Aww, damn, Hil. I hope the stress gets better.
Hey, Jilli--could you give me a call on the phone thinger? I want to bitch about an Evil Empire thing but I can't do it on mail.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

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.

Gah.
Sorry to hear that, Hil.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I know how grad school can get, especially towards the end. Sleep is low & stress is high. A bad combo. If you can, maybe call it a night and get some rest.

I went to the beach a few days ago and felt really relaxed for a while after that. I guess the effect wore off.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Hil, I'm sorry. Such a huge achievement once it's done, but it seems like such a grinding misery getting there. I'm in such awe of anyone who even attempts it.
{{{meara}}} You've already gotten lots of great AD and talky meat advice, so I'm going to just point up at what everyone else said and nod. Plus, yeah, depression itself is brutal on your sex drive, and in the short term (if you even get that side effect at all, which you may not) it's much better to be feeling nonsexual but otherwise generally good than nonsexual and crushed by misery everywhere else too.
But, mostly, just {{{meara}}}. It's been a shitstorm of a year for you, and you don't deserve it and it can ease up any damn time now.
Lastly, it turns out that Matilda is still a total boo and Emmett has gotten seriously handsome.

I'm about to start my sixth year of grad school. This is after four years of college, twelve years of school, one year of kindergarten, and three years of preschool. I have been in school for 25 years now. I think that's just way too much.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Vacations are kinda like booze, that way.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
(Particularly the ones that have evolved to drink tears.)
That is pretty cool, isn't it? Don't worry about the vampire moths, I'm sure your spiders will get them before they can approach you.

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.
Just remember people - spiders are our friends; they eat scorpions.
When did Matilda get to be such a little girl? She was just a baby yesterday, I swear. Emmett, now him I get - in my mind he's half kid and half seasoned pro baseball player, and that photo of the two of them together captures a lot of what that means.
