'The Message'


Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[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 look more rad than Lutheranism

Honey, you're already in AZ....

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Right now I just don't know what to do. I've somehow got to get back to a functional equilibrium so I can do the stuff I need to do. Maybe I need to leave the group for awhile--and believe me, I don't mean that in a huffy tone of, "Fine, I'll just take my toys and go home." It's just--I'm bawling my eyes out here, and I've put myself in a position where there is literally no one I can pick up the phone and call and say, "Look, I need a little help here so I can calm down and get back to my life," without it being awkward and weird, because I'm become so dependent on online community that it's all I have.

In a few hours I'll come down and apologies will be dispensed. But right now I'm too angry and sleep-deprived.

I don't think that apologizing when it's convenient for you is much of an apology.

Kudos for supportive husbands, not-so-kudos for expressiveness.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I also agree.

Always Anti-fascist!

In a weird sort of way, I'd be over it faster if Dylan had just e-mailed me "Go to hell you cripple fuckhead." Then I could just e-mail back "I'd rather not. Thanks for thinking of me...I was actually trying to be *delicate* actually...guess it didn't take. Drinks on me at f2f?" And then, we'd be okay. Maybe. Next time, just say "Fuck you." I'll say "God, no," and we can all laugh cause the crip lady made a sex joke and get on with it. :) I honestly thought that everyone was fairly careful yesterday, for the most part, and I'm not just shielding myself...I don't think. You don't want to know me not being polite, then.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

So, is this the time to say that my work related issues are finally moving along? They fixed the servers so now I'm only a week behind instead of a month behind. WOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!!!

Ducks back out carefully....

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

Thirded.

I also agree with Betsy and Erika.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Suzi, I'm so sorry you're in the middle of such a shit-blizzard right now. During the worst of my divorce when bad thing seemed to pile on bad thing my motto was, "I'm just going to be Buster Keaton in a Fellini movie." Just deadpan my way through the bizarreness with as much grace as I could muster.

Do we get Emmett pictures?

I did a preview picture of Emmett when I got his costume together.

Awww, Dylan, it's so much better to walk away before you hit post sometimes. Particularly when you're angry enough to tell people to burn in hell.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I don't think that apologizing when it's convenient for you is much of an apology.

I agree that it doesn't end the matter. But, in light of Susan's long standing as a Buffista, may I suggest that it's enough to give him time to follow through and apologize when he isn't spitting it out through anger?

(And by bringing up Susan's long standing, I'm suggesting that we know these aren't trolls here.)
