Buffy ,'The Killer In Me'
[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 was in a discussion about how I was moving from Agnostic towards Atheism, mostly in a joking way about how I really just needed to make up my mind. But the discussion was a good one, with a lot of people chiming in.
When DH says we're Agnostic, I tell him we're just Atheists who can't commit.
Somebody refresh my memory - WHY do we clear snow out of our driveways? It's not just a silly superstition, is it?

Because Mr. Plow looks sexy in that jacket?
That name again is Mr. Plow.
See, he needs to get over himself, acknowledge that Christmas is Christian, but admit that he likes it anyway. Trust me, it will be ok.
Many atheists who were raised in religious households are very adamant about which god/s they don't believe in, is the thing. To a certain kind of ex-Christian atheist, Christmas can't be about Christ, because THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN HIM ANYMORE LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOOUUUUUUUUUU. And it sounds like Hil's co-worker (?) roots his atheism pretty firmly in a non-belief in Jesus.
(Since I was raised Jewish, neither Christmas nor Jesus had anything to do with my eventual realization that I was an atheist - they pretty much stayed just as irrelevant as they ever were, you know? The bits of mainstream atheism that are about being pissed off at Christianity go right over my head.)
Merry Anything, Everything, or Nothing at all!
Surely a crying Baby Jesus is Mary's problem? I have my own kid to worry about.
I kinda want to tag that.
I've only just begun the Christmas decorations, but a few shots are here [link]
I like it all. I have a nativity scene in the front yard. I'm a big fan of the baby Jesus, Santa, trees, lights, presents, and lots of yummy treats.
I went to the department secretary to ask about the recommendation she said she didn't receive. She pulled out the folder to show me that there was only one recommendation, two pages. I pointed out that each page had printing on the front and the back, and that those two pages where actually two recommendations, and she had just read the front of one and the back of the other.
So, I have that recommendation now. Still don't have one from my advisor.

Hee - fine by me.

I . . . don't know what to say. Other than how did you manage not to smack her?
I have to go to a Deans and Directors Luncheon today. Where some suckup will undoubtedly leap to his feet to raise a glass to asshole!boss for his service. And I will have to try not to puke.
good follow through Hil!

Despite being raised in a sorta Christian househould, it goes over mine too. It seem to me there might be another religion or two out there that wants to be the one true religion.
ION, Matt and I have been together for 20 years today
