{{{{ Vortex }}}} are you ok? Seems like the world is wanting to piss ya off this week. I hope your weekend is full of soothing things.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

[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.

So, I guess eventually something crap had to happen to ruin my week. A friend's ex-girlfriend who he was still very close to (he was basically always taking care of her crazy, asshole self) killed herself last night. He's a mess, my friend B was with him last night until 2, probably going to be with him the rest of the weekend and go to the funeral.
I knew her-hated her-but knew her, so I have no idea what I'm even going to say when I call this afternoon besides, "I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do to help?"
The only thing that saved me from being completely melancholy is my sister's "facebook dance" which she posted a video of last night.

DJ, I think all you can do is offer sympathy and comfort. And support.

{{{DJ and friends}}} I'm so sorry for you friend. He is lucky he has good people like you to help him through this.

And Vortex - do we need to take you out for booze to soften the pain of the stupidity?

I'd probably be a much better person if I weren't thinking, "That is *so* like her."
Haven't said it out loud, even to B who thought she was a crazy asshole too.

You're allowed to think it, and you have us so that you have someone you can safely "say" it to.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
{{DJ & friend}}. And yeah, good to say those things here to relieve the pressure and avoid blurting them where you shouldn't. You are a good friend, and your sympathy and caring are all you can offer. And your friend is lucky to have that from you.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Dear Santa -
I would like Jeffery Dean Morgan for Christmas.
Kthxbye.
Love, Aimee
PS - I'd be willing to share.

If people are going to lie, at least lie about something that isn't so easy to check up on.
Yes, he needs to learn an important life lesson about how to lie. He either needs to say he mailed the application by U.S. mail and it was returned; his crazy neighbor keeps stealing packages; or someone died.
I'd probably be a much better person if I weren't thinking, "That is *so* like her."
I am a bad person too, because when my cousin's wife's grandson killed himself, that's what I thought about him. It's a terrible thing for her friends and family.
