I think it has more to do with this tiara fixation of hers.
And, really, Empress - isn't a prince beneath you (strictly metaphorically, ya know)?
Mighty fine shindig.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hooray Nora's raise!
Prince Charles, huh? Huh.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm home! And married! Biyi follows in nine days! More later. (It's 3 in the morning! How much later can he go?!?)
A relevant topic of conversation: reading about peoples' troubles with the stereotypes of Western families followed by their nearest and dearest, I should note that Biyi's parents are lovely in-laws. They love their daughter, I love her and care for her and make her happy, and that's all they need to know. I did win brownie points for my dad and my brother attending the wedding (my dad's speech noted that the last time he was in China was helping set up a life-saving society to improve Chinese-Australian relations, but this wasn't what he'd pictured), but they welcomed me just on the strength that their daughter loves me. I feel very lucky. (Especially since my previous xth-generation Australian in-laws thought I was Satan incarnate.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay billytea!!

That'd be nice. :-) Meanwhile, whose brilliant idea is it that I have to go into work tomorrow?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
So, so happy for you, bt. So happy. It's a wondrous thing that you have found such a lovely woman to be your mate, and that her family add to your happiness, and that you will soon be able to live together, having satisfied the government hurdles.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
whose brilliant idea is it that I have to go into work tomorrow?
Probably The Man's. He's got a lot to answer for.
In the mean time, welcome home and congratulations again!
