Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.
'Destiny'
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Seska, that's awesome!
Kate, understandable! And I am kinda surprised that you haven't had the pangs, hard, already. It's so hard to leave places behind even when the next place is spectacular.
Thanks, javachik. It's not the first time I've felt little pangs of homesickness, but they've been strong these last couple of days. I think having seen lots of friends while I was home over the holidays is making their absence in my life more noticeable now.
So if the aliens were going to create a world for you based on a book, which book would you want them to have?
Ooh, that's tough. But since I'm reading Laura Miller's wonderful The Magician's Book right now, I might have to go with Narnia. Or the Doctor's universe... but I'm half-convinced that's where we live already.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I might have to go with Narnia.
I was thinking The Horse and His Boy - borders of Archenland and Narnia. That being the Golden Age of Narnia, and Archenland being a friendly neighbor, it would be a good time and place.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
So if the aliens were going to create a world for you based on a book, which book would you want them to have?
I'd take Muppet-verse. Or Discworld-verse. Or Hitchhiker-verse.

My oldest sister has started a blog about her medical saga. If I haven't mentioned it here before, she was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of uterine cancer. Her latest update has her on her 4th week of chemo, and her oncologist is using the word "pleased". As she says, " It has been a long time since "pleased" has been part of a conversation regarding my health." And talk has begun about the post-chemo stage. There hadn't been any talk before now about post-chemo.
My brain has always run to a stuttering halt when thinking about this, but there may be, if not hope, then the potential for something less awful than feared.

Connie that's amazing! I'm glad there's a glimmer of something other than complete dread there.

I hope there's a good long post-chemo period for which to plan, Connie.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Wonderful news, Connie!
TCG's sleep study for tonight was canceled because insurance won't cover it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad for less awfulness, Connie!
Life in the Muppet-verse sounds pretty good. I think I would be at home on the Discworld.
