I called home to tell my mom and was crying so hard I couldn't even get it out. When I finally told her in a way she could understand, she could barely speak. Sarah and I have been friends since we were 12. She lived at my house and me at hers. We shared our parents with each other. I can't even wrap my brain around this.

[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

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

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

ChiKat, I echo the sympathy. That's really horrible.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
ChiKat, that's awful news. I'm so sorry.

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.
Oh, no, ChiKat. How heartbreakingly sudden. Too sudden. I'm so sorry. Many brackets to you and all who love Sarah.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm so sorry, Chi. God. What a loss. Her poor kids. Her poor husband.
