What an amazing man, David. What an amazing life. It sounds well lived. I wish none of us ever had to die (moreso lately), particularly the people I love and care about, and by extention the people they love and care about. I wish EM and her dad strength and peace. She's been through too much lately.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yay, P-C!!!!! I love it when employers recognize the hard work of their employees.
I'm so baffled because I could totally work harder. Seriously. But in a sly bit of psychology, I am now motivated to work harder. Mostly.
P-C, don't make me link back to when you were working like 80 days straight without an actual permanant job offer! Hells yeah you deserve it. I'm happy that it was recognized!
Hey, I was recognized for that! I...got a free lunch! And lots of overtime pay.
I'm sorry about Emmett's grandfather, Hec.

Hec, that was a beautiful remembrance of a remarkable man. So beautiful, it nearly made me cry at work. Don't do that to me! {{Hec, Emmett and EM}}

Augh. There is TOO MUCH TO DO.
Especially if I want to actually apply to grad school.
Am trying to be good at work and not be on the intarweb (am currently eating lunch at Panera), adn the Too Much To Do is sorta helping that, but ay! What is NOT helping? The fact that it's been SIXTY THREE DEGREES in teh office all day. Damn. Though for a few minutes before lunch I borrowed a coworker from another section's space heater, and that was super nice (her section of the building is fine today). Stupid old building.

I'm sorry for EM, and especially sorry that Emmett never got to know the man he was.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'm sorry for EM, and especially sorry that Emmett never got to know the man he was.
Yes, this.
