This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Buffy ,'Potential'


Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.  

[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.

Compassionately intolerant

Hey!" so we have apparently taught that the former is the warm up command and the latter is the actual one. Oops.

O.M.G. You have no idea how often I see this! The "sit" command actually requires four iterations of sound before the behavior is expected. Oh yes. We do tend to confuse the little fur folk.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

my boys were so good last night. i was home most of the evening unpacking boxes i mailed to myself from mom's basement and they were almost entirely oblivious to all the fireworks in the neighborhood. A couple times they went over to the window to look outside, but no more aggitated than when one of the neighbor's cats is in my front yard. I enjoyed watching some of the pretty explosions from my window, and they were really LOUD so i'm a little surprised that the cats were not freaking out. Perhaps the mystery of empty cardboard boxes is enough of a distraction? Who knew.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Kate, I'm so sorry. Much strength and peace to your fiance and family.

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

I'm very sorry, Kate. That's awful news.

move out and draw fire

Oh no, Kate, I'm so sorry. I saw the article about the accident. How horrible - all my thoughts are with you and your fiance and his family.

Which cookbook is it?

I don't have it in front of me, but Megan's Meal Memories? Something like that? It was sort of a memorial project for a woman who died suddenly, and sales went to support epilepsy. There are lists of favorite restaurants and markets and such in Melbourne included.

The status is NOT quo.

Damn. Byron is hiding and not eating much. Not eating is a very bad sign for him. Vet in morning.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm so very sorry, Kate. All my prayers are with your fiance and his family.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

vibing that it's just "OMG THERE'S A DAMN PUPPY IN MY HOUSE" stress and nothing more serious, Pix.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm so sorry, Kate. Peace and strength to all the loved ones.

Oh Kate, how awful. All sympathy to you and Mark and his family.

I have become one of you nail polish people after playing with the box of polish at brenda's place--I decided I liked the color I got done this weekend so much I had to hunt it down and buy it. Along with two others. Ay!
