Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I know I suck, so I just don't do it.

Actually, this is me too. I WANT to do it, but my track record is so bad, I shouldn't even try - even if no one blames me for failing, I feel terrible. I don't, in general, suck, but this sort of thing? I suck at it. I'm better off acknowledging that I suck at it and bowing out than trying and failing and feeling awful.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

You know, I think enough of us run into problems staying on top of all the hundreds of things going on in our lives that I really don't think "I suck" is the proper diagnosis. Likewise, trying to participate and not being able to manage it really doesn't mean you suck either. It means you got overwhelmed like we all do sometimes. I'd really love it if we could move this discussion away from who does or doesn't suck, even if we're throwing the word at ourselves.

All is well that ends in pizza.

We just discovered in Bitches we're almost out of room.

The suggestions have begun:

Our wings are not tired.

I'm stunned that we are so close to the end! How did that happen? To pick just one:

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.

Yes, please, new thread soonest, darling Stompies. Also, it has been my observation that

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
is the frontrunner new title both in the in-thread discussion, as well as here.
