I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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.

Mostly lurking...

Oh, god. Oh, god. Oh, god.

Figuring out loan stuff. Figuring out interest payments. I think I'm making a huge mistake.

Can't breathe. Dad's calling me back. Can't breateh.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thanks, -t!

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

"Oh, it's Colin Firth barefoot. What more could you....Oh. Oh my. Oh. I'm watching that again."

Are you also giving SA one of the Slings & Arrows tapes? Because now I'm worried that she may OD on handsome witty dark-haired actors with gorgeous intense gazes, and snap and go on some kind of long-flappy-coat-and-leather-pants rampage.

eta: vw, try to breathe. You're not making a huge mistake (except possibly for the sad-making not-living-with-Emily part) -- you're dealing with money issues, which are scary as all fuck. Just doing it at all is incredibly brave; panicking is totally permitted.

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

Hec, you'll be happy to know I do *not* have Heat Miser hair of a morning now. Go you.

I'm totally chuffed to contribute to your all-around sexiness. I really enjoyed hanging out with you on the back porch while I cut your hair. So when you go back to the stylist you just want to say, "Just trim around the ears and back, we're growing it out a bit more on top. It's a smonster thing."

You and Suzi both seemed to be enjoying your holiday from Mom responsibilities.

Unfortunately I have nowhere to run (the downside to being self-employed and operating out of your home.

I am Pete, except with extra added Ick.

I think she's going to be DLing the Slings and Arrows.

vw, just take a breath. Money stuff is stressful but anything that can be solved by money is fixable.

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

Breathe, vw. Even if you are making a mistake (and I don't think you are), there are ways to fix it. But first, keep breathing.

Because books.

I am Pete and Ginger, with same Ick. And a toddler.

You and Suzi both seemed to be enjoying your holiday from Mom responsibilities.

Indeed. I had a lovely time with you! It was interesting to have someone cut my hair who was enjoying it, not just snipping through to the next customer. More JZ time would have been even better, though.

{{{vw}}} Breathe, sweetie.

Breathing again. It's not like I ever need to buy a house or anything. I can pay off student loans for the rest of my life.
