WTH Erin? She spent two hours yelling at you? Yipes. Is she a bit borderline?
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

[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.

Sorry, I didn't mean that to sound glib.

Our wings are not tired.
She's nuts and you're handling it beautifully.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hah! Not glib, but accurate.
Yeah, I warned her off a couple of times, but she was yelling and agressive even when she wasn't "yelling."
And once, she wandered into the murky waters of "I don't know what kind of relationship you and d have if he's not sharing infomation..." and I was all "Whoa. Stop right there. We are talking about M and what we can do about that. Any conversations about D and I's relationship are not going to be happening."
Now, D hasn't been perfect, and neither have I, but neither, for sweet fuck's sake, has she, by ANY stretch. But everything seems to come down to something being D and I's fault.
You know, hot on the heels of our decision NOT to move to PA besides, oh, we don't WANT to, own a house, have a 20-yr old circle of best friends, ailing, aging family all in Midwest, silly non-reasons like that, is the simple fact that if I lived within driving distance of her and I had to deal with this F2F bullshittery, one of us would end up face down in the dirt.
And it wouldn't be me.
Oh, Xanax, there you are! I knew I stashed you in the medicine cabinet for a reason! Come to mama...

Erin, you handled that as well as you possibly could. And I am sneaky and petty enough that I think you upping your contact with M is a fantastic plan. Let me know if he starts showing an interest in gaming or goth stuff - I'd love to be his fairy gothmother via mail.

Oh, hee, that cheers me to no end!
And I AM trying to balance being petty and bitchy and doing right by M. So far, doing right is winning, but my violent fantasies are rather satisfying.

“Not dead yet!”
Hell, let's just have a summer camp in Seattle, land o'weirdness and fully of petty, vindictive, sneaky peoples who encourage all sorts of anarchistic creative shit and have anarchistic, creative children for M to befriend.
IJS...

God, that would be perfect! How fun would that be? D and I could have a quasi-honeymoon, and M would have so much fun!
Oh course, I am now officially going to the the bitchy stepmom who turned her son into a freak.
Funny thing is, this chick is a rapid liberal, but she's so helicopter parent, it's just baffling and crazy-making.
Tangent: I turn 39 this year. I may throw myself a big yet casual birthday party at my house. It'd be late August, and I'd have to do a lot of work in the backyard...which I was planning on doing anyway. Hmm. Maybe...

Augh, Erin! That is maddening! You are handling this with so much more patience than I ever could.

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.
She's nuts and you're handling it beautifully.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
