You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

[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.

Our wings are not tired.

Fair is for fucking five year olds. He need to get the fuck over it.

Ha! This is so true I would use it as a tag, if I used that kind of language, but I don't, so I'll just admire the clarity of the statement.

For some reason I woke up earlier than usual today and took a walk with Brandy around the park. She promptly fell asleep when we got home and is snoring next to me. She was happy to go with me although a bit confused.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Niggardly is a perfectly good word, which we cannot use anymore because so many people are ignorant.

The one which bugs me at the moment is that in all the recorded versions I can find of "Kookaburra Sits In The Old Gum Tree", they've changed "Gay your life must be" into "Happy your life must be". Thank you, Fisher Price, for protecting my infant son from gay kingfishers. Who knows what might have happened otherwise?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I also mourn the loss of the ability to use the word "gay" to mean what it actually fucking means.

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.

(Do you guys know 'Jeeves & Wooster'? Very funny early 90s stuff - worth watching.)

Watching House after mainlining a series of Jeeves and Wooster will cause head implosions. And yet, that doesn't stop me from doing it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I remember hearing rumors at one point that they were going to try to get Stephen Fry to be in an episode of House. Did anything ever come of that? Because that would be brilliant.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Remember my high school friend who recently had a mastectomy? Things are going well for her!

[Name] is officially CANCER FREE! Yay! Pathology report from surgery was good. Small amount of invasion but still early enough that I won't need chemo! Such a relief. They also found three other fairly large areas of cancer throughout the breast that never showed on any of the tests. I'm soooo happy I chose the mastectomy! Thank you all so much for your love and support!

YAY!

That would be brilliant. I might even start watching House again if they managed it.

So glad to hear this!

"Happy your life must be"

!!! Don we now our gay apparel Alas, I can't sing this without getting comments from the boys, then they get mom glares, it's a parental circle thing.

Great news, GC. What a relief.

not your mom's socks.

Congratulations Hil!

GC that's wonderful news for your friend.

Thanks GC & Sparky - yeah... the person who hired me is the person who said 'don't listen to x' and may or may not have a history of pitting people against each other.

I feel like a career making soup cans is in my future.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Amusing things I've noticed today include a sign in Starbucks saying "To protect the quality of our coffee, we ask you not to smoke." Dudes. It's the law that there's no smoking in indoor spaces that are open to the public. It wasn't your idea!

Why. Why. Why. WHY are the university departments I'm researching being so difficult? "Ooh, no, we can't give you access to that information. Or that. Or that. Oh, but here, have some entirely useless stuff instead..." I am on a deadline here - TWO WEEKS to write this sodding dissertation, and I currently have almost no useful results! GAH!

I'm fine. Really. Back to laughing at Starbucks now.

I remember hearing rumors at one point that they were going to try to get Stephen Fry to be in an episode of House. Did anything ever come of that? Because that would be brilliant.

Seriously. Hugh Laurie's done almost nothing without the man hanging around the same show. It would be just weird not to have Fry in at least one episode of House.

Glamcookie, great news about your friend!
