Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

'Safe'


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.

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

Thoughts for you and your family, Maria.

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

This means a thing. And it's hard to explain to people who have not experienced it.

Yes, every time I hear someone talk about how superficial and silly internet communities are I feel bad for them because they obviously don't have anything like the buffistas in their lives.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

But what if I actually do run away? It's not outside the realm of possibility. Then I'm not only weak, but a disappointment.

Then you'll run away. After that, you'll come back.

All the time I've known you you've gone to considerable lengths to put your family first. It's your instinct. Your instinct to care for them will bring you right back.

Yeah, it's been interesting explaining it to my therapist. She's fascinated by it, and says that it's wonderful that I have a far-flung support network, she's just a little baffled by the invisible people in the box aspect of it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ah, Maria. I'm so sorry. Everyone has put everything I would so well.

Right now you are doing the only thing you can do; coping. It's like stumbling in a darkened room; some people will trip over shit, some will freeze, some will curse, some will curl up in a ball. You'll grope your way to the light switch after you have your individual reaction to the overwhelming dark.

Not wrong in groping and fumbling. It might feel like forever in FINDING the damn thing, but fumble, curse, sit on the floor, take a nap, whatever. You'll find it.

And the next time the light goes out, you'll still fumble, but you'll have a better idea of how you need to go about finding the damn light switch again.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Erin--that was so beautiful and so true.

Always Anti-fascist!

I think the social workers think I make you up. But I told you how they're idiots, right?

Aw, thanks, Scrappy.

No, erika, we are total delusional fantasies. Isn't your brain AWESOME?!

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.

What if we are all the delusional fantasies of a mad scientist?

If I'm made up in your head, erika, why didn't you make me hotter?
