Heh. Betcha they couldn't tell ya there were too many of those.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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 wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Happy Birthday, Drew!
How scary, Nora. I am so glad it didn't turn out worse.
I bitched in LJ and just cannot type it out again but I was joking a couple weeks ago when I said I wanted to neicenap this trip cause I finally would get to see and talk to her. Turns out? She is so completely miserable that my heart is broken and all I want to do is get her away. I am just devestated after talking with her today.
After she got sent off to Vermont where her communications are, let's say, extremely limited - my worst nightmares were not as bad as this. I am hoping that my brother and sister-in-law rot in hell right now.
I wish there was just anything I could do.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ah, damn, Cass. That sucks so very much. Feeling hopeless in the face of others' idiocy and badness is the worst feeling.

I saw your post, Cass. I'm so sorry. I know people who know people...maybe we can bust her out. How old is she?
I am off to fix one part of my stupid no-good messed-up very bad yesterday and get some cat litter. I have no idea what happened to the cat litter, but after I'd emptied the cat box and cleaned it (a Sunday project), I grabbed the litter bag stored behind it to discover it was empty. It wasn't empty last Sunday - I had a full box's worth left. And why would someone empty it and leave the bag?
It's a mystery, but more annoying was the thought of living without litter all Sunday....it's the small stuff that really gets under my skin.

It really is.
I just want there to be some light at the end of this. But I don't see it right now. I just don't. That kills me.
I even microwaved Peeps today. And it didn't help. I did take pictures though. Because it was microwaved Peeps, for god's sake.
It would be bad to steal my dad's car, drive to Orange County, nap the neice and then drive to Portland, right? Maybe not Portland. They could find me there. But someone would shelter us, I think. It could be the Buffista Underground Railroad. With lawyers and stuff to keep me out of jail and on the lam. Actually, I can't steal the car, I had a glass and a half of wine and that would be a bad example to set. Damn. My perfect plan is not perfect.

I know people who know people...maybe we can bust her out. How old is she?She's 16 and I love Greece (though, honestly, I wasn't enthralled with Athens past the ruins but it does have its charms. And ruins. I adored those.). Got a couch?
And running out of cat litter? Sucks worse than the hot water suddenly disappearing when you had a head full of shampoo suds and soap in your eyes.

Totally.

Same here. The islands aren't a bad place to disappear to, and I'm sure I could find a Greek granny who would not only protect her from the kamaki here but would teach her parents a thing or two about life.

My highschool's approach to Career Advice:
Career Advisor: What do you want to be, then?
Me: A writer!
Career Advisor: Hmm...how about a secretary, dear?
Me: .....?
WRT choosing one's further education stuff:
Career Advisor: What do you want to study?
Me: Mythology!
Career Advisor: ...er...I don't think they do that, dear. How about English?
Me: ....kthxby
Back in the day, my Mother's high school conversation went like this:
Career Advisor: So what do you want to do?
Mum: I'd like to travel the world. I thought maybe I could get work on a cruiseship, doing childcare or working in a shop or something like that.
Career Advisor: Is your father an admiral in the Navy?
Mum: ...er. No? He works for the Coal Board.
Career Advisor: Dream on. So have you considered being a secretary?

Sleep now. Possible sidetrip to Vermont tabled for discussion tonight.
I am tired, overwhelmed and on the edge of just crying way more than I can deal with when there are people within people distance.

Cass, I'm sure I've missed the story of what your niece is going through that makes you want to niecenap her, but I sympathize. You're a great aunt to want to help spirit her away from a bad situation.
