If anyone had told me I'd be in the PNW, I would have asked where they kept the funny mushrooms and hey, could I have a few?

Happy Birthday, Teppy!

I should call StY and make sure he's not in the fire's way.

Yay, meara's phone!

Ryan is so awesome. Your posts make me smile so hard, BT.

Buffista happiness is a good thing. It's also usually hard-earned.

Sending relief and recovery vibes to Windsparrow's eyes.

I believe they keep the funny mushrooms in the PNW, actually.

I need recommendations on hair dye! I want to go back to my natural color: black. But I need a "soft" black, not Gothy Ravenwing Black, and that's been my problem: either I get a color that's TOO black, or I leave it on too long trying to cover the stubborn gray, and I end up with just stark black. It's almost as difficult to get right as the red! Should I just go to a salon? I don't want to, really; it's expensive and I'm never comfortable there.

More than a few. Not in my wildest dreams, man, for real. We still grin at each other, "We live here!"

Sparky, so many Sass vibes. So very many.

You might want to check out Garnier Nutrisse-- I think they have several shades of black from soft to gothy tinged with blue (which I've been considering in mad moments. My mother would have massive kittens.)

Zen, I don't have any black recs; I did Gothy Ravenwing in highs school (heh), and it's NOT a good look for me, so I haven't experiemented. True black is pretty hard to do for anyone who's not true black naturally, though -- have you tried a deep, deep brown?

I am loving the glance back! Guys, do you think most of is would have achieved what we have without B.org? Speaking for myself, I know not.

I am so, so grateful for all of you.

How lucky am I that I slacked at work in 2001 and stumbled onto TT?

Cassie, even as a vampire you cannot fly. Well, at least see if you can stop crashing into things first before you get all "bet I can fly!"-y

Because, you know, even if you can fly, you probably should not if you're still crashing into things.

Fair point. But! What if I can fly? Vampire are faster healers in nearly every myth. I think this me flying thing has wings.

You know, faster healing might be better than flying. But flying sounds fun.

The Bigen permanent colors might be your best bet. Black brown or oriental black. Even, as a stepping stone, the dark brown. No lift and the color keeps on my hair. So much I just cut off the ends that had more red than my current hair. And it is the water-activated so you can make it as thick as you need. It's what I use still on my brows.

We still grin at each other, "We live here!"

You do!

Oh hell no. "It probably sounds crazy, but I just signed up for fencing...."

No. I know for a fact we'd never have reached the west coast without the impetus and aid of Buffistas, not even for a visit.

Flying is the next best thing to instantaneous teleportation. I'm holding out for the latter. I know, the journey is supposed to be the thing. You know what? Fuck the journey. Get me there and let's get this show on the road.

...says the person who goes on long drives for recreation. Still. That's rec. Point A to Point B is between, and the shorter the better.

Probably not, on my part. Left to my own devices, I would have floundered.
