Laura, that's a lovely story. Thanks for sharing.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

[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!

Congratulations, Hil! Ptui on your advisor for not reading stuff. And also fie.
I love those communal "this is beautiful" moments. They make me feel kindly towards everyone.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
They make me feel kindly towards everyone.
Read as "they make me feel kinky towards everyone". Not that that's a bad thing.

Sometimes that, too. Depending on what kind of loveliness we're sharing.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
This happened last Friday, but it's pretty common. It was pouring outside, hailing lightning all that fun stuff. So all the electricity in the bar goes off, and yet, nobody leaves. Bartenders keep making drinks. Patrons start taking flashlights and telling jokes or stories on top of the barstools. People go outside too play in it. It was like adult camp.
I love the humans!

Our wings are not tired.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oooh, rainbow.
I made a yummy eggplant and cheese casserole for dinner. Yay, vegetables! Yay, food other than matzo and eggs!

Nice, Laura.
Recipe, Hil? I have a gorgeous eggplant that I need to do something with, but I'm missing an ingredient for its intended purpose.

Hey, those are pretty good rainbow pics for being from a cell phone! Nice.
Hooray, vegetables. Not that I'm eating any today, but still.
I have a recipe for a farfel-tomato bake that I want to try, it's supposed to be like pasta. I also have some koseher-for-passover noodles that I got because I though that noodles would make nice change, but now I don't know what to do with them. I keep falling back on the jellies and bon bons, which is no way for a grown woman to eat.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I love those communal "this is beautiful" moments.
Then there are communal "this is funny" moments. I was just standing in line at a bakery area of the farmer's market, and a black woman poured herself a cup of coffee. Her friend said, "That looks strong," and she said, "That's the way I like it. Strong and black." All of us who were waiting started looking at each other and giggling.
