Nope. It's y'all that commercialised Hallowe'en. We didn't even do trick-or-treating until fairly recently.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

[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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Aw, poor Maria, Mr. Maria and Coco. I'm glad she's better now though. I hope she's giving you lots of love!
I went out to dinner with a potential/new friend. It was nice. I had three glasses of wine and I'm hoping for no dreams tonight.

Er, that was nope to the whole Halloween being big, rather than discussing Christmas. Although actually I'm Not Really Here, and must dash as kids will be surging in through my door any second now...

Are you somehow implying that trick or treating is a BAD thing? Because it was probably my favorite day all year, as a child!!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Okay. If you get the chance later, natch.
I'm already kind of planning a Thankgiving dinner too. Just because I will miss it too badly otherwise.

Mostly lurking...
I'm home. Yay for standby on earlier flight!
I walked into my apartment, though, and thought, "WHO RANDSACKED THE PLACE?!" And then I remembered.
That's how I left it.
Real life. Welcome back.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am always dismayed when the House Elves fail to clean up when I am out of town.
Kinda wish they would empty, refill and run the dishwasher right now, actually.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I always get like that, too. Just, somehow, houses should be clean when you get home from vacation.
Ugh. I'm suddenly starving. I have no food, and no clean dishes. Do I go out and buy something, or trying to make something with the random stuff I've got here, or just ignore starvingness until breakfast?

Hey. New board.
Big ol' meara. The longest bit is about Joan of Arcadia, so if you haven't watched it, skip on down to the second quote.
Season 2 was a botch job. I think a lot of the problem was Judith, or at least, she's the part I objected to, the most.
Really? I was just looking over the recaps from Season 2, and remembering how much I actually kind of liked Judith. Even if I hadn't, she was gone so early in the season. Sure, I guess her shadow affected the rest of the season, but the season mostly sucked, I think, because of over-playing the Joan/Adam relationship to the point that it interfered, consistently, with the whole God thing, not to mention the family storylines. Which undercut the entire premise and point. When it became Yet Another Show About High School Angst, then it lost its power, I felt.
I mean, in my ideal world, Judith wouldn't have existed because the second season would have spent a lot longer dealing with Joan's doubts - maybe even have started during her recovery - but that was always a pipe dream. They needed to establish pretty quickly that yes, God really was talking to her, for the series to maintain its audience. I think the early episodes that included Judith - much like the early episodes of Buffy S7 - were all okay, and some of them were brilliant. I actually really liked the premier and Judith's last episode ranks among my favorite episodes of TV ever. I'm a sap.
Baby and Emmett pics (okay, not really a quote)
Adorably adorable!
"WANT BALLS WANT BALLS!" Joe looked at me and said, "That's your kid."
Tea. On. My. Keyboard.
I can't remember if I posted in here about my back injury last night, but if I did, here's the punchline: spent the last five hours in urgent care and at the pharmacy.
This is the TOTAL suck. I'm sorry. Hopefully all those cool medicines will make you feel better. And high.
All the stuff about Nora's friend (I'm really bad at actually quoting in these, but the topic break is nice)
Oh, Nora, I hope things improve for you and your friend.
I just found out my best friend has cancer.
(SA and friend)
Emmett should totally be Gir.
Wrod.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
When I lived alone the house elves would go in and clean up while I was gone (in the form of my mother). I used to pretend to be mad at her for doing it, but it was nice to come home to a perfectly clean apartment. Now that I live with Dave, she wouldn't dream of doing that, which is good, I suppose.
Welcome home, vw!
