Oh god, please no brackety hugs and shit. SERIOUSLY.
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

[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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Teppy, I want to crawl into bed and hide under the covers for a day, myself.
I also drive WAY TOO fast and am pushing my luck on a speeding ticket.

It's a numbers game with me -- not IF, but WHEN I'll get a ticket. I'm actually surprised that I don't get stopped more often. (This is the first ticket in a couple-few years.)

Seeing those flashing lights in your mirrors causes anxiety that is disproportionate to the speeding sin, so it's understandable that it wrecked you for a while, Steph.
While you didn't scream at the officer, I came in this morning to find out that one of the professors did scream at our student workers last night (for something not their fault) and she's totally being a shit about it this morning.
What went wrong? A link to a web page wouldn't work last night and she totally flipped out.

Teppy, I'm sorry. No hugs, but I will say that it is totally understandable. You've had a lot going on, and being pulled over by a cop for any reason (deserved or not) is always traumatic imho.
Can I have a little bit of job~ma for TCG? I don't want to take it from people that are out of work, but he is applying for a job this week that would definitely be a step up toward what he really wants to be doing and the commute would be SO much better.

I had weird dreams last night and woke up going, "Oh, god, no, please, I want to sleep." Not the way a season should start. Fall's my favorite season, and it's let me down. Perhaps it will be all good from here.

Certainly--job~ma to TCG!
Steph, I'm sorry you got pulled this morning. It's definitely something that can ruin your morning, but I hope the rest of the day goes better.

Ugh, I have flipped my shit about tickets FOR SURE. All that guilt adrenalin just bites.
Back from gym. I have not been in one in....seriously. I can't remember. 2004?
I remember liking the elliptical a lot, but now that have TV with cable on each one! And heart monitors on the handles. Neato.
I also got rid of the very last of all the glass recycling the ex left in the yard for us (thanks, Ms. I Am So Eco, I Bleed Green - pfft on you. And I'm gonna wash the dog, then eat some leftover pot roast. Yummy.

Whenever a cop pulls in behind me, I have to do the "lights are on, registration's current, I'm doing the speed limit, don't panic and do something dumb" chant. But it's a tense few blocks until he changes lane and eases up behind someone else to see if he can spook them into something stupid.
