Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

[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.

Hey. New board.

I agree with Andi. I stand behind Mature!Dawn as a character filled with possibility!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Sometimes I just hate having friends. It's so damn hard. I asked how my friend had handled a situation, in a roundabout way, in front of her (granted, student and underclassman) boss in our mutual class today, because we don't talk enough that I know what's going on with her; and after class she said, "Never do that to me in front of my boss again. He doesn't know what's going on, and it puts me and my job in a bad position."

Which, granted, I could have picked a better time to ask her about it--but I was only asking out of concern, and it wasn't in any way phrased so that it would reference her job, and it's not like I see her more than in class anyway, so I wouldn't have had a chance to ask her.

But I sent her an email asking that, should we get into a conversation like that again, she not order me to do something; she ask. To which she replied, "I hope we never get in a conversation like that again."

Okay, I realize the mundanity of this and that I'm making something of a bigger deal than it really is. But would it have killed her to at least acknowledge that that bothered me? Instead of throwing thinly veiled blame at me again? jesus. I might just become a hermit. Honestly.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sounds annoying, SA. She's not the boss of you.

I really dislike handling mail.

Thrive to spite them

I'm sorry SA.

Thanks to the patented Buffista~ma my day at workdidn't suck more than it had to. I avoided a meeting!

howver, I got to Mom's to discover I taped the wrong channel for hockey AND managed to cut off the part of the USA game.

Instead of a tape full of hockey! I had a tape full of CNBC. Hockey was on MSNBC. But tomorrow I'm going to get it right. I wish I had tivo because trying to tape around games showed right in a row really hard. Thank god it's all live and they list the exact times the games are on.

I can't wait for it to be Friday.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

OMG! I totally forgot to tell you guys what happened at my great-grandmother's funeral luncheon! (I think) Nora, I can't WAIT for you to go off on this.

My Eldest Uncle, said, to my sister, in front of about 15 relatives, and I quote -

"Yeah, she smokes. And she wonders why she doesn't have a job OR a man!"

I think they're just all stunned.
