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.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

Timelies, night shift. (Ah, that takes me back. Are Angus and Moonlit ever seen around these parts? Also, memories of Gus.)
Boo, meara, so sorry about the job thing. About A/Ds, Wellbutrin is a dopamine-enhancer rather than SSRI, and apparently doesn't have some of the SSRI-type side effects (food/sex problems) as a result.

Thanks java! I knew there were a few different ones out there. Will consider when talking to doc.
I feel like if life were not so ridic, would not be feeling like this. Why can't I hand meds or talky meat to the outside forces controlling my life?!? Because really. Oy. This is only about a year and two weeks after the first of the two previous layoffs. Seriously. I think that was like, July 19th of last year?
As I was saying to Kat tonight (who was v. nice and soothing), it's not even about having a regular income, if I get reassigned within the company (though obviously, that would be a nice and reassuring part of it!!!), it's the whole having to learn a new job, too! And that's gonna happen no matter what, it seems. Ay.
Vampire MOTHS? That sounds icky. At least vampire butterflies would sound pretty or something?
And Hil, I so hear you on the stress. And so want some nice beach time. oooh.

But then they lose their 'creatures of the night' shtick.

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?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I killed a spider in the house today. I usually don't do this because it's supposed to be bad luck but it was just an itsy bitsy thing and it built its web in the medicine cabinet on the toothpaste.
