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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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

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

My alarm clock just died. It's lasted something like 11 years, which I guess is good for a fairly cheap clock radio. I'm splurging on one of the dawn simulator ones to replace it. For some reason, the only ones with the outside made of plastic are the ones made for kids. Most of them have the light thing made of glass. When I've just woken up and I'm trying to figure out which button turns an alarm off, I really don't want to have to worry that the clock will shatter if I knock it off the table.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
What about one of those alarms made to be thrown? I've considered it...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I had one in the shape of a hand grenade when I was in college. It was good.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I love Clocky.
Is Jupiter that piercing bright light in the sky? How I wish I had a telescope. I tried binoculars but it just became a slightly larger, very bright, jiggly dot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think Jupiter should be the brightest thing in the night sky besides the moon (if it's out).

Running out of spoons is not running out of energy, it's running out of *ability*.
Exactly, which is why this sentence in particular jumps out at me as problematic:
Most people start the day with unlimited amount of possibilities, and energy to do whatever they desire
This statement puts the bar for "healthy" so high that most actually healthy people will not meet that standard, and so it ultimately does a poor job of distinguishing between, say, having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and just being really tired. I think it's a good metaphor hidden in an unfortunately poorly expressed piece of writing.

Clocky would drive me nuts.

I don't own Clocky, I just love him. My cell phone has been my alarm for years.
