P-C, you know about McGriddle Fan Fiction, right?

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Where can you find lions?
Only in Kenya.
...but come to Thailand, we've got tigers! (and leopards and elephants and Malayan sun bears black bears and dolphins and pangolins and barking deer and mouse deer and dugongs...)
Apparently.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Thyroid is a good candidate for exhaustion, sj. And would be my first thought as both my mom and my grandma had underactive thyroids. That will be a good thing for it to be as you'll bounce back fast with the synthroid, iirc. (/differential)
The only reason I don't think it is thyroid is because I have had it checked before and it has been fine. Plus, wouldn't I be losing weight rather than gaining it?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I was talking to a friend of mine who's aware of my internet life and I was trying to explain fanfic. She didn't understand it - why write it, why read it, why it even exists.

Did you point her to the existence of Wicked, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead, The Wide Sargasso Sea or 10 Things I Hate About You?
'cause that'd be my first thought. Followed by taking her to a bookshop and pointing at all the Trek, Buffy, Doctor Who, Star Wars et al novels. Not to mention the novelization of every damn blockbuster movie that comes out.

Great news, sj!
Drugs for the flight sounds like an excellent plan.

No - it's one of those subjects we just sort of let drop. We connect on a lot of things, but my internet life isn't one of them. I know she's peeked in here - once during a conversation with some other friends she said something about, "the THINGS they talk about!"
So, we talk about things we have in common.

You know, I have been thinking about fanfic and 'shipping lately. I remember when I was in 7th grade I read some YA Romance about a girl reporter and two guys whon lived in the same boarding house with her, one a fireman and the other something not s exciting. I can't remember the title or author or any more details than that, but at the time I was moved to write a letter to the heroine when I was halfway through the book, telling her how I thought she should resolve her romantic dilemma.
As I recall, the actual ending of the book was better than what I wantedto happen, 'ship-wise anyway.
I don't read or write much fanfic these days, but it still seems like a basic and obvious response.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Aimee!!!
I have no use for spas. I like massage to be corrective, which tends to be on the painful side. I tend to give that, as well, given that I work in a chiropractic office.
I need d to give me a massage.

Not necessarily. With an underactive thyroid you get the exhaustion AND weight gain. It wouldn't hurt to test it since it's just a simple blood test.
