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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

vw, I'd leave out "I sense that my process is very different than the one you suggest or employ. I want to make sure that if I sign on as a tutor that we are on the same page in ideas--or can get to that same page." That sounds like you're auditioning her, which you are, but it's the kind of thing that causes people in charge to twitch. If it turns out that her answer is at odds with what you think, you can explore that in later e-mails.

There is no day so dark that it can't be lightened by a post from Fay or a story about the next generation of Buffistas or a glimpse of naked Owen or by the return of Raq.

move out and draw fire

Connie, that's great! Very much "Squee!"

vw, I think that's a good email.

Robert will get here in about 6 weeks. Legion may get here sooner; R finally found a vet that has the rabies vaccine so the plan is to get Legion certified for travel and ship him to me. Of course, once R arrives he will pretty much immediately have to go up to PA to finish up his War College program.

ION, according to Wired, in addition to water and HFCS, Cool Whip contains condom lube and hemorrhoid creme. Nummy!

Thanks, guys!

Oh, dear. I will never be able to eat that again.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Great news, Connie!

vw, it's a good e-mail, especially with Ginger's suggested edit. It looks like you're trying to get more information, not criticize.

That's wonderful news, Connie.

I now feel justified in my belief that Cool Whip ruins everything it touches.

Thrive to spite them

Connie that's great news!

Trust my rage

connie, i love that story and isn't it nice to have surgery that actually makes you better than you wre, not just bringing you back to where you need to be.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm glad I gave up Cool Whip in the 70s.

Raq! It's so good to see you here.

And a full on Fay sighting now with extra added blushing. I can't believe anybody could outcute Ray, though.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh, connie. That is so good to read. Hubby really does deserve a break. Yay for surgery working!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's excellent news, Connie. Go doctor fixit!
