[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.

I'm actually doing ok. While his behavior was the catalyst on Saturday, the decision was mine. And I was especially glad of the decision when he clarified that, "You aren't trying hard enough to better your life," actually meant, "You aren't accomplishing enough."

It's probably bitchy of me to share that, but I'm feeling a little bitchy right now.

Don't get me wrong. He's a good guy. I mean him no ill will. I wish him the best, and I bet we'll actually stay in touch. But, ugh. I thought he knew me, and I think he doesn't.

Oh, also! He gave me some financial advice. I shouldn't be so giving.

Oh, ugh, vw. I'm glad you're doing OK, and I'm sorry it worked out this way.

Our wings are not tired.

You aren't trying hard enough to better your life

!!! I'm sorry, vw. But seriously this man does not know you very well. I'm sorry for your pain, but he is so far off base here.

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

In other completely unrelated news, I saw my shrink today, and he commented that the skin on my face looked really irritated, and he wondered if it was from the CPAP. I said, "Yeah, probably." And he said, "You need to get that checked out. Your skin looks like it's eroding."

Um, thanks?
