But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

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.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I know nobody cares about this, but I don't have anybody to ask -- can I go with Cohen's "Anthem" as a theme song, or is it too pretentious and I should go with Apple's "Extraordinary Machine" instead?

I know neither of those songs, Emily. I had thought about your question, but I didn't think you wanted your theme song to be country :).

Well, if we assume no one will know either of the songs, I guess the question is: do I want to submit the lyrics "Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack, a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in" or "I still only travel by foot and by foot, it's a slow climb/But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so/I can't stop changing all the time"?

What country song, by the way? I tell you, everybody I eat lunch with was thinking country. The other question is about most memorable concert, and they were all mentioning Garth Brooks and Martina McBride. Me, it's all "Far-left probably lesbian bands you've never heard of." And synth-pop.

"I still only travel by foot and by foot, it's a slow climb/But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so/I can't stop changing all the time"

I like this one.

I'll probably go with that, then. Of course, I also wish I could think of something really metal or goth.

I agree.

Of course you do! See, this is why you don't want my country suggestions!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

"Anthem" is such a wonderful song, though.

Dang, I probably could have made some metal suggestions. I'm sorry I missed. Though I do like the lyrics you have there.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So, for Trudy, a brief collection from the archives of Birthday wishes from 7 years ago.

Awww, Laura! Thank you!!! And so many sweet pixels we don't really see anymore.

S is off the ventilator.

BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT I HAVE EVER FREAKIN' GOTTEN!!!!!!

CJ and I took a drive to get dinner and BLASTED music both ways. Ahhh, that felt good.

Awww, your poor kid. He gets mad and goes off to his room to blast loud music and you just start head-bangin'. Glad your Mom is doing better.

When Juliana starts her band, Matt says JZ can borrow a base. No stickers,but baby sticky fingers are fine

ROCK that, JZ!
