pictures of mine today. It's even on my to-do list.
Timelies!
I want to still be asleep. My body has different plans...and has had those plans for several hours. Grrrrr...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
The great thing about baby-peeing stories? Embarassing a petulant teenager in front of their friends a decade-plus later. At least that's why I think parents do that, to get a little of their own back.
Sits vw's body down next to my cat, for a little talk about the value of sleep.

Trust my rage
I think dogs are great practice for all the pooing and peeing. In the 4 years we've had our two, I've been pee'd on twice and cleaned up more puke and poop than I can remember. At least the baby stuff should be smaller in quantity.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Not always.
The boy and I both slept over 10 hours last night--uninterrupted. This is heavenly.

move out and draw fire
sj has a place to live! This is good. Aimee has found time to shave and pluck and color! This is also good. Cashmere has gotten some sleep, and Jessica and vw have new haircuts, and wow, much good happening here.
The British Royal Family needs to hire some new handlers for P. Harry. Ones with no necks and less conversation. That boy's going to officer school soon, and needs a swift kick in the ass.
In other news, CNN International just introduced their programming by saying "Southeast Asian tsunamis and California mudslides - is the world's weather changing?" I didn't know tectonic activity was "weather" (although I understand the rain in CA is related to the ocean in SE Asia).

Thrive to spite them
Jessica-- I love your new cut.
Work is going to be weird for awhile. We had someone who went on an internship from late spring until now, cool co worker was taking her place but as his responsiblities changed I was given more and more to do. Now that she's back I think I'm going to have to give up some of the things I did. And I don't want to. She wants to talk to our supervisor so we can get a clear idea of who has responsibility for what.
