I think Tep can be a real hottie. Now, that doesn't mean you didn't(maybe) have an ugly day today, but that doesn't make you hideous or anything. Those pretty actresses get retouched a lot, you know.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

[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 will remain a Steph fan even if Steph gets off the Steph bandwagon.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Tep, I was actually thinking about posting a similar rant here today.
It's not body-issue related, but what's it going to take for me to stop hating myself? I've been in therapy for five years and I'm stumped. The harder I try, the harder the demons push back.

I'm sorry. I can say that as somebody who totally knows what that is like. Have you been speaking Latin in front of the books again?

If I only had a brain...
Speaking only for myself, practice. I don't shoot for not hating myself ever; I'm aiming for (and have largely achieved) not hating myself mostly. Sometimes I look in the mirror and think "I hate myself", just like anybody else. When that happens, I try to remember HALT -- Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired, adding in my personal favorites, Premenstrual (probably not your problem) and Migrainy. It isn't that I don't have the feeling -- it's that now I can argue with it. I can say "No, I don't really hate myself, I just need to take a nap/take a migraine drug/get out of the house".

I look more rad than Lutheranism
what's it going to take for me to stop hating myself?
Oh, honey. I'm with you.

I have self self-hatred issues too. I feel like I'm fucked up my marriage, my house is a mess, my finances are a mess (they are getting better though, so less of an issue), I'm overweight, etc...
Ok, now I'm bummed.

Our wings are not tired.

Except for the whole avoiding mirrors like the plague part, I'm there with you too. Most everyone I know has these days, and the rest probably just don't admit to them.
Can't do anything to keep any of you from (undeservedly) hating yourselves, but I'll love you anyway.

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

Yup, this.

Just a drive by to say lunch at Chez Panisse was a two hour culinary orgasmic affair.
Now I have to get 2 hours worth of work done in the next 15 minutes and then fly outta here for my iron thing. Oh boy.
