So based on meara's definition I'm a cradle robber. And, well, yeah, been called that one before.
Oh well. Some people just have issues.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does the term cradle robber come with a value judgment, meara?

Not in my case. It's just fun to say. Like "living in sin" I don't care, I just enjoy the phrase.

Timelies, Buffistas.
Work. Don't wanna.
Edit: I think I just understood this week HOW MUCH I COULD USE A VACATION. Even just a day off would make things so much better.
Alas, the best chance for me to get that break won't be until May 7th. So right now, I'm just gonna make myself ice tea and dream of lack of responsibility and hanging out with friends.

I'm going to run away to OSV this afternoon, with friends and their kids, which should be ultra-fun! And yet I will dutifully be able to attend part of my class in the morning, so my guilt should be minimal....

I'm still reading the comments, but this response to the boobies thing so far has me nodding like a bobblehead.

I've been so many of you in the past few hours.
No wonder I'm feeling a little bit confused and amused.

Oh, thanks tiggy! I hope you'll have a great day, and that you'll feel better.
And sorry about the laptop crap.

Already this morning: I have a headache, I couldn't find my iPod, and it's ass cold here. Also, I woke up and discovered a cat snuggling in on either side of me, it was very hard to get up and disturb such coziness.
