Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm home and glad to be. I can't believe the stuff people are setting off in the streets. The air is choked with smoke.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
The extremely loud explosions in the parking lot next to my building have finally ceased, so I guess it is safe to go to sleep.
Happy 4th everyone!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I guess I'm revealing my US-centricness, but I think if you said "Americans," I would have assumed you didn't mean South Americans, Central Americans, or even non-US-North Americans. Since this is such a US-specific holiday and all, I would have assumed that "American" was shorthand for "citizen of the United States of America," which does after all have the word "America" in its name.
It's hard for me to grok anyone but people from the US thinking of themselves as "Americans". "North Americans" or "South Americans" -- but a Canadian and an Chilean describing themselves as "American" is like a Dane and a Thai describing themselves as "Eurasian".

Argh. Dear friend B, when you suggested I watch the fireworks from your place I expressed worry about the parking and congestion after. You said you could take turns scooting me and your gf home on your vespa. I did NOT say I wanted to walk four miles home at 11:30 pm. Jesus.
(note: instead I'm pissed off, he refused to get on the scooter even though traffic is mad baked up and he couldgo around, and I walke a mile an change to the bus which will only get me to within a mile of home. Grrrrrr)

WTF, B? Dude should have manned up and revved up the scooter.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Was he too drunk to drive? That's the only reason I could think of to refuse...and then he should have called you a cab.

I have been in a hellacious funk all weekend, most likely the birthday blues (turned 45 on Saturday). I ended up blowing off two events Sunday and Monday that I'd been looking forward to because I. Could. Not. Deal. Apparently, wallowing in my bad mood was a better option than sucking it up. Thank God I had already scheduled today as a vacation day, because I would have hated going into work (though, sadly, I think I could deal with that better than either of the social events I didn't go to). Still feeling foul today, and I have zero appetite and really need to eat. Bleh.
Anyway, I just needed to get that out there. Sorry to be a bummer.

Aw, I'm sorry you had such a crap weekend, Frank. I'd wish you a happy belated birthday but it sounds like such a thing is not happening right now... I wish you an awesome year going forward, though!
