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.

Teppy, yay for your benign news! I hope you are pain-free rather quickly now that the right treatment can be started.

Hil, I don't eve know what to say - your job situation has to be very stressful. I hope you get the answers you need, soon.

And, just like Andi and LotR, I'm sure quoting Angel's "if nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do" is cliche, but it helps me to think of it.

I think around here, quoting Buffy or Angel, or Firefly, etc. etc. is not so much cliche but lingua franca. Hitting up Nazi Germany and LOTR in a post that wasn't describing mid-20th-Century history and culture, though? That's a special kind of internet pop-culture geekery. I think a reference to a Nigerian scam would be some kind of trifecta.

Aims, that email isn't too shmoopy. It's gorgeous.

Your point? I mean, I think we resemble that comment, each and every one of us.

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

moment of silence for Hamish

Thank you. I hope your date went well!

She was so young!

Dwarf hamsters only live about eighteen months, although I don't think she made it quite that far. Whitby (our last hamster) reached the grand age of at least three and a half, so I was quite distressed last night and wondered if I'd done something wrong. But she appears to have gone in her sleep, so that's nice really.

Too much work! I must plan a seminar on the gospels, and finish a document that goes to a committee that confirms my PhD status, and other such busy things.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm sorry I didn't say something earlier, Steph. I'm so glad it's going to be fine.

not your mom's socks.

Dear weather, April fools jokes are for kids and Google employees. Not for you. Quit snowing. Now. No love, me.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I don't wanna go to work today. It's not that there's anything bad (except possibly some April Fool's Day jokes) waiting for me. I'd just rather stay home to write fic and wallow in a book.

Oh! I knew there was something I forgot - Seska, I was sorry to hear about Hamish shuffling off this mortal coil. A brief candle, but still a small light in this wilderness.
