You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

[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.

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.

That 'r' is tricky in Hebrew, though. I say it like a French 'r' and The Girl cringes.

Ok, if it's not as much of a French r (which I can manage reasonably well) as smonster's comments led me to think - Shir - which Americanization would you prefer: just "she" totally leaving off any form of consonent at the end, or "Sheer", or "Shi(French r)"? So I can practice up?

I can sort of manage the Hebrew r. Not totally, though. I have more trouble with it at the end of words than in the middle -- I can say Shira or Shiri more easily than I can say Shir.

Just got a rejection email. Not from a job I'd interviewed for -- from a job I'd applied for and then never heard from again until now. So that leaves somewhere around 125 that I haven't heard from yet.

I am, however, surprised at how often I am asked to spell my first name.

I always ask people how to spell their names. John Smith? Jon Smythe is a completely legit alternative. As to your first name, this guy has a alternate spelling (admittedly one that is often a feminine variation, but not always). [link]

The status is NOT quo.

Dammit. Drew's mom is back in the hospital with a bad infection. Health ~ma for her and coping ~ma for Drew would be appreciated.

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

Oh, man. I hope his mother is okay.

Pix--I didn't mean to skip past your coffee post of earlier. You're right--my weekends are a crapshoot. If you're okay with the idea of something last minute, I can let you know if a weekend looks good. But they're usually very quiet around here.

Our wings are not tired

Thanks for the well wishes. At least it looks treatable. First call I got this morning was that they were worried she'd had a stroke, at least it wasn't that, just a really bad infection that was leading to some dementia.
