Scrappy, I hope when I grow up I'm as nice a person as she is.
In the meantime, I'm good with evil.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm surprised how many of my high school friends have Facebook, considering they're British. It's the first time I could easily find them online. Adoption is slow, but increasing. They don't seem to do the whole "class of" thing with the same gusto as elsewhere.

That's great Scrappy.
I haven't friended many people from HS, just a few that I sort of stumbled upon. I didn't have a big circle of friends in HS, but I can't really think of anyone who treated me badly. I got a good number of rejects when asking out girls, but I latter realized that was really my fault for asking out the wrong girls and it wasn't like I didn't have any dates. Huh, I had a very un-traumatic HS experience while also being a nerd.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
It's my grade-school tormenters I'd like the apologies from. Things were far worse for me there than in high-school.
Okay, what the hell do you do with these roller things that's so excruciating?
Basically, you sit or lie down on them so you're targeting major muscles or muscle groups (e.g. glutes, hamstrings, quads, back) and roll yourself back and forth on the thing. It's sort of like a self-administered deep massage, and it helps work out tightness, adhesions, etc. It hurts like hell the first few times you do it, but it does a great job of getting the knots out.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
My HS reunion was a few years ago, so there was a big push for everyone to get on Facebook to talk. I was on the committee, so I accepted the requests during the reunion, but defriended/refused a lot of people later. I even have people that I don't remember friending me, and the only thing that we seem to have in common is being in the same 700 member class @@

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's very cool, Scrappy. It was brave of you to extend yourself and risk rejection to make that apology. And very gracious of her to accept it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Scrappy, you were brave and honorable to give her an apology, no matter what the outcome, and it's wonderful that her response was so positive.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So glad you got a good response, Scrappy.

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.
One of the things she said was this, "I don't think any of us were the person we wanted to be in our teens, but we get opportunities to grow and change and if we're smart we take them."
I like her style. And I like happy endings.

Yay! Good for you, and good for her.
