Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness  

[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.

Congratulations on the upcoming adventure, Omnis.

PixKristin, congrats to you on the piddly-paying easy summer teaching gig.

clearly we need that transporter to get working STAT! MM, how is that coming? Have you reverse engineered Gene's plans yet?

omnis, congratulations and good luck!

Cashmere, yay buy out!

We're headed home now from vw's lovely party. There was much fun, good food, and wonderful margaritas. vw makes one very delicious carrot cake.

Have you reverse engineered Gene's plans yet?

Before anybody gets too happy about following Gene's plans, it is maybe worth remembering that a) in order to separate your body into its component atoms, it must first be heated to a temperature hotter than the sun, and b) once you have been so separated, your bits are then effectively squirted through a tube (the Annular Confinement Beam).

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

And as we all know, the internet is a whole series of tubes! We could travel by broadband!

Mostly lurking...

o_a, that's HUGE! Congratulations!

Go, Kristin!

Party over. Me sleepy. Much fun was had. My thesis buddy's adorable little sister was the "official photographer." I can't wait to upload these pictures and share. They are so priceless. My favorite is the one of the cake in the fridge.

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

Congrats again o_a. And see you tomorrow!

I'm getting the pig!

Lots of good things tonight!

I'm glad your party went well, vw. I'll try to wait patiently for the pictures.

Yay Cashmere! I can only imagine what a huge weight has been lifted off of your mind. (At least until I have a better idea when I put my own place on the market in the next few months.)

Wow Kristin - you're definitely in demand. Have you thought about buying a lottery ticket? Or maybe seven? You seem to be on a good streak. Go you!

Congrats, omnis! May the packing and moving and unpacking go as smoothly as possible.

thanks for all the congrats! I'm nervous, excited, happy, sad. I'm a ball of emotions. Now that I finally have the "am I leaving" anxiety out of the way, it has been replaced with:

- moving- movers or pod? will my shit fit in a pod? packing/unpacking pod PITA. Cost of movers instead of pod

- finding an apartment. And why do the online rental thingies show so many outside shots, and NONE of the interior?! Hello! I live inside. A few of the community, great, but some of actual apartments, BETTER!

:: sigh ::

it will be a fun 6 weeks.
