Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even 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.

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.

Happy birthday a day late, Omnis!

I just can't help to think from time to time she just wished to see me with someone. Male, female, doesn't even matter to her at that point*.

Heh, if you did pair off with a female, why then her potential grandchildren could have TWO Jewish mothers - what's not to love!

Yesterday she had a full-out tantrum when I put her in time out.

From the sound of it, I'd guess there is a 98% chance she has learned that escalating the tantrum gets her what she wants, and a 2% chance that the main problem is in her neurotransmitter balance. This is not counting the possible diagnosed neurotransmitter imbalance that might be the excuse that her parents use to get them out of the responsibility of handling tantrums without giving in.

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

Um. I wonder how many kids they had? Either way. HILARIOUS!

I don't remember if it was four or five. But not none.

Billytea, your Mother should have suggested they try it the other way.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Happy belated natal day, omnis!

I actually signed up to be an election worker this year. As a federally-funded company, my employment makes me fall under the Hatch Act, so I can't actively work for a particular candidate.

But since there were so many newly registered Democrats in VA that some of them weren't able to vote in the primaries due to a shortage of poll workers, I figure my non-partisan participation might actually help a certain candidate, while still being legal.

ANYWAY, I have to be there at 5:00 am and stay until after the polls close, and they pay me $100. I'm planning on bringing my laptop, and/or a book.

I'm sure it varies from place to place. You should call your election board.

Happy birthday!

Not that I want you to be overworked but I'm hoping it'll be too busy for you to look at either!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

However, be prepared-- after this brief honeymoon period, they will then begin to not-so-subtly ask "So, when are you going to be bringing someone by?"

Thanks for the heads up. I'll start thinking about answers.

Happy belated birthday, omnis!
