Pix, that's amazing. There you go, independent verification of how awesome you and ND are.

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Pix, that's lovely.
There's probably a Someecard for it.
Or you could make your own.

The status is NOT quo.
Ironically, I doubt we could afford the mortgage (she bought at he height of the market, and I know we pay less in rent than she pays in mortgage), and we wouldn't be able to sell in this market, so that is one of many reasons why I hope it becomes a sweet gesture and nothing more. Still, such an incredible concept.

I feel the same way about the friend and her ex who made me guardian of their son should anything happen to them. I was appropriately humbled and then gulped a big gulp. Thankfully, he's nearly 21 and it is no longer an issue but, yeah. Big deal.
Oh, and I totally agree that this is s testament to your supreme awesomeness.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Is it pointless to watch Torchwood on DVD if I've never seen Dr. Who?
I don't think so. Mmmm, Jack.
That is a lovely gesture, Pix.

They asked first and talked about it, right? Because that is a huge thing. And huge things (even Pix's lovely gesture) that are the transfer of responsibility should be questions before they are put into legal documents, I think.

Also, I'm no miss manners. But I was brought up to think it rude to thank living people for putting you in their will. Probably a denial thing and not contemporary etiquette. I mean wedding registers also go strongly against stuff I was taught, but they are the custom and thus good manners today.

Oh yes, we talked about it a few times...and I talked to him. Fortunately, everyone was in agreement that, should it come to pass, things would be different for him. He respects me though, so it was a good thing.
I won't lie, I gave it a good long think.

Good Lord, bonny, how irresponsible would you be if you HADN't given it a good long think? That's pretty damn huge, if an honor to be asked.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
my dad and stepmother asked me to be a backup guardian for my little sister once i had a stable job and place to live. i was terrified and agreed only on the terms that there are at least 2 other options before i become a guardian. Of course i would do everything i possibly could for her... but i am not a parent by choice and don't particularly think shipping a teenager across the country to live with me and my cats would be good for her in the event of tragedy wiping out 3 parental units and 2 sets of more appropriate guardians.
