Giles ,'Get It Done'
[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.
You know, I was just talking to my therapist the other day about my limited internal definition of "normal" (or maybe "okay for me" is a better term) and I was telling her about all the "friends" (okay, buffistas), who have opened my eyes to all these different ways to live and be happy.
Honestly, I think that is the board's greatest gift to me - the realization that there are many ways to be "okay".
I definitely wouldn't have.
I know for darn certain I wouldn't have.
Massive gleeful riotous happy birthday to you, Tep! The forties welcome you with great pleasure. I've lived here for almost three years now, and it's a much niftier neighborhood than you would have thought in your twenties. A tiny bit shabbier and more run-down than might be absolutely optimal, but with its own funky charm.
Yeah, I agree that PDF is a good idea. It's just been tricky b/c I use Pages, not Word, and so Erin and I have been bouncing things back and forth, but I'm never quite sure if what she's sending is what I'm seeing.
Anyway. Thanks for the help. I'm going to eat some food before I lose my shit. Oh, low blood sugar-induced rage blackouts, you suck.
I am totally crushing on jz and her mad word skillz right now.
Oh, pshaw! Or, alternately, takes one to know one.
I don't know what I would be like without Buffistas, and I don't want to know. I feel like I learn something new here every day.
Hee, JZ, now I want to turn 40 instead 39 this year!
Oh, low blood sugar-induced rage blackouts, you suck.
I will stand in this corner with you, although I wasn't ragey so much a deeply, deeply stupid.
Nonian, that so much. I attended a Latin convention when I was 16, and making friends with deeply geeky teenagers so much helped me to break out of my shell and become the snarky bitca you all know and....love(!) today.
But the Buffistas helped me become an adult. Still deeply geeky, still dealing with issues...but DEALING with issues and figuring out what makes me happy and what doesn't, and how to add the former while subtracting as much as the latter as is feasible.
Buffistas quite literally helped me stay alive.
(Also, I can't use the word "literally" without doing an automatic "TepCheck" -- is it really literal?!)
Grocery store run made and oh, sweet, sweet Tylenol. I love SO much.
Not only would I not have made the changes I did without the support of Buffistas, I wouldn't be married to one. Who, ftr, rocks my world.
You, JZ, Andi and Daniel win the Buffista Lifetime Achievements awards, but you have some pretty stiff competition!
Holy shit -- Matilda wouldn't exist if you and Hec hadn't both randomly started shooting words on a screen 10 years ago. Crazy! I love life -- it's so NEAT and unexpected!
Am I missing other Buffista couples? Imagine what our look back in 5, 10, 15 years will be like.
