Seska, it is quite cold here, I'm just enjoying the quiet of a summer spot in the off season.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

[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.

I believe a sense of humor is going to be essential to get through the day.
I believe it's always an essential.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I'm not sure I'd take that risk myself
That's the problem. I'm now almost down to 13,000, but that's still a few percent over the 5% upper limit. If that gets me marked down, and pushes me out of the range of a distinction, that could put paid to my ambitions for getting PhD funding. I'm not securely enough into the overall distinction range, with my other results, to risk it. If I were, I absolutely would. (I hate that my ambitions for the next few years, and possibly beyond that, are going to be dependent on a few percentage points in a result for a single dissertation...!)
Talking of papers, how's yours going, Shir?
Wishing you sense-of-humo(u)r~ma, smonster.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Planning this is like solving riddles about crossing rivers with a wolf, a goat and a sack of grain.
At least you know it's possible, if convoluted.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Well, crap. I just twisted the hell out of one of my ankles while a ways from home. Luckily, a friend was able to come over and pick me up. Said awesome friend also got me ice, helped me elevate the ankle, brought me ibuprofen, and found my ace bandages. I haven't put that on, yet. Is it something that needs to happen right away? I just found a position that doesn't hurt as much as the others, and I'm loath to disturb it before I have to.
Stupid me—I thought I'd be all healthy and walk down town to do some stuff. Bah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bandage ASAP, Calli. You want to limit the opportunity for it to swell. Also, ouch.

Noted and done. And ouch.
I'm so glad I don't live in a 3rd floor walk-up any more. That climb would have sucked.

Ouchies, Calli. Swift healing to your ankle.
