That's so awesome. I wish I could hug you both.
How are you doing? Have they figured out the vertigo?
Zoe: My man would never fall for that. Wash: Most of my head wishes I had.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

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.

I'm doing ok. More stable, I think I've just figured out how to compensate. I still have a few bouts that remind me that it is not gone. I had to reschedule my follow-up appointment - so I don't see my doc again until the 17th.
I figure if the MRI showed something serious, I'd have heard by now. That reminds me, I still haven't gotten my replacement ATM card.

Wow, Suzi, your mom sounds amazing! I'm glad she's doing so well.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
My favorite job is now. But it's also way harder and more upsetting than any job I've ever held.
Up until now my favorite job was working as followspot operator at a teeny dinner theater. Loved it. It was performance, but invisible behind-the-scenes (when you did it right) performance. Ideal. Boss was a man who would curse you up one side and down the other if you screwed up by malice or carelessness, but would tell you if you did well. And wouldn't give you a hard time if you just made a mistake. Only boss I've ever had that really genuinely cared about his employees. Not that you'd ever know through his gruff exterior, but you stand up and do your job for him and he valued you. Best boss ever.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Was today toast day or did I read that way back in Natter? (In Natter I'm always in the past)

Always Anti-fascist!
One of my big problems with my life right now, aside from the no $, which always blows, is that everything is so commingled...my work life and home life...friends and associates.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
{{JZ}} You are human and humans make mistakes. I know it sucks and is incredibly frustrating, but don't beat up someone who I like quite a bit.
WindSparrow, what others said. You affect lives in a positive way. I can think of nothing more important.
I am happily tired. Went out to dinner with some coworkers after school then went to the big Homecoming game. Truly, I went to see the marching band. They were quite fun and we left after halftime. The score was 30-0 at that point and we were losing. How sad to be so truly spanked at your homecoming game! I just looked up the final score and it was 37-0. Yikes.
At the game, I got my first student yell. I was walking back to the bleachers from the restroom and behind me I heard, "Hey, Miss LastName!!" I turned to see one of my students waving at me. I kinda dug it. I'm a goof.
After we left, we went back to a coworker's place and hung out. Nice and fun!

finally catching up on recorded shows. Watching pushing daisies. Did anyone else feel it had an Amélie feel to it?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Ah, JZ, you're juggling so much. I'm sorry you're beating yourself up over this. I wish you knew how really amazing you are.
This! This!
I mean, love, I totally get the whole OMGHowCanIBeSoFuckingUseless reflex, but these things happen to all of us from time to time.
One possible suggestion, wrt the $25 - when I was at University, and we were all completely fucking up our finances beyond the telling of it, the Student Advisor recommended phoning the bank and trying to talk them down from slapping on additional charges - and startlingly, this actually did work. Don't know whether that's something you'd be at all comfortable with trying, but it wouldn't hurt, maybe?
