Grown up moment? Realizing I'm supporting not just me, DH, and the kids, but my mom too. No - that was more of a gut punch.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

[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.

Grown up moment? The first health crisis that I had to cope with without my parents' help. Oddly enough, it was my crisis, not Hubby's.
The first time I felt like it was fun to be a grownup was going to a sit-down restaurant all by myself and feeling confident about asking for exactly what I wanted from the waitress.

Happy Birthday, ChiKat!!
I think being grown-up for me was declaring bankruptcy. A house and a kid didn't do it for me. Having creditors calling me at work? Woke me the fuck up.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Feeling like I had to be the grownup? The first time I had to clean up after I'd been sick. The first time my new husband got sick and was depending on me to know what to do. When the hospital actually sent StE home with me. No more bullshit, I'm the mommy, I'm the grownup.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Aang looks a little maniacal with that grin but it’s neat that Avatar is getting some Lego love. (Why yes the 10-year-old does have his Christmas list all finished.. these are in the top 10 things requested)
Hee, yeah, I've seen that. It's neat!
Happy birthday, ChiKat!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I was never a huge smoker, but one of my friends smoked this brand that tasted vaguely of lemon. I loved the first hit off of those, but by the 3rd or 4th cigarette I couldn't taste it anymore. If there was a way to keep that first hit flavor, I'd still be a smoker today. I think they were called Eves. Does that sound right?
.......eschew sheesha. ijs. delicious flavoury goodness for many many puffs. Plus big head 'splodey headrush. apple, mint, peach, cherry, lemon, coffee, cola, chocolate....many many flavours.
Go School ChiKat, it's your Birthday!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy birthday, ChiKat!
Attention, all other Bitch cars: There is absolutely no point to Zmayhem taking a $1900 hit on our car if all y'all are going to crap out too. There is no more shitty car juju left for the entire month of November. We've taken it all. Is that clear, other Bitch cars? Good. Now BEHAVE.
Off now, as Squallapalooza '06 has just commenced and my attendance is required.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Squallapalooza, heh.
Happy birthday, ChiKat!
Did I miss anything else? Buffistas seem to post a lot only when I'm at work or sleeping. I'm impressed by the organization involved.
I knew I was a grown-up when my big sister called to ask me for my advice.

I missed out on that at the F2F! Were you even able to bring any with you, Fay?
