It's a good read.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

Okay, this is a more serious question. What is the best charity to donate to for polar bears? The jackass thing was fun to think about but way too transparent. But the polar bear thing - I really, really want to do something there, and the fact that I can do good for something that means a lot to me instead of buying some crap for someone I'm pissed at - yay. The "you fucking motherfucker" part will be totally between us!
It's a family drama Christmas miracle!

Our wings are not tired.
{{msbelle}} I'm sorry he is being a poopy head. I promise it will get better, or as my mom always says when I moan about the boys, this too shall pass.

Aw hell, msbelle. Not a professional, but it sounds like maybe you should just leave it until morning. Stay firm for now, deal with the fallout when you aren't reacting to the immediacy. And feel free to tell me to shove it, okay?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, msbelle.
Well, this was a cheery day in Natter to catch up on, between Brittany Murphy and ita's cousin. Stupid world.
I was off having a lovely birthday party for my father.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, guys.
Happy birthday, Jesse's father!
msbelle, I have no suggestions at all. This fully illustrates what you meant about not putting gifts out. And it's not like you have any therapist appointments or their ilk between now and the 25th, huh?
Perkins, what a gutter mind you have! There's totally some sort of plaque attached to that shaft. It's no more than an ornamental dildo, at best.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, crap, msbelle. I'm so sorry. Also, sarameg is wise (unless you need to tell her to shove it, in case I'll shove it too).

I may regret it in the morning, but I doubt it. The ornaments are all off and put away as are my stocking and the few non tree decorations. His stocking is still out, I'm not a complete bitch.
He has completely ruined Christmas for me. And I will not buy him gifts to be given on an actual gift day again. we will go together with a set budget some day prior to events and buy whatever the fuck he wants, because it is all about him getting exactly what he wants and having every ounce of control and while we can't function like that all day everyday we sure are going to try to squeeze every bit of the available time to be all him.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am so sorry, msbelle.
