Your character arc has been impressive, Mr. Tea.
I'm glad to hear Ryan's all better though I'm pretty sure we could've skipped the part where you get a hacking cough.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

[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.

It's true! I remember much misery and sadness from BT, and it's wonderful to see how amazingly and happy your life has turned out to be.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I don't think I could say it better than bonny did. We love to see you so happy, billytea.
I really need to go into work today, but there's a cookout I really want to go to that starts in an hour. And of course, if I had been more focused at work, I probably wouldn't need to go in. Oh well.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Billytea rocks mightily.

(It was my birthday. The fail was thinking I would enjoy the attention of a mariachi band and an entire restaurant.)
Pete would kill me. And then possibly explode of embarrassment. Unlike my Dad, who has been known to wave mariachi bands over to the table so he can sing along with them. No birthday required.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
When I called the nurse on Friday to request a refill of my anxiety meds, on top of being rude to me, said that she would call me back if she was able to get me the prescription. She never did, and I was having a good time, so I let it go. Today, I decided to call the pharmacy just to check, and she did call it in but never called me to tell me about it. Idiot.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
is it bad to think "I wonder what Pete would like with explodey head from embarrassment"? Part of me would like to see that, and yet, the fear of the consequences keeps me from going there. Plus, that would mean I would need to hear the mariachi band as well.
bt - sorry to hear about the ick. But lovely to hear the great update.

Angry. It would be very, very angry. Pete does not like surprise parties either. He very seriously explained this to me, which is why I NEVER EVER plan them for him.
Me, I love surprises. Once, when I was out with co-workers at Claim Jumper, one of the managers decided our table needed free cake, so told the server that it was my birthday. (It wasn't.) The waitstaff brought over a piece of cake that was longer than my arm, and sang a birthday-type song to the tune of the Addams Family.

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.
I may be more thankful that none of my waitressing gigs occurred in places which would have required me to learn insane-o non-"Happy Birthday" songs than I am thankful to share bt's joy. But not by much. And? It's a totally different kind of gratitude.
Still, I think that a birthday song to the tune of the Addams Family theme song would possibly be the Jilli-est b-day song.
