Nope, that's fine, it just took a while to arrive. I've sent it back using my work email though, just so I look worky from across the office...
Slap my hand now!

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Seska, sorry, hon, but it's not your responsibility to caretake her life. Cut her free, tell her you will give her a good rec, so she CAN find something that will work with her personality.
Why would you keep an added stressor to the ones you already have (HELLO, moving and new doctoral program), esp. when the person is supposed to relieve stress?
So it might make her personal situation harder. If you keep her, you will be PAYING her to make YOUR personal situation harder.
You are a nice person. Don't forget to be nice to yourself.

Thanks, Jars!
Seska - listen to Erin. Erin is wise.

I am already home with a migraine. Come on, body, play nice now. We have Things To Do.
Erin, that is all very good advice.
You are a nice person. Don't forget to be nice to yourself.
That is all too easy to forget. Thank you.

Sweetie, you know I love you, but if anyone will make your life hard for you, I'll have to come and beat the living shit out of them.
Even if it's you.
But in that case, I'll try and use words first.

You're so thoughtful.

Congrats, Shir!
So, in addition to making you feel crappy on your birthday, does OKCupid send out "still single?" emails on National Coming Out day?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I feel as if the next stage for OKCupid passive-aggressive emails will be sending "still single?" emails on the birthdays of you father, mother, exes, and people you dated with in the past.
Just being thorough.

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 they'll branch out into target advertising.

(Because if you can't find anyone, of course a. there's a problem and b. that is you).
