Failure of character, I guess. But there's a whiff of it not being right.
Yeah, well, even grit gets washed away under a steady flow. Your river's been over its banks for a long time now.
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

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?
But there's a whiff of it not being right.
What's not right is having to deal with the amount of pain you have to consistently deal with.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
What Hec and ChiKat said, ita. It's not a failing to be in pain. Or if it's a failing, it's not of your will or your rectitude--it's just flesh. And beyond a certain point, our flesh is outside our control.
I wish I could fix things for you. If good wishes meant anything, certainly all the Buffistas would have fixed you by now. Darn it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm just beyond pissed that I've felt I had to go into the ER every three or four days.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Criminal minds: they let Hotchner smile! Only for a second, but still!

Always Anti-fascist!
I wish House was real, ita. Because I think you could use one. And that episode would rock, too. I don't know how I feel about Botox. It just makes me sad sometimes to see people trying for something and missing the mark so desperately. Like the local news anchor who looks like molded plastic, but who probably thinks she looks great.

Tnanks, erika. That would be worth tolerating House for.
Happy birthday, CaBil!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Another person born in the summer of '61? My big sister.
I wouldn't assume that a person who opts for botox feels like his/her face has been "hideously disfigured" by age. I mean, I've made my peace with my crows feet, but I do understand why a gal might want to soften them for a few months.
ita I can totally understand the anger and frustration at the ER visits occasionally turning inward, but that doesn't make it true.
