juliana, could I tag this:
Lyra, tag away, sweetie.
Had never heard of the Nephilim before today....
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Trust my rage
There's a Madeleine L'Engle book that involves Nephilim. I really enjoyed it when I read it many years ago. Beyond that, for all my years of church and Sunday School attending, I've never discussed the nephilim before today.

I think an X-Files episode involved Niphilim, too. Another of those Scully as Defender of the Faith eps.

And I heard that to the tune of "They got the mustard out!"
They darned well better, considering you just bought it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The "the Bible isn't anti-gay" crowd will tell you that the sin of Sodom was their lack of hospitality... that the code of life in the desert was such that hospitality was essential for survival of the culture and once you offered someone shelter in your home their protection was even more important than the financial hit you would take if you couldn't marry off your daughters because they weren't virgins anymore (having been raped by an ugly mob and all).
Well, if you want to count Ezekiel as part of the "the Bible isn't anti-gay crowd," 'cause that's really exactly what he says. (Chapter 16)
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fulness of bread, and careless ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before Me; therefore I removed them when I saw it.
That's the interpretation I learned in Hebrew school, and the way it was presented in our Hebrew school textbooks. The word "sodomite" really confused me the first few times I heard it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yay, Aimee. What was wrong with it?
I tried to nap, and couldn't, because this apartment make different sounds than my old one.
Color me crankyish.

Flat tire on the way home. Bah. Changed (relatively) easily. Yay. Will need new tire tomorrow. Bah. Will not have scary tire blowout on the way to Cleveland this weekend. Yay.
People, I HIGHLY recommend that you buy and then keep in your trunk two things that you really need if you get a flat: WD-40 and a rubber mallet. They're inexpensive and they're the only way we got the tire off. The WD-40 got the lug nuts loose, and the mallet got the tire off.
Go, purchase them. If you have a flat some day, you will thank me.
Even with the WD-40, all the wrenching and yanking did a number on my shoulder. Bah. And now I'm missing a get-together-and-drink-at-a-dive-bar event I had been planning on going to, because I just don't want to drive on the donut. Bah.
But, all in all, it was easy to change and I didn't lose my shit, which I normally do in stressful situations. This "ther-a-peeee" and ADs must really be working. Huh.
