Poor Tim Goodwin at the Chronicle touched my "Wire" button and got the longest e-mail evah from a stranger. That'll teach him to taunt me about those six eps he has. But I still sort of feel sorry for him in the "person walking by wants to talk about THE LORD," kind of way because I'm not rational about the Simonverse. I want Ray Cole's funeral, you know?

Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[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.
Happiest of Birthdays, JZ!
I will never forget JZ's birthday, because it is my anniversary, and I remember at the reception when I took a picture with Perkins, Plei and Plei's DH, that we should have held a sign or something to acknowledge her natal day.
The DH and I celebrated with a 3 day weekend in Sonoma/Napa, hiking and using a B&B gift certificate we got as a wedding present. I don't care much about going to a brazillion wineries and doing the tasting, but I do have a favorite, Vincent Arroyo, because I think their reds are wonderful: [link]
Also, I must say, Thank-you, Epic! She sent me a sweet thank-you note for letting her crash on our couch for the F2F and she sent me the monkey from Wonderfalls! Actually, the monkeys, since they come as a pair, but I'm having trouble thinking in the plural.
I skipped 400+ messages, so I'm now going back to read.

Signed, Dating a Former Seminarian
I've been musing recently (well, again) that I have some online friends whom I've ended up meeting in real life, and they're good people, and they love me for reasons I cannot fathom, but I don't think I would have been friends with them if we had had to do so in meatspace.
because I know there are people who work this many hours regularly.
I do, but I'm not happy about it. Between work and school, I probably average 60-70 hours per week easily. And, lately, it's more like 70-80.
I suppose what I'm really not happy about is that I do it for a job that is not a Calling. I like my job. It's fine and all that. But I don't Love it. Which is why I'm in the midst of a career change.
I've always been a hard worker, but I like to channel that energy to something I really love. When I do, I still have energy for doing social things. Unlike now when I feel as though I've been sucked dry.
I met my former seminarian in nursing school, so it was meatspace in a most visceral way.
