I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

[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.

w, if you want to be a ball, be a ball.

Can I be a ball who runs away?

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

Curling into a ball and running away are time honored metods of dealing with badness. That said, current craptasticness is totally bump in the road and not your final destination.

Can I be a ball who runs away?

Yep!

And then you'll come back. 'Cause you're just that tough.

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

I am reading a book on exercize. That's, like, a step in the right direction, right?

Depending on the size of the book, it may well be an upper-body workout in itself. OotP sure was.

I just got back from a lunch spent buying shoes. (Well, sandles.) Yesterday I spent my lunch hour getting a haircut. It feels like someone enhanced my girly side when I wasn't looking. Whee!

Ok. Runaway plans foiled for now. Going to see a movie instead. Need to shower. No energy. Maybe moviegoers will get to smell stinky me for a couple of hours.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My mom went to her 30th reunion, which, oddly enough was held on my 30th birthday. My OBC, who hadn't been to a reunion since the 10th was there, wife in tow. My mom and he spoke and he not once asked about me. Later on in the evening, my mom was a little bit toasted and wnated to go over to him and say, "I know where you were 30 years ago, do you know?"

My dad and her friends stopped her.

I wish I could have crashed that party in all of my hugely pregnant splendor.

That's the spirit!

(See, if you giving up utterly goes to that extent this should work out just fine.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

{{{{{vw}}}}} If you do turn into a ball, turn into a Stitch-ball - tuck your feet into your mouth and roll around, growling in frustration. Then, create a model of San Francisco and rampage through it (or come to SF proper and rampage). It always does the trick.

Love you.
