Argh, I've had a cold for like a week now, and I keep sneezing blood. It's gross. And it's only out of one nostril, so it's gross and it's confusing.
In other news, I started the practical work for my dissertation today. There's no going back. Eeek.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
sj, rather than trying to think of something to give as a going-away present, something she'll have to try and pack, give her a huge hug.
In a month or so, when she's settled and mostly-unpacked, send her flowers. Or a plant. Or have a nice dinner delivered. Something she'll have the time to appreciate, and that will make her think of you fondly.
Then as she mentions her new decor or interests, whatever, you'll find the perfect thing to send her. Objects really don't mean as much as we think. Most of the time they're just placeholders, reminders of that person, that time.
And really, we all remember the important people and times, without a prompt.
(((sj))). I know this is a hard time for you. Wishing you strength to get through it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Amy wants to know if she's an aunt or an uncle!
Um. I think she's an aunt regardless.

Jury duty? Kinda sucky. Worse, I'm missing fun shit at work! A brownie bakeoff, my boss' bridal shower, another baby shower, and the company picnic! GRRRRRRRR. All to be stuck in a courtroom with MORONS. And by MORONS I mean the LAWYERS.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh man, on re-read at 8:53am, that sounds much more sarcastic than it did in my under-caffeinated head at 5:30something. It was supposed to read as good natured teasing. I'm sorry. In person, I'm far more pleasant.
Hee. It's not a problem, really. I was pretty much asking for the sarcasm.

Okay, could I have picked a profession in which I work myself to exhaustion for a less grateful audience?
I suppose so. I could be a repo man. It's still a bit tiring.
Not all my classes, I should point out. But I've got two now that are pretty much there on sufferance, and figure that they shouldn't have to do anything at all. Which is just spiffy.
Waaaah!
