Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[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.

Boy wrote back, said I was a "looker." Heh. We'll be in the same city at the same time in about six weeks. This bodes well. Worried for nothing!

Yay! Go you! Heck, go him!

I usually make my next appointment the same day

I've started trying to do this too, at the doctor's--I know that if I find a conflict, I'll call and change it, but if I don't have an appointment, I may never call and set one up.

I just heard from my folks that my sister-in-law's sister's 4-month old baby boy just died today

Oh my god, Lisa, that's so awful. Those poor people.

Punishingly Intricate

thanks for all your condolences.

The parents are in Florida so my sister-in-law and the rest of her family (all in NC) are headed down there this week. My mom's flying down to NC to help my brother with his kids. I at least got to buy my mom's ticket. It's good to be able to do one concrete if very small thing.

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 so sorry, lisah. That's just awful.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm so sorry Lisa. What a nightmare. Much strength and peace to your family.

CJ is so cute!

Lisah, that is just too terrible to believe. I'm so sorry.
