Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[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.

This is also me. I just feel up for the occasional snark and run.

The status is NOT quo.
Suzi, Bev, Sail, and Ginger are me. (Lucky me!) I've been immersed in grading and comment-writing and general end-of-the-quarter insanity, so I barely have time to pop in and rarely offer comments of much substance. Sorry about that. Miss you all.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I surmise y'all are out enjoying the real world, for which I am jealous!
hah! I'm busy trying to keep myself from telling the paying customers that there's no "the" in Watchmen.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've been doing laundry and icing my shoulder. Not terribly interesting.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
meara, I am sorry to hear that the relationship is in a death spiral, but honestly? You NEED a relationship where the other person recognizes your utter fabulousness and feels lucky to find herself in a relationship with you. Accept nothing less.
You remind me of myself sometimes in the trying so hard to make the relationship work. And I'll admit a long term relationship is hard, but the hard part isn't keeping it going. The keeping it going is a given. The hard part is not driving each other crazy.

Ay. Just talked to her on the phone, and...death spiral is dead.

I'm so sorry meara. I wish I were there to offer you hugs in person. But I know you have great friends up there.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Aww, sweetie. I'm so sorry.
But you're doing the right thing and your life is going to be better without this. It's okay for it to hurt, but you're marvelous and you're going to have an awesome future regardless.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
So many lovely people on the lurk and nod bench. Wheeeee.
I did something to my shoulder and it hurts like heck. I have the heating pad on it and I'm hoping tomorrow it will feel better.
Today was beauty day for me. Got a mani/pedi (green french on the fingers and green on the toes). I also got my hair cut and colored. I have had a salon color job in yonks. Moving away from the red and went for a rich dark brown.
