I JUST GOT A LETTER SAYING THAT MY FUNDING FOR TEACHING SUPPORT WORKERS HAS BEEN APPROVED.
I nearly cried.
I need to buy The Girl something very lovely. Ideas welcome.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay, Seska! That is the best news I have heard in ages.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oh Jilli - I am so so sorry. MM, Em, and I are sending our love and thoughts to you and your Dad and Pete.

Jilli, my deepest condolences. I'm so sorry. Wishes and mas to you, Pete and your dad.
Also, Erin, much ~ma to Mason and his family. I'll try and send a card to that boy.

And now, after much skipping and much skimming for having a very busy week:
HUGE CONGRATS, SESKA!
Also, I read some of 300 posts ago. Andi, it's good to read about your tries and experiences. I still hold you in my thoughts and brackets. And I was also thrilled to read about Nate's achievements. Wow!

Seska, that's awesome! I'm so glad the system came through for you, even if you had to jump through some hoops.
Congrats to CJ!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Wonderful news, Seska! I'm sorry they ground you down so badly before helping you, but good on them for finally coming through.

{{{{{Shir}}}}} Thank you. It is always good to see you, whenever you have time to look in here.

This is the power of speaking up. I'm so proud of you, and of what you have accomplished.
For my birthday, Daniel just gave me a lovely turquoise pendant (it came with a chain, but it is too short for me to use) and turquoise earrings to match. He is now making birthday brownies.
