Hi Aims! Welcome home. How're you holding up?
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Not so well. I'm running on fumes and autopilot. There's lots to do and no energy with which to do it.
I think I'm going to try to find out if I can drop my classes this term. I don't really want to, but don't feel like I have the energy to do them properly.
My grams wouldn't like it, but I'm just so tired and ...
Sorry. I know my bullshit has taken up a lot of threadspace this past week.

Don't make any decisions until you've had a couple days rest, Aimee. Seriously, you probably just need a chance to recharge.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Aimee, so glad you're home safe and warm. Hec's advice to curl up and rest for a couple days before you make any long-term decisions is good. You've got such great support there at home.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
(((Aimee))). Take all the threadspace you need. Also, seconding Hec. Though I would suggest letting your profs know what's up. Just so it's not weighing on you.

Aimee - what Hec said. School may be a welcome distraction in a day or two.
I got suck ass grades when mom was going through her transplant, but I'm so glad I didn't drop my classes as badly as I wanted to. I know what I went through with her doesn't compare, but its all I got.

{{{{{Aimee}}}}} Don't you worry a bit about taking up thread space. Also, listen to Hec and give yourself a couple days to process before you make any decisions.

Hell, I don't even remember most of the semester I went through when my father died. I must have done adequately, because, hey, I did graduate.
Bury yourself in pillows and a husband who's grateful you're home for the rest of the week, then unbury yourself and see what the world looks like.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Aimee, to cheer you for a moment, go back a bit and look at the picture of Cashmere jello wrestling. That was definitely cheering (and disturbingly hot).
I keep thinking I want to own my own home again, then I remember what a hassle it was, and I don't think I've got the energy for it. Not all by myself. I can't afford anything but a hovel in my area anyway, and doing all the fix-up on our old farmhouse has gotten all those romantic ideas of fixing up an old house right out of my system.
libkitty, I shall go out on the end of the Grand Canyon Skywalk and spin around for you! Then you will have been there in spirit. I cannot, however, get you a raise in spirit. My powers of transferance are limited that way.
