Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.
'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.

Apparently, furniture made by shop-class dropouts is more manly [link] I found this article a very strange take on gender roles.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Glad you're home and eating, Drew!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Welcome home, Drew!
Vortex, ugh. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Drew is home! Woot!!!
ION, does anyone use a Halti to walk their dog? And does your dog tolerate it? Because Kato, who is otherwise a Good Dog, constantly paws at it and tries to escape-artist his way out and I have no idea what to do to convince him to behave.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Yay, Drew is home! That is SUCH good news.

not your mom's socks.
Hooray Drew!
I am mired. Trying to shake it off, but still heavily mired. Also trying to figure out if the universe is pointing me in a different direction, forcibly. Either way, I'll still finish this, and apply, and give them some coulda-shoulda-woulda's in a couple years' time when I'm right and they are so (old and) wrong.
unrelatedly, Raq, someone was singing Skullcrusher Mountain who is about Mal's height and not me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Vortex, my fallback was always, "Well, what do you think you should do?" and time enough for her to talk it out, which was what she really wanted anyway, just to be listened to and have someone's attention. Forfend she should actually seriously solicit an opinion or advice except as something to argue her view against. I suppose the exercise gave her a wall to throw ideas against and vocalise them she wouldn't have had otherwise.
If that didn't seem sufficient, when she wound down and waited for me to offer an opinion, I'd ask, "And what would you like to do?" and let her go again.
This method gave her what she was seeking--everything but the enterainment of an argument, which she sometimes pushed for anyway--and kept my frustration down, as I wasn't attempting to solve her problem and getting my suggestions shot down.
It wasn't perfect, but it was better.
