Argh. I have a friend who is normally of a melancholy and anxious turn of mind, and she and her spouse have gotten themselves in a miserable state of affairs, and cannot see any way out. Every possibility I suggest, she shoots down with excuses. She posts several times a day on Twitter, and she hasn't said one single happy thing for months. Literally. She hates absolutely everything abut where she is now, and she won't even entertain a possibility of change. She seems determined to be miserable and hopeless, and I don't know how to deal with it.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I let the boys be all butch and shit, though I did advise them on maneuvering. Door came out and legs came off and it's gone. I'm so happy. And now I'm going to clear off my bed and crash.

Yay couchlessness!
I am watching SYTYCD, and waiting ot catch up in the nonfiction thread, due to westcoastishness.
My shoulder is KILLING me, after being very painful Sat/Sun and feeling better the past couple days. Stupid lifting weights.
Also, I have a date with a boy tomororw. A born boy. WTF?

Our wings are not tired.

Hah--lifting weights and dating boys, it's not me!
But SYTYCD so is. :)

Boys are, well, they aren't girls, but they do have their charms too.

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.
Barb, I'm glad that mold has not had a chance to set in. I hope the rest of clean-up and restoration is not too huge a PITA.
{{{{{{Nora}}}}}} I wish there were a way to ease this time for you. It's always sudden.
{{{{{{Jilli}}}}}} because even though time heals wounds, all times are now.
May the day come soon, when your backs grow strong under the burdens of your grief, and it no longer bears you to the ground under the weight of it, that you carry it with pride, like a badge of honor.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
But pretty soon you'll wake up in New Orleans and you'll say, "I live here!" and that's pretty fucking sweet.
YES I REMEMBER THIS TOO.
Me too!
Barb, I'm glad it's no worse than it is, and I hope it's cleared up and fixed and your house back to normal in no time.
Nora, what everybody said about there being no "right way" to mourn the loss of a loved one. Be kind to yourself.
smonster, so much road-luck, and new-life-luck to you.
