Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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'm getting the pig!

Ugh, vw. Pain of any variety is of the suck and that much pain is just disgustingly wrong. It needs to stop and I'm so sorry you're dealing with so much of it.

Am I bad to admit I want Eminem on my iPod?

Hell no, bitch! /rapper love

Ahem... I mean, I have Eminem on my Shuffle...

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Perkins, I'm so tired, it took me a minute to parse that but YAY!!!!!

In C related news, while she has yet to show any geniune regret for the lies and lack of respect, yesterday she at least thanked my mom for all she has done for her.

I don't know when I'll see C again. She won't be back at the house to pack out until the weekend and I'm gone until Tuesday. I feel like an evil, cold-hearted woman cause I have had to block my feelings for her.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Not evil. Self preservation is never evil.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Your feelings aren't evil. You are justifiably hurt and upset. As an adult who realizes that C has had YEARS of bad parenting and so can't recognize good parenting right now and doesn't have the tools to face responsibility, you can't express those feelings, but the feelings are perfectly healthy. I hope you can support C from the outside in the future if it comes up--she desperately needs a stabilizing force in her life, even though she doesn't know it. And even if you never see her again, what you have given her so far is invaluable.

Gah, C's dad just called to get the bf's phone numbers. Yes, dad knows all, including the situation that sparked this (no, I'm not going into details on that).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

no, I'm not going into details on that

Uh, teenage girl lying and sneaking around? I just presumed it was boyfriend related since C didn't seem like a drug user.

Well, drugs were not at issue this time David, but she has in the past.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Last night I saw an australian movie called littlefish with a marvelous cast. Anyone else seen it?

I really should have, it got rave reviews over here. I've added it to my Quickflix list.

Sloth, thy name is Teppy.

Such a cool animal!

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

Sympathy for your situation continues from this quarter, MG. I'm really sorry that you not only had to go through all this, but especially that you might not get to see C crawl back out of the hole she is digging for herself. At least you know you've shown her where there are ladders.

Congrats, Nora!

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

MG, I will send what I have tonight. You got the PR stuff, right?
