Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[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’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Oh, no, Tep. I'm sorry. Are you OK?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh, no, Tep. I'm sorry. Are you OK?

I'm stressed, trying not to cry at work, and just wanting to run and hide.

Instead, I have to go volunteer at this charity thing that one of my friends *begged* me to volunteer at -- it's only 6-8, and I'm working the silent auction table, which means I basically answer questions like "Yes, you write your name where it says NAME."

But I just want to....hell, I don't even know what I want.

If I only had a brain...

Steph?

This is a geniuine excuse. "I'm sorry, Sophia, my father is hospitalized and I can't make it." You have every right to say that.

Absolutely. I hope everything works out well for your dad, Steph.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What Betsy said, Steph.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Yep.

And if she pitches a fuss, kill her.

But -- it's not like I'm going to be *at* the hospital, or anything. If I weren't at the charity even, I'd probably be in a fetal position under all the covers.

You have every right to do that. Or to go home and take a hot bath, or a naked movie, or whatever. Don't force yourself to perform.
