Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

[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.

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.

But he, um, I mean the fictional construct in my head, thinks I should stop worrying about the past and work on my book, being that he's a major character and would rather see me put him on the page than obsess over past mistakes.

This is one of those times when you should listen to the voices in your head.

God, my head is *killing* me.
This, on the other hand, is not. Do you need a machete (to be used on someone else) or Excedrin more, MM?

Dude, I was walking and had potty trained myself by age 1. Everything's a disappointment after that

Damn, girl, that IS overachieving. I think I'd be a little freaked out by a child like that, like "Who replaced my baby with a freaky alien changeling??"

I get my work stuff on Friday, it looks like--they just sent me the UPS tracking numbers. Not just a laptop but a keyboard and screen and printer and all that, too! Whoot!

I was just trying to keep up with my brother who is 15 months older than me!

Dear Miracleborns, move to the West Coast. Do not argue with or attempt to thwart me in this, unless you really really want to get the Very Stern Letter where I explain what is best for you.

As for the Curse of the Gifted Child: pfffft, whatever. I'm totally not living up to my early potential, and I'm fine with it. I'm happy. In fact, my younger self would probably think my current life is pretty keen. Well, except for the part where I haven't become Queen of the Vampires or something like that, but even then I knew it was a pretty unrealistic dream.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I am nowhere near living up to my potential.

It is depressing and it pisses me off.

ION:

Dear Jilli VoiceOfReason,

I was intrigued by your missive of 4/2/08 wherein you outlined a plan to regale us, the Miracleborns, with "Very Stern letter" in re: why we should move westward and what is best for us.

I should be interested in hearing more about this, as self-improvement and the improvement of my situation are subjects which are of constant interest to me.

Do you have a monthly newsletter that perhaps I could subscribe to?

Many thanks,

Miracleman

Oh, just you wait, mister. I wasn't planning on paying attention in the meeting I'm about to run off to ANYWAY, so I can spend it writing that Very Stern Letter.

You sound threatening. Did you miss the part where I asked if you have a newsletter?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Babe, I told you last night - your dad gets his Canadian citizenship that means you can get it too and we can move to Vancouver!

They have my program at the University of British Columbia.

not your mom's socks.

So on my lunchtime walk (see! I do get out of my chair!) I went up the hill and on the way back down wandered into a neighborhood salon. (I am leery of local salons and wish that my much-loved Baltimore place were closer...) Ended up in a seat with the very adorable, much older Mr. Miyagi-type doing hair-shui for a good fifteen minutes. He even whipped out the color wheel. It was interesting, though he said I couldn't have bangs. I may go back and see what happens.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

My sister would like me to ask if anyone would know how to perform a ritual cleansing of her apartment.
