I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

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.

In happier news, I just bought tickets to see Neil Gaiman next month in New Hampshire. I can't wait.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

You know, I wouldn't be so irritated by my mother wanting to ask me for advice for every little thing if she would just take the advice and make a decision. Don't ask for advice and then try to convince me that I'm wrong. I don't really care what she does, so I am disinclined to argue with her. She asks me what I think, I tell her. I don't need to defend my opinion.

“Not dead yet!”

My mother invited herself along on my working trip to New York next week. Only for the two days I don't have too many set commitments, but STILL--

I've already informed her that I will not be at her disposal. We all know she doesn't really believe that, right?

Tell me the Universe is giving me Karma points.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I should not engage in facebook arguments about Israel with my cousin. This could not possibly end well.

I must share this lethal cuteness:

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Speaking of lethal cuteness, I've uploaded new photos of Ryan. [link]

Highlights include his baptism: [link] and his 2nd birthday: [link]

“Not dead yet!”

bt, it's just not right, that you allow the cuteness to continue unabated.

Do you understand just what havoc that's going to wreak as it develops?

WTF. Second birthday? That can't possibly be. He's turning one, surely. That must be a typo.

I understand the havoc he's wreaked so far, so I have some idea.

He just spent a difficult week where he got it into his head that he didn't want to sleep in his cot anymore, he wanted to sleep on his little fold-out sofa. ...He has a little fold-out sofa, I should mention. On the first day or two, he'd keep a screaming meltdown going for an hour or more at the injustice of sleeping in a cot. Not even Bubby (his bedtime stuffed frog thing: [link] ) could appease him. That was less cute. As of last night, though, he's once again reconciled to his cot-bound nocturnal existence.
