100% fixed is good, save possibly as the title of a dating profile.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It would draw me in.
Gotta go to bed. Good grief, it's 1:30 am. I have to at least be able to fake alertness at work tomorrow.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I remember that! And your surgery tat!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Awww, Zen and Gris going to see a show and Teppy's 100%.
Hec, your quoting of The Crow (not quothing, which is rightly applied to ravens) has me chasing down Ted Hughes' collected works.
It's truly one of the great poetry books of the 20th century but dang it's coming from a dark place. At first I thought, "Oh yeah - this is after Sylvia Plath's suicide." But it was worse! After Plath's suicide he rebuilt his life, raised his kids, dedicated himself to her work, fell in love with a woman, had a child with her...and then that woman committed suicide. With their child.
As bad as the first blow would be to take, to fight back and rebuild and then have it all ripped apart is just unimaginable.
On top of which, he was wildly vilified by feminists of that era for "driving" those women to suicide. Yeesh.

Indeed so. And they made him Poet Laureate! That should've been the Queen's Christmas address. "My loyal subjects, we have appointed Ted Hughes as our Poet Laureate. Life is pain. God bless this United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I feel compelled by the demons of pedantry to mention that his affair with Assia Wevill began while he was still married to Plath, and that he was no more faithful to Wevill than to Plath.
Also, that Hughes seems to have had a serious thing for the unstable ones.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Also, that Hughes seems to have had a serious thing for the unstable ones.Like attracting like?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
He's always here to cuddle with (and, you know, for other things), and to talk to, and to make me tea, but he's a complete homebody, so I go out with girlfriends and to my writer's meetings, and he's fine with hanging out at home with the kids. I get outside socialization as well as him, and he gets, well, me, I guess.
Yeah, I've got one of these too. Though, sub "making beer and playing video games" for "hanging out with the kids."
