You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

[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 look more rad than Lutheranism

Last post, and I'm out the door. It's supposed to be 100 today. What fresh hell.

The air quality is fucking awful (seriously, it's like, take a respirator before you leave the house, and watch out for the smog monster), and I've been using my inhaler. Which is both ironic and appropriate, I suppose.

I hope today's as easy it can be for you guys, Steph.

I was reading the work rants yesterday thinking ‘gosh, and work’s been going so well for me lately, shouldn’t complain'. AHAHAHAHAH. At half past twelve today I was ‘volunteered’ to give a talk to fifteen interested media types, who may be filming me (?!?!) and taking notes. When is this talk you say? Why, at half two! Why would someone need preparation time for something like this?

Sweet fuckity bollocks.

{{Teppy and Tim}} You guys have all my sympathy. Standing vigil is hard, but well worth it, I think. I got to do that with my aunt and it made it much easier to let go when we could see how ready to go she was.

All is well that ends in pizza.

My condolences to Teppy and the Boy and family.

It's a few degrees sadder when the good ones go.

Ann, that's a ferret.

((((Teppy, Boy, and family))))

There's a certain comfort in post-death rituals. Knowing that you now have to do X, Y, and Z means you can just do them without thinking. Which isn't the worst thing in the world at a time when you really aren't up to thinking.

Much peace to you, The Boy, and his family, Steph.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Teppy, my deepest sympathies to you and Tim and his family.

My condolences to you, Tim and his family, Teppy.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Special snowflake CALLS within 5 minutes and even said "I know you said not to call, but I'm so upset for you guys!"

OMFG. People. ::thwaps::

Sweet fuckity bollocks.

I'm so stealing that. And it sucks that you got no prep time.
