Cass, I'm so sorry your PADI stuff got lost in the mail. I'm still hoping it'll bubble out of the system either at your end or mine. I feel bad, because you were being so kind. t /left field

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yippiekyo Daniel! Congrats to MG too.
Seriously seconding the "books on tape are your friend" comment. I loves me some library audiobooks. Also? Some libraries now offer downloadable audiobooks. No tripping to the actual branch (with mad respect to library branches, of course) when it isn't convenient.

Mostly lurking...
Go, MG!
Yay, Daniel!
I have napped and feel a little more human.

Oh yeah, I like listening to audiobooks. I have a MP3 player in my car, so I can rip all the CDs and put the whole book on one MP3 CD instead. It's nice.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Always Anti-fascist!
My father is a petty jerk who married The Worst Woman In The World.(that is not actually Condi Rice or Ann Coulter, at least) I have every faith, Gud, that you will not do this.

Can I please state for the official record - esp to my entire family both original and acquired - That I do not function well if I wake up before 7am. I never have. I do not get mad that you are awake and fully functioning. In fact, I am vaguely envious. So please learn that short, terse sentences do not mean I am grumpy , or cranky, or mad. It is just all I can manage. And yes, sometimes I am ok by 8. But not always.
end trans.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Thanks all.
vw - glad you are feeling better.
Congrats Daniel.
While not aimed at me, I'm listening/reading all the divorce advice and am filing it away for another day.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm very sorry, Gud.
Gud-- I can only echo everyone's advice. It mnay be hard to believe now, but there is a better life waiting for you. The weight of constantly failing someone's expectations is heavier than you will ever know while you are living under it, and once the painful process of getting free of it is over you WILL feel better.
And this.
Fuck. I'm actually really REALLY worried.
And now I'm concerned for Steph too.
She went on and on about how often I see the "shrink" then told me that my cough was all in my head. Apparently, I can psychologically decide to turn it off.
Ugh. Saints preserve us from doctors with an agenda.
I just got a phone call. I've got a job with the company I interviewed with twice. It's $8K/year more than the last place that I worked, but it does involve an hour drive each way. Office casual, so I have to wear my nicer clothes.
Excellent news!
Huh. Pamela Anderson is talking on my radio. What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
