This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

and maybe even better than I have in at least a year.

That is really good to hear, Andi.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That's good news, Andi

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

I'm feeling better than I was before I went to the hospital, and maybe even better than I have in at least a year.

Now that just makes my day. Thank you for sharing it.

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

Andi, it's great to hear you're feeling better. I hope it continues. (I had mac and cheese last night, that The Girl brought me back from Texas, and I thought of lovely you with your gift-giving!)

I would be way too chicken to ask someone out via email. The wait would kill me.

Well, I've only asked out the one person. But the several-hour wait for the response was a bit awful. Still better than asking face-to-face, or on the phone, though. I am a strange sort of coward. (The Girl said no, first, by the way. I'm practicing telling the story for the wedding reception.)

I wouldn't break up with someone any way except face-to-face, though. Notes or e-mails in that situation would suck.

Cass, I hope the urge to smash head against wall has passed.

Poor dalmatian, Teppy - I hope she's OK.

I have broken up with someone over IM before. But y'know, we chatted a lot. And it was falling apart. And it wasn't the INTENTION, but...it happened. (I believe there was a phone call in there also once we sorta realized it was happening, but I wouldn't swear to it)

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

Ah, IM is different from most forms of text-communication, imo.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm feeling better than I was before I went to the hospital, and maybe even better than I have in at least a year.

That is excellent news to wake up to.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I hope Chloe passes the knife bits safely and soon.

Glad you're feeling better, Andi.

Have I mentioned my good news here? It looks like I'll probably be going to the south of France for a week this coming fall. I've never been to France before, and the place we're going looks absolutely lovely! [link] A bunch of us have been discussing it since around Christmas, and yesterday one of us reserved the rooms, so it looks like it'll actually happen.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Andi, I am so flad to hear how well you're doing.

Teppy quick plastic passing ~ma to your doggy.

I am watching G today. He is officially at that stage where he asks why every 5 seconds.

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.

Calli, that looks lovely! I hope you have a wonderful time.

sj, yeah... I got nuthin. But Why-time has to be better than when everything is No!
