Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

'Dirty Girls'


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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Well, if Chicago is any example, hell does seem to be freezing over.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Though those signs are [she said waggishly] preaching to the choir in this city. Or at least among my peer cohort

There's really a predominant school of thought that religion makes individuals worse people? Most of the angry atheists I know personally are careful to rail against the institution, not the individual, and it's not like all of them have a bug in their ears.

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

Maybe not predominant with such aggressive wording, but definitely an unspoken base assumption among my peer cohort (which is admittedly a small, weird one). I've had several people express open shock at finding out I believe in God, because I'd always come across to them as so intelligent and reasonable.

The Bay Area is weird, though. You can't really extrapolate from this place to anywhere else on the planet.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

"Magical beliefs"? What's magic about them?

Prayer specifically, the story of Christ, the idea of the holy ghost. Religion is myth and superstition. That that fills a need for some people, the majority of people even, isn't a net good or bad, but I do feel that I am expected to be ok with myth and superstition governing my life.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Hil, that's great (if appalling that it's taken so long).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

WOOHOO!
