I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I take it twice a day.

I think that one you can take a little later than 5 pm (maybe 6 or 7), but, like I said, I think they warn you not to take it too late b/c it can cause insomnia.

Why am I on an anti-D that may cause anxiety attacks?

It's not a problematic drug for some people. But if you're prone to anxiety, then keep an eye on that. Did you just start it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I've been on it for maybe two weeks now.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Stephanie, my opinion as an outsider is, if you've been using your married name for 11 years and are keeping it after the divorce, it's essentially your name now, and so it would make sense to me that it would be New Baby's last name too, if you decide to go that route. I also like smonster's idea of using the birth father's last name as a middle name, and GC's idea of hyphenating your original last name with your married name too.

It's not the same situation, but my mom never changed her name when she married my dad, and so my last name is different from hers. I think the worst irritation with that was that occasionally when she'd call the school for something about my brother or me, it would take her a minute to explain that she was our mom even though her name was different. It certainly has never affected our relationship, or my relationship with her side of the family, as far as I can tell.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Liese, got it! Thanks!

Trust my rage

My mom made the same point as Kate did - that my current last name is *mine* even if it's not the one I was born with.

I have a while to think about it, but i like hearing everyone's opinions.

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

Bartleby ~ma, bonny. May it be nothing.

Our wings are not tired.

I was going to say the same at Kate. But she took the time to type it out so now I don't gotta!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I got to Columbus. And I'm tired. I decided to forget about going out for dinner, and just ate some of the road trip food I'd brought in my bag. Tomorrow, I think I will be exploring German Village in the morning, then heading for Lexington in the afternoon. (Actually, I think I'll mostly be exploring the 32-room bookstore in the morning.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My mom made the same point as Kate did - that my current last name is *mine* even if it's not the one I was born with.

I agree with this. I think you should do whatever feels right to you.
