Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

'First Date'


Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?  

[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.

Awww, jeez Sean, that sucks.

Thanks for the birthday greetings! I am trying to decide what to do (though, uh, I need to check my work email and see what i *have* to do, first). I need to do some laundry and prep for camping tomorrow, but am do I want to try to get a massage? There's a place around the corner, but I wasn't *super* impressed with them the one time I've been. There's a crazy Korean spa people love out in the suburbs that'll scrub you down and so on, but I'm not sure I want to go all the way out there, and by myself. Hmm.

I feel exactly the opposite.

That's the inertia and the remaining love. Yeah, it's all so Romantic and Operatic to do the suffering together to the end thing, but then you just have two people weakened when there was only one, when you could have a strong person who may be in a position to help the weak one in the future.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Birthday Felicitations to Jen and meara! Cake! Confetti! Hott persons of your preference to schnorgle and make out with, and talk good talk and have good laughter with. Beverages to buoy your spirits. More cake!

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

Made it to the mechanic and back. Still a bit light-headed from the adrenaline rush. Woo!

You don't realize how much you'll miss power steering until you have to make a left turn in front of a semi that you're not sure isn't going to rush the yellow.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I feel exactly the opposite.

Of course you do, because that's the kind of man you are -- you're honorable and have integrity other people can only dream of. You're also very, very loving. None of that is diminished one bit by your decision to end the relationship.

I forgot to include the motor-ma, MM, but I was thinking it. Glad the semi didn't bolt.

I know. I really do. The Emotional side isn't really listening to the Rational side. Not sure it ever does....

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 feel exactly the opposite.

I think that is a sign of the depth of the courage and strength.

Car~ma for MM's trip today.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

You are incredibly brave and strong.

I feel exactly the opposite.

Trust us on this one. Your demons may be telling you otherwise, as they do for all of us on some things. But while we're hurting for you, we're also very proud of you, and hopefully some of that will be a help when you're struggling.

The Emotional side will come around eventually. Or, at least tone down to a dull roar of peaceful resignation. This is one of those things that takes time. I hate saying it just as much as I hated having to learn it the hard way.
