Good for you for not freaking out. I know I would have.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

[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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Damn, Betsy. I managed to miss reading about your work sitch earlier - that's shitty. (And I know from shitty. My cat - well, last night involved more shit than I normally like to encounter as I'm trying to get to sleep.)
Gud, I hope things calm down for you at home, love.
fwiw, I think Threads of Life is using an overworn image. Missed Connections is fresher and more evocative. imho.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
vw, most of your pieces sound like they're about the hellish parts of life AND coming through them stronger, which is making me think of a title like "Baptism By Fire" (which is a bit melodramatic), or -- oh! I know it's stealing from a comic book, but "Phoenix Rising"!!!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Steph, your BigBoss sounds like a good guy. I do hope he's recovering nicely. And I hope he loves his Flesh Eating Bacteria stuffed microbe. Sounds like he has a good sense of humor about this and it taking it in stride.
We're so behind. I have a new haircut and we're all fed but time to finish the last of the packing and get our assess on the road.
I get to spend time with erika on Sunday! Wheeeeee! /taunty pants

/taunty pantsI read this as taunty parts. It works either way.

If I only had a brain...
Apparently we will get time-and-a-half after all.
Still hate it.

yellowjackets?
As in "yellow jackets, eek!" or "what are these yellow jackets of which you speak?"
Good for you for not freaking out. I know I would have.
Oh, I freaked out on the inside (as my bp revealed), and let enough of my true feelings show through in the form of words I'd rather Annabel not pick up. Knowing my luck, her first reallyo trulyo unmistakable word used properly in context will be "fuck!" or "dammit!"

See, I tend towards something more understated, myself. Slightly soiled, for example, or Hiding the cracks, or Mixed blessings, or Undercurrents, or, oh, I don't know. Something a bit broken and less inspirational.
YMMV.

yellowjackets, eek.
yeah, the bp is not a great thing, but good you were able to keep it together in front of Annabelle. But try not to drop dead internalizing too much!
