I think an experience like that is sort of like having a minor fender-bender: it makes you more careful, and grateful besides. Like a wake-up call that makes you count your blessings.
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.

[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.

Thrive to spite them
I went to the art park, there was a shop open near where I parked, but no one turned anything in. I got the number for someone who was doing security, I called and left him a message. He just called me back, no on turned anything in, but they might have turned it into the office which was open last night, but not today and he doesn't have keys for it, but he can check Monday.
Right now I think I'll have to call and report the cards and the check book stolen. This really sucks.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Oh, and Keiran showed me his new tattoo. I won't be teasing him about it anymore
Damn, billytea. That made me cry.

Trust my rage
Aimee, your poor sister. That sounds so scary!
I was going through the archives today, rereading my posts from when I was in labor. Everyone was so nice/supportive of me and the flowers and other gifts were so wonderful. The flowers were gorgeous. It's funny to me that, a year later, I'm once again going through a lot of change. It made me feel really good today to go back and read all those well-wishes. It's amazing how comforting online friends can be.

And pop tarts, to not mix posts...
billytea, Keiran's tattoo is very sweet. And the museum repartee made me laugh.
Aimee, so glad your sis survived her trip to Dangerland!
Purse-ma, askye.
Bienvenidos en Puerto Rico, Stephanie! How was the trip? How are things so far?

What is even happening?
Raq, great pictures. I thought Mal in the pool was going to be my favorite Mal shot, until I saw him making eyes in the library, and the twu wuv shot, and the one in the trunk, and the ones where he's wearing sun glasses, and his delight in the picture where you've lost your luggage, because you're his luggage and he knows where you are. Now they're all my favorite.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Mal is, as expected, a beautiful boy. Twu luv is a very sweet picture, but I can NOT get over just how gorgeous YOU are, Raq. Seriously.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Great pictuires, Raq. Mal is a total cutie head.
I like your captions too.
