Saffron: I'll die. Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, 'cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

'Trash'


Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.  

[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.

Compassionately intolerant

Recently, Fela did the cutest thing that helped me to see the progress we've made in communicating things like this.

He sometimes blathers...can't seem to stop his mouth from making the most obvious (which sometimes comes off as not!smart or even insulting) sounds.

A while back, we saw Mirrormask...in one scene a character is trying to pass off a common object as a magic charm. The other character says "That's a half a brick, isn't it?" Um. No. "Yes, yes it is. That's a half a brick...isn't it."

I used that phrase on Fela a couple of times when he seemed to be making things up to fill airspace when he didn't know what to say. I stopped because the 'teasing' was pretty condescending.

The other day, he started down the blather trail, but after about 30 seconds of me not bothering to challenge him he paused and said, "Wait. That was totally a half a brick."

I had to kiss him for the self awareness of it.

The moral? He shifted because he shifted...not because I poked him. That felt really good to me.

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.

It just read like a question of being over needy- being called overly needy can make you sensitive to that.

I do apologize.

I apologize for my end of the misunderstanding, too. I didn't mean to make you feel worse.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Heading south, then west or east then north then south then west. IT MAKES NOT WITH THE SENSE MAKING!
It's Dallas, not so much with the road sense making already.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Honestly, on my first time over for "gaming with the boys" on Saturdays, I had just as much fun hanging with you afterwards as I did gaming. Maybe more.

Flirty McFliterstein. :)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It's cool, not your fault. I'm just touchy.

BTW- Thanks to Aimee, for very kindly pointing out that being on a hair trigger is probably not the best time to parse other people's words for meaning.

Thank my therapist. I do every time I write her a check.

I'm reading Farscape recaps and downloading Conviction episodes, because I miss me some JAR.
