OK. So I'll put this in the "go to the doctor if it doesn't go away, but ignore it for now" category. Which is good, because I don't think I have any time to go to a doctor before Thursday anyway.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Today I have 100 pages to read in the most depressing book ever.
My vote for that honor is McTeague, followed by Ethan Frome.
I saw a television show with a segment about crows. They showed a parking lot where motorcycles frequently parked. The crows had discovered that there was often food in the motorcycle saddlebags and they were opening them and checking for food. It was amazing.
Hil, I've had that happen just from allergies. I've had a couple of eye infections and with those the eye was painful and sensitive to light.

McTeague ends with the protagonist handcuffed to a dead man in the middle of Death Valley. (Spoiler fonted in case anyone takes leave of his or her senses and decides to read McTeague.)
I've found that hard to top in the depressing category.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Timelies.
...okay, that's pretty much all I've got to say.
Good luck with the depressing reading, vw.
Jessica's new apartment is cute.
Yeah, that's it.

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.
2. I used to be cool. But you SUCKED it all out of me.This, of course, is the appropriate response, 10-12 years in the future when they start complaining, "Why can't I have cool parents?"

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

What is even happening?

This, of course, is the appropriate response, 10-12 years in the future when they start complaining, "Why can't I have cool parents?"Yes, and with a little tweaking, it's useful a good five years before that, in many situations. Examples:
Why don't we ever have any money?
We used to have money, but we spent it all on you.
Why do you like to sleep so much?
We used to have energy, but you SUCKED it all out of us.
beathen, all the best to you in your job hunt. I hope you find something so great, you'll wish you left current-job long before.
