I'm so sorry, askye. All my love and comfort to your whole family.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Oh, askye, I'm so sorry.
omnis: Wow, dude. Dallas? Wow. Congrats and good luck.
ND and Sean: Sorry for setting a trend.

{{askye}} I'm so sorry, sweetie. Peace~ma to your family.
Home is where my stuff is. Madison, for its familiarity, wins grand overall "home". But if I packed up and moved tomorrow for some reason, the new place would be "home." I was always itching to go somewhere new when I was a kid, it's one of the reasons I joined the military and the main reason I still miss it. I love going new places and getting to know them; doing that every 2-3 years is no hardship. As long as someone else packs and moves me.

I'm so very sorry, askye. Your family is in my thoughts.
Home for me is my house in Salem. Very much. It's got Tom, my cat, my stuff, and I am invested in it emotionally (as well as financially of course).
My parents moved when I was 13 so I only lived in their current house for 4 years before going off to college. I'd come back "home" on weekends and summers though. But when Tom and I got together, that was no longer "home," oddly enough. I guess there was some transference involved.
Speaking of home, I'm absurdly pleased by doing curtain washing for the first time since we moved in (3 years)! I know it sounds gross, but I never even thought about curtains being laundry fodder. They are just there as part of the window... but I washed the dining room and the bedroom curtains, yay!

Oh, askye. That's tragic and awful. Peace and love and prayers to you and your family. I'm glad you were able to take today off.

Because books.
Oh, askye, I'm so sorry about your cousin. Peace to you and your family.
The last place that really felt like home to me was the house we lived in PA for eight years. But I also have a larger sense of "home" for that area. I used to have it for the town in NJ where Stephen and I grew up, but when I visit there now so much has changed, so many people have moved on, it's not the same.
Home is also, in an important way, where my family is. Where Stephen and the kids are, always.

{{{askye}}} I'm so very sorry for your loss. Tons of ~ma to you and your family.
My last apartment never really felt like home, because I never felt like I could fully relax there. This place already feels like home to me.

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?
{{{askye}}} Much peace to you and your family.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh askye, I'm so sorry. Much strength and peace to you and your family.

Some apartments have felt more like home than others.
But more importantly, Los Angeles has, from just about the moment I got here, felt more like home than Michigan ever did, despite the fact that I left a lot of people who felt like "home" behind (and that people who really feel like "home" have had to leave LA).
