Patience and strength to your whole family, askye.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

[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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sending vibes-as-needed to all bitches and those they love.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Wallybee and I have been discussing wedding dates. Initial plans: a wedding in Melbourne and a wedding in China. Only it turns out that it was actually two weddings in China, because her family and other groupies are concentrated in two different cities (Shanghai and Hangzhou). Furthermore, my office closes down between Christmas and New Years, so that would be the easiest time to swan off to a foreign country to get hitched as I don't need to get extra time off. (I've used up a bit of leave lately.) Apparently a Chinese wedding is a lot easier to pull together than those advocated by the marital-industrial complex in the West. Even two Chinese weddings. Nonetheless, my reaction was roughly "Wait, what?"
But! Conversations with the Wallybee's unofficial-proxy-parental-unit-and-landlord (I bet there's a culture with a single word for that) has suggested an alternative. In this version, we eschew the Melbourne wedding entirely, and go with a celebratory dinner instead. All I need to do, then, is work out a way to get my family over to Shanghai. (March or April, I'm not going to try that at Christmas.)

We concluded Teacup Guy's birthday weekend with dinner with friends and a poetry reading. Now to fall down. We're both dead tired.
