Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Frank, ~ma to your nephew.

We are just done with our new year's dinner, and it was a very nice one. L'shana tova, all!

Shir, it's unlikely, but would that have anything to do with the Jewish story about the man whose rabbi advises him to move his goats into his house? The Girl likes that story. When we get overwhelmed, we talk about "too many goats."

As you wrote, I think it's unlikely. More likely, it was an advertising campaign that invented that slogan few years back. And that story is a definitive story of Jewish humor.

Are they pronounced differently?

Almost unheard difference for a stranger.

Shir, congratulations on the DJ gig. How cool.

It is, but it's still not 100% that I'll get it. I just was invited to do a pilot. Thank you, anyway. I'm sure that will bring all of the boys to my backyard. Mmm. Might need to get an attack god to handle these boys.

I don't believe anybody really likes me or is being honest with me

Well, I like you and I've got no tact whatsoever, so I think you can trust me on this one.

Edit; erika, do you think you can mail this guy over here? I'd like to kick him a little bit for disrespecting a friend. Thanks.

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

I've got some tamari in my fridge, the label says "wheat free soy sauce: but I don't know if that is generically true for tamari or particular to this brand/bottle.

{{{Sean}}} That sounds very hard to deal with. I hope you can find your way believing that people don't want to hurt you.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Well, I like you and I've got no tact whatsoever, so I think you can trust me on this one.

See, Sean, you can take consolation that we don't give a fuck about being fake-nice. If we didn't like you, then you wouldn't have to wonder about it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

and i kind of worry that this new way of "being me" is pretty much permanent.

Oh, honey. I don't know what shittastic stuff happened over the past year (and I don't need to), but frankly, your reaction sounds normal. Betrayal is evil and perception-shattering.

That said, I agree with Hec that people aren't immutable. I *do* think that you should be however you need to be in order to heal. I also know that healing doesn't happen quickly.

But I think your nature isn't set in stone. Or doesn't have to be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Nope, I had it backwards - tamari is the wheat-free version, shoyu is wheat and soy. But as with most things, the labeling in the States is unregulated so a lot of things labeled "tamari" actually aren't.

Always Anti-fascist!

Thanks, Shir. I thought it would be fun, since this guy said he was hot and and had a great job, blah blah, to write back "and modest, too. :)) to cover up "Then why are you messaging me on your lunch break?" I...think we know. And it's not because I'm breathtakingly awesome.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sean, I like you, but mostly because you can get me into the Dali exhibit for free. (It was nice to have your virtual presence at the Seattle F2F.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And I don't mean to make light of it, Sean. Certainly my capacity to trust was very damaged after my divorce. And, in truth, it's not back to where it was and the damage I experienced going through the divorce has changed me and probably for the worse. But scar tissue is also part of the healing process. It's not like you go back to what you were. But you can get better and move to a better place.

I mean, Matilda wouldn't be here if I hadn't found some measure of trust.

This, a lot.

Scar tissue is the strongest part of skin tissue. (That may be a myth.) So I wouldn't be surprised if it's the strongest part of the soul.
