Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

sj, you are not stupid. Taking a wrong turn in a new neighborhood? Happens to everyone without a navigator. It's frustrating and scary when it gets you lost, but don't beat yourself up.

vw, I think you should arrange for your Dad to meet Expeditable Boy. That one was an argument for slowing things down.

Oh, yeah! But, see, apparently, I'm not trying hard enough. I should be sending out several e-mails an hour apparently. Oh, and why didn't I go with eHarmony? Don't they have better results? Even if they're more expensive...

Actually, I'd be in tears if this weren't so freaking funny.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

This is why I NEVER tell my parents I'm seeing someone until it's gotten to being an actual "relationship," whatever that means.

My students have their final exam on Friday. I had two hours worth of office hours today. Only four students showed up. I'm betting I'm going to get a whole ton of panicked emails Wednesday night, asking to set up an appointment on Thursday.

That was my plan. I should have stuck with it. I just panicked, ya know?

Oh, my god, are they *ever* more expensive. So much more that even visiting that site should be an orgasmic experience...which, okay, if they had a "Love of Your Life or Die" guarantee, I'd be less likely to think twice about the fifty bucks, but, you know...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

See, he submitted a job description to some very expensive higher education job sites today, so he completely gets how it is to "put yourself out there."

If it weren't contributing to your stress levels, this would be almost unbearably adorable. If your dad were here, I might have to pinch his cheeks.

You know. It is kind of adorable. He's trying really hard. He means really well. It's just...he so doesn't get it.
