Huh. Well you are a hell of a wonderful adult.
Hauser: You really think you can solve the problem? Come into Wolfram & Hart and make everything right? Turn night into glorious day? You pathetic little fairy. Angel: I'm not little.

[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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok - I ballsed up and talked to boss about other boss' comment (even though I work for both, I directly report to boss.). She laughed and said that it has been part of the ongoing conversation about what my "new" position is going to entail and really cementing down the details and she can't remember how long that conversation has been going on. "Eighteen months" says I. "Eighteen months? Wow. Thank you so much for being so patient with us. Wow. Ok."
I imagine my position will change a lot again over the coming months, but I really want there to be a concrete description. And a raise.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My mother was always the one to give the lie to thinking you had cute kids--she was notorious for thinking me ugly, and when other people boasted about their kids, she was always ho-hum about us.
Doesn't mean she didn't love us. I kinda liked it.

Tempting, but I've done that one; they turn into teens.
We were all perfect in every way to our mother, dad not so much. We were ok because we were my mom's and he adored her. I think I am somewhat objective about the boys. I see their awesome qualities as clearly as their deep flaws. Love them even when they disappoint or anger me.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I was generally wonderful in my dad's eyes. He would occasionally phone me, out of the blue, just to say he'd been thinking of me and wanted to let me know how proud he was of me.
Mom, nsm.
Eh, one's more than a lot of people get, so I still count myself pretty lucky.
