Annabel is actually saying words. She's just not saying them perfectly. That's beyond babble, Susan, and sounds fine for 17 month old.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

[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.

What is even happening?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Whoo hooo, Stephanie! That is just wonderful news.
Good news on the cash too, bug. What a sense of relief.
Dr.'s office called this morning. I've got an appointment on Saturday morning. It's step in the right direction.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yay, Stephanie!
Welcome, Shambles!
(Oh me? Been around here for years, on-and-off. Such a Buffista-in-waiting you can't even imagine: ex-librarian; rabid Buffy, Angel, Firefly, LoTR, TDS fan; philosophy post-graduate; webmistress; sci-fi-writer-wannabe; grammar nerd from hell; prone to depression and anxiety but living and loving life; purple-haired eldergoth -- LJ lurker too, but hey Jilli; generally pretty fucking awesome but definitely one of life's spectators.)
This is like How To Make a Buffista.
Just swinging by, ruthlessly skipping 1200 posts en route to shower just because I can't catch up, and don't want to be totally GreyGirl. My New School? Fabulous. Just fabulous. Crammed with North Americans too, but there's a decent smattering of Brits now. My job is great, with the whole being-in-lots-of-classes thing. The past few days I've been working with KG1 - I have no previous experience of working with the under-6 age range, and I found the prospect rather daunting (I mean, Jesus, they can't even read, never mind write stories or discuss politics, or play times table challenge...hell, two of them didn't even know what their names are, and several of them have no English) but I have to admit that they're very sweet, and that I've thoroughly enjoyed myself with the 4-year-olds. Bless.

Yay, Fay! Glad that you're enjoying the new place.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Great news about Joe rotating out! Huzzah!
Welcome, Shambles. You've definitely got a Buffistish CV.
Very exciting news about the Cash baby.

Our wings are not tired.
YaY Stephanie!!!
And YaY for Buffista baby girl! Brendon wanted a girl so much. I was thinking he has going to snatch baby Emma last spring. He figured he could take Joe, but he was in fear of Aimee.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I just keep remembering a few weeks ago, Fay, when you were making noises about being so desperate and worried that you were thinking of contacting Headmaster Asspants McBastard, and how we all screamed like banshees. I'm sitting here absolutely wriggling with delight at how well things are turning out, and relief that that asshole and his nightmarish dictatorship are now safely and forever and aye a part of the past.
And big huge huzzahs for Stephanie's Joe returning to his family!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Cool news, Fay. I'm glad you're enjoying the smogasboard experience.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Wait'll she learns to say, "What the hell were you thinking when you named me Apple?"
Trust me. Parents who name their children weird shit will NEVER get why their children are a wee bit miffed at them.
I swear, we need a support group.
