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.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen  

[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!

Raq, those creepy crawlies gave me the heebie jeebies.

Calli, health~ma to your mom

Er, temp~ma, for askye. Or possibly sense of the appropriate~ma for the temp. Whatever gets him to keep his side of public phone conversations to, "Uh-huh."

This.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I just bought five foundations, three eyeshadows and two lip things. I adore samples! Even samples that I pay for.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

you know I used to so blase about bugs. but heaps of catapillars... ugh.

and that temp needs to smacked with a clue stick.

beth, I don't know whether to feel sad for you, or envy you, so I'm kind of doing both

I am feeling some pity for future me ... that still won't be able to go out in the garden an play because I need to do some indoor work.

Health-ma to Calli's mom.

What is even happening?

Did I mention a couple weeks ago that I got caterpillared? Broke out all over with something like chicken pox? These are the little bastards:
Am I seeing the photo right. Are they they long line (backwards L) that at first might be mistaken for a wire or cable of some kind?

Regardless, and unrelatedly, I want a fried oldstyle McDonald's pie now, possibly cherry.

My running around just got cut in half by the best (no lie, no sarcasm) mother from our local elementary school. I shall rise up and call her blessed.

Calli, I'm sorry your mom's chemo is giving her such a hard time. I hope they get her over the hump, soon.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Thanks, y'all.

I want pie now, too. But then, I usually want pie on some level.

move out and draw fire

Calli, I'm sorry your mom's chemo is giving her such a hard time. I hope they get her over the hump, soon.

This, very much.

I can't even comment on the toe-tongue guy. I don't think even a grossed-out expression at him would have any effect if he doesn't already know it's inappropriate.

Cindy, yep, it's a long line of caterpillars. They drop from these webby nest things in a big heap, and work around until they are in a nose-to-tail spiral, and then head out in a line. I used to wonder why birds just didn't eat them all up...now I know.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Calli, I hope it improves soon. Chemo's a bitch.

Cass! Which eyeshadows??? I love love love the ones I have from there. Oasis and Palomino. And Camel, which I only have as a sample. But, TO LOVE!

They have an amazing texture for their mineral foundation. I should email them and beg for peachier shades.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just colored my hair. Soft black my ass, L'Oreal. It's so black it's nearly midnight blue. That's okay, it was just a surprise. I tend to red out really quickly, no matter what brown I use, and my grey is getting downright rude. I guess I showed it. It's just still a little funny(ier than usual) looking in the mirror.

It's not just haircolor, it's an adventure!

Raq--EEEEWWWWWWW! I have severe worm/caterpillar squick.

This has been acerbated by the trailer I saw for the movie version of How to Eat Fried Worms (even though I LOVED the book as a kid).

I have to decide if I want to change cable/internet/phone service providers. I priced service with a new company for everything I have now at $22/month savings. I called the old company and the best they could do to match is $10/month. I could dump HBO and ditch one of the DVRs and probably bump that savings.

Did I mention my diamond shoes are pinching something awful?
