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.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.  

[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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But thanks. It's nice to remember that, and sometimes I don't.

Plus: lost weight, cool new haircut, job success.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I got my hair cut yesterday, too! Everyone's feelin' the spring, evidently.

She did a great job, too. I wasn't loving the previous cut I got -- too layer-y in the back, growing out into a mini-mullet -- and she trimmed and shaped it nicely. The front is a deep-side part asymmetrical, bob chop, angling down from the ears to fall at my chin. Very nice.

She also told me to call and schedule bang trims, and she would keep the back even while I'm growing out those layers. Nice! I LIKE YOU, STYLIST MELANIE!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

You're thinking a little longer in back?

More the opposite. Closer to actual pixie.

I think that would work on you, cause you've got some curls and body. It was a big FAIL on me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So we did a 10K this afternoon and I am so fucking out of shape I am dying. At least there was free beer at the end. It was the only thing that got me across the finish line.

You finished a 10k AND got free beer? You rock!!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I didn't run the whole 10K. We just got to the 3/4 way mark and I had to turn around. But we don't take it that seriously. I did a lot better last year but I stopped training a few weeks ago.

The beer was good, though.

I need to check my stats on how far we actually ran. I'm sure it was like an elephant running the Kentucky Derby.

A 10K is about 3.7 miles, right? I think I could WALK one.

Well, amble.

I endorse this decision.
