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 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

[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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, for starters, it took me until I was 32 to actually HAVE a career path.

Early bloomer.

Signed, 38 and no sign of a career path, even with all the maps I've bought

{{Daisy}} It's so hard to have a friend in a tough situation and not be able to help. Though you have helped already.

Wait. Careers are supposed to have a path? I've just been following my nose.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I just feel like I've been all "Yay! Away from the dick!" to be thinking about how sad and sucky she must feel. Now that I am thinking about it, it makes me really sad.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Aw, {{{{DJ}}}} Yeah, it's sad and sucky, but she'll get through it and feel SO MUCH BETTER. I promise. The getting-through-it is hard, though.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Yeah. I can see the other side from here a little better than she can. I wish I could get her to hop on up here and see it with me, but I know that's not the way it works, or should work.

My career path is the one Bugs Bunny took to get to Poughkeepsie. I like my job and have been here long enough to see some benefits, but tomorrow, I could decide to like, make coats or something.

Oh, DJ. I'm glad you guys are getting drinks later.

Tonight, after dinner with a friend, we ran into my shrink. This is the same friend I was with when we ran into my GYN. She like has some vw's doctor radar or something. It's weird.

Art Crawl!!!

jilli, I like the second purse better too and not just because it doesn't have a giant "G" on it. I like that it has a much more decided shape.

I'm giving up on boys.

That is all.

vw, I hope the boys don't give up on you and a wonderful, smart and determined hottie breaks down your resolve and you two live happily ever after.

Jessica and I have the climbing the fridge thing in common. As soon as I could walk I could scale that sucker, which was where my mother often kept her purse in an attempt to protect it from her curious children. The first time I found it up there I swiped her lipstick and proceeded to decorate the walls.

I'm exhausted from a day teaching at a worshop where I was on my feet all day. Tomorrow I don't have to teach, but I still have to be there and it's the Dean's picnic.

I like the second purse better, too.
