There was nothing nifty about this dude, nor did I sense any kind of ambition to become nifty. Just a lot of, "gee all these things have *happened* to me and I don't know *why*?" After the drugs for sex revelation, he didn't even say, "...but I don't do that anymore," which would strike me as a good first step.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I think of a friend's Ex who asserted that the fact that he shoved her into a wall and punched her in the stomach was okay because after all, they were arguing and he "didn't hit her in the face".
Awww, what a good guy! He sounds like the guys who think they deserve some feminist-of-the-year award since they don't go around raping women.

Yikes, I'm glad for your friend that the word 'Ex' is in there.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Being high on cocaine can do wonders for one's self-confidence, I hear.
Hmm... and Leif does have a lot of energy...
(Sorry, Gud. I'm just amused at the thought of second or third graders using hard drugs).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My friend Miriam is a pediatric nurse. She often posts on message boards that she "gives drugs to small children."

When I worked for a pharmacy I delighted in saying I delivered drugs for a living.

Our wings are not tired.
My kids never fail to be amused when I tell them to take drugs. It would likely not be as funny if they did.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I had a friend who had to very carefully say medicine, not drugs or she would get lectures from her kids

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

I can totally relate to poor lightweight kitty. Upon waking up from anaesthetic, after having my wisdom teeth out, I spent about twenty minutes insisting to my mother that Margaret Thatcher was going to kill us all. It was election season - 1997. Drugs of all sorts make me loopy (and amnesiac).
