[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.

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Thanks, y'all. I'm slowly shifting over into a "what happens, happens; deal, BITCA!" phase, but I had to have a day of WTFuckeryOMGFlailSnarlCry.

The status is NOT quo.
Crap, Erin, I'm sorry to hear that.
----
So I know I've been quiet and kind of vague on Facebook about potential changes in my life, but the short version is that I'm applying for a new job that kind of terrifies me. I mean, any job change terrifies me, but this is a doozy. There's an opening at a girls' school ten minutes from my house...for the Director of the Upper School. And I'm applying. I don't know if I have a chance or if I even want it, but it's a possibility.
I'm also applying for a potential maybe not sure if it exists yet job at another Pasadena school for a regular English position, but this school pays WAY better than my current school and is also ten minutes away rather than on the other side of LA.
I love my current school, but four years of this commute is killing me. I have to do something, if not this year, than next.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oooh, Headmistress Pix!!
(More seriously, I kinda figured the handwavy life stuff was some job thing, and I hope that one way or another you can get a better commute.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I was thinking it had to be job stuff. and I think closer would be way better, esp with your insomnia issues. Good luck.
and Good luck to you Erin. It is bad enough to be in that situation - and worse when it is someone els's situation - and even worse when the main cause is really not someone you can have any influence over. Sending you peaceful thoughts

Our wings are not tired.
Getting rid of the commute would be a wonderful thing. Best hopes that the right position happens.
