Do they roll well? Maybe you can smoke them. I bet they have less tar than menthol Marlboro's.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Ew, menthol tissues are teh ick.
Couldn't sleep last night. Demons were eating my brains.
Have to do actual work today. Even though I am not in Portland.
Also, probably have to have relationship talk today. Am not good at those. May have to have it with someone who is worse at them than me. Someone save me.
Agree that radio silences are usually best, even if I'm not always good at them.
Got home last night and my computer had eaten my WiFi. Must go post in Tech about it.
Good luck with research and x-rays, Hil. Neither sounds superfun right now to me...
Calli, why on EARTH would your boss think WORK would get done at the holiday party?!?!

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.
I love the menthol tissues.
I know, I'm not quite right.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
vw, what everyone said. First, it's remarkable to see how you're rationalizing this (and I don't mean it in a bad way). And second, as others have said here, it doesn't feel like it's my business, but I'm a little bit worried.
A lot of sanity~ma to you. And to the ex as well.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
VW, the problem with breakups where the former couple want to maintain the friendship is that, well, usually, you need a transitional period of non-contact to let the rough edges of emotion heal over. (The one exception I've really seen to this are established, long-term couples who decouple on realizing they've already unofficial made the transition to Just Friends.)
Good luck, to both of you.

And, seekrit message for omnis: you're so much a better person than I am for blushing. Hell, I love our show, and the encouraging you or any other Buffista to get out (or stay in) and get some. You're just responding better than others to my teasing.

Target's evil.
I succumbed to the awfulness and bought the sing-a-long Mama Mia! DVD.
I don't CARE if Pierce Brosnan sounds like a goat in heat while singing. I'm going to pretend I'm cavorting on a Greek island. Hopefully one sans riots.

OK, help me out here Buffistas: I am not good with the explaining. But I know there's gotta be a website out there that is.
Last night I was with some people. Friends of friends. And one of them, straight up, told me a racist joke.
A joke about black people.
I was like "....you did not just tell me that joke. Please don't tell jokes like that around me ever again. I don't think that's funny. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and ASSUME that you are not telling that joke to be racist, but please don't ever do that again"
...AND THEN I HAD TO GET INTO AN ARGUMENT WITH SOME FRIENDS ABOUT WHY RACIST JOKES ARE DIFFERENT THAN OTHER HUMOR.
About why I would think it's OK for the lesbians in the room to tell a joke about a second date and a UHaul, and think THAT's funny, but NOT think it's OK for the white girl to tell a joke about black people to an entirely white audience.
WHAT THE FUCK?
I don't even remember what kind of justifications they tried to give (other than...trying to make me seem uptight and humorless?), but...
