Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

'Get It Done'


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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Also, it sounds like a weird notion, but can you afford to get a hotel room for yourself one of these nights? One with room service and a bathtub, so you can just hole up and have some space that's just yours?
This massively saved me one night when I just couldn't deal with coming home to a husband who'd announced he was leaving. It really just saved me even if I couldn't really technically afford it.

No, but I do have an offer of a carriage house or a third floor bedroom and bathroom (in the house that owns the carriage house) if I need it. I may take her up on it - she's not very far away. Only problem is, no internet access if you're not wireless, and I kind of need Teh Internets right now. I still may take her up on it.

Do whatever you can to break up the stuck-at-home-with-pain part of this. Go stay with friends. Get some exercise. Go see a movie. Go to a bar. Keep moving. A lot of what gets you through this part is what I call the Zombie Shuffle. You just keep moving forward any way that you can.

Got the number. I'm on my way home now, and will call as soon as I get there.

This, even without the Internets for maybe a night, is good. And it is just good to know you have a place to escape to, even if you don't use it.

My thoughts are so with you... This is hard.

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

Oh, that's great Juliana. A little drooling over the DB is more than enough to take the mind off of troubles, at least for a little while. I'm just glad to hear you won't be alone.

Always Anti-fascist!

Cass cracked me up.(I went to the Cronkite School too.) Feeling bad for Juliana.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Huge kisses and buckets of mac'n'cheese and all other comfort to you, juliana. I'm so sorry it's so hard, I'm so sorry he's not wise enough to see that you're worth fighting a thousand thousand dragons for, I'm sorry you're so far away. You'll be here for Thanksgiving, yes? You'll get kissed and hugged and massaged and cosseted up then, as much as you can stand and more.

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

She will be here, JZ.
