I'm so sorry, Daisy.
I've tried to march in the Slayer Pride Parade ...

[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Um, Seska, I have been there and lived through it. I wish you as staunch and loving a partner as I had, and that your prospective in-laws see reason sooner than later.

You're all lovely (and that's absolutely not just the vodka talking. hic). Thanks all for the wisdom.

I am just a little bit in love with Conan O'Brien right now. And by a little bit, I mean a whole big bunch. It's his last show, and his final speech was classy, moving and heartfelt. He refused to bash NBC and he gave mad love to his staff and crew and his fans. I have a new respect for him.
I still hate Will Farrell and am sad that his idiocy was the end of Conan's show.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh, I can watch that because I am left coastal! And awake because I slept for a few hours earlier.

Morning all. We're opting out of life for a day. Going to find a pub in the countryside. It's mostly a way to postpone big life decisions, but it's Saturday and we're going for a drive.

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.
Finding a pub in the countryside sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday.
Thanks again for all the birthday wishes!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
{{{Seska}}} Many vibes, and may you find a good snug pub that's just right for an afternoon of quiet utter escape. (Or noisy rowdy steam-letting-off escape if you find you need that more.) I'm sorry The Girl's family is so awful, and sorry they can't see the excellence of you, and utterly mystified that the most important thing to them isn't simply that their Girl is well and loved and cherished and happy.
If you truly love and respect your child--the actual fully adult human your child has grown into, not whatever you might have imagined or expected when zie was tiny--what more can you possibly want than that?

Hello, I am skipping again.
I'm scanning hundreds of old family photographs, (circa) 1930 - 1970. Some are freaking awesome. One is from the late 19th century. Some are horrifying. And now I can tell the difference between Hungarian, Polish and German, though I can't tell wtf is written there. Some of are from the 60's in U.S., with my dad and grandparents. Some are from my dad's step-dad life, so we have no idea who these people are (but we have some clues. One is that he had a Swedish girlfriend. Other is that he was in Iraq during WW2, as a captain in the RAMC. Another is that he spent some time in America, and we have two wonderful pictures from there). Another was named by us "The Sisters of the Alpine Monastery", and when I'll upload them all to Flickr you'll see why.
This is taking freaking ages, and I cannot believe on how many different countries they were taken in, but I'm enjoying this.
I see a lot of brackets in the past 10-15 posts, so I'd like to offer ~ma to those who need it, too.
Edit: saw K and D's LOVELY pictures. I might got a little teary. You are one hell of a beautiful couple.
