Yep, it's still boomin' out there and Bartleby is chillin' like Bob Dylan.
I would think about going to bed early, but there is probably no point until at least midnight.
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

[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 should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Fireworks have been going on all day. After dark I'll go for a walk and laugh as I pass under the "Illegal fireworks use will be prosecuted" sign.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Yeah, i laugh at those too. Prosecuted by who, exactly?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, erika, survivor's guilt sucks. But I'm glad to hear that you're doing so well health-wise. There's no bad in that.

And just as a quick rule of thumb...
good reasons to call 911 tonight: something on fire (other than a firecracker fuse) someone needs an ambulance people fighting
bad reasons to call 911: someone somewhere is setting of fireworks and they are loud
Illegal fireworks are a great reason to call your non-emergency police line and wait on hold interminably with an ever growing sense of futility.

I wonder how much money all these hardworking families are spending on fireworks.

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

It's their PATRIOTIC DUTY!
I can see some fireworks from my patio. That's good enough. I didn't feel like going to the park and hanging out. It's raining, and there are people there. I'm comfy in my living room, watching Stephen Fry Does America without a hint of irony in my soul.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
bonny, I'm so glad. I know that's a huge relief, to have found something that works for B-Boy to keep him calm.
So, that was a delightful evening. St. Woot is loving Firefly - we ordered pizza so we could keep watching - a boy after my own heart. Then we drove to the Marigny, parked near his place and wandered down to the levee, near the cruise boat piers. We had a great view of the fireworks, and only one annoying drunk chick behind us, who managed to be mostly entertaining. It was a pretty good display, and then we wandered through the quarter and managed to run into my very very drunk friend L*, the one I need to have a possibly awkward convo with, that will now be possibly more awkward that she's met St. W. Or less, who knows. Anyway, we went and got gelato, and then wandered back to his truck and he took me home.
tl:dr - I continue to like him very much, and he seems to like me a lot, too.
End of the night convo -
Me: You gonna call me?
St.W: I was going to call you today, I swear, you just beat me to it!
Me: Yeah, I got a little impatient.
St.W: I like that you got impatient.
He has a full time job (I should look into getting one of those) and he's studying for his boards, so he's a busy boy and I expect I will continue to experience some impatience, but now I feel more confident and can relax a bit. I have been scrutinizing pretty much every utterance for asshole flags, and have yet to find any. Fingers crossed.
