Vortex, they didn't have interviews scheduled past this week at the time I interviewed, which means these are candidates they decided to pursue after meeting me and seeing me teach.
I don't mean to be a downer. Sorry.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

[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.

The status is NOT quo.

See! You know I'm totally right if Jilli says the same thing.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I read all the posts. I have no energy for responding. Interview~ma for Hil and yay Torchwood for Shir and that's all I can manage. I was at the polls for five hours today, taking down people's random numbers (it was vaguely in aid of the Lib Dems), with far larger crowds than I've ever seen before. Right now the exit polls are depressing and suggest that my little party has actually lost seats. I'm hoping the universe will forgive me and become a better place while I sleep. I'm watching QI.

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
{{{Pix}}} You're still in the running, lady!
Just poking in to say I had a really scary Supernatural/Gilmore Girls dream the other night. WTF? "Rory's in trouble!" Good Lord, my head is a silly place.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Oh damn.
A teenage brother of an so-called internet-friend person, who is still close enough, is dying. Like, dying-dying, final hours.
What's acceptable? I'm pretty sure we'll be able to come up with his address to get flowers to be sent there, but I'm not sure if it's a custom, and anyhow, it seems too little. So too little.

Shir, nothing is too little. I remembered being overwhelmed by the number of my friends who just came to my dads service. Any gesture is appreciated and will be remembered.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Thanks. He's of course overseas, and he will have to fly in and out of the country for the service (they lived in separate continents), so there's not much we can do.
Yicks. His death is so weird.

This.
I am so sorry.

Oh, Shir, I am so sorry.
And to Pix, I'm also sorry that the people at Potential School did not realize your awesomeness right away, but I'm holding out hope! It sucks, though, in the interim, no doubt about it.
