I'm glad you are feeling better, Erin.
Ebeneezer and Snooch demonstrate why we don't do emoticons here: [link]

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.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
(I totally don't get emoticon hate)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
(ita, I don't either. I think they're useful for indicating tone, though they can be abused obnoxiously like anything else. I'd rather see emoticons than lololols.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Overuse emoticons?? ;) I don't know how that could happen! :D LOL!

I suppose it's fitting that I'm spending my last day at this job farting about on the nets? Waiting for adrenaline to kick in so I can blast through a cheat sheet for my coworkers.
Wouldn't you know, though, I think I'm getting sick. This is what happens when my sleep gets fucked up. Well, that and smoking too much. O HAI STRESS.

Yes. Do they really expect you to work on your last day? Fools.

Well, it's just that I promised to wrap some things up. And haven't yet, b/c I've been doing other stuff.

I think they are ok in moderation, too. But Snooch was really funny.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Cute moment in the plaza at lunch. She looks like a weee first year undergrad. Playfully hollering at her friend to hurry up. Instead of saying "get your ass over here" she said "get your vagina over here". Which was followed by a little snickering. And then "vagina. Vagina. VAGINA!!" with more snickering. I'm sure there is an inside joke there. But it look to be the first public round of feminine liberation for the young lady. It was cute. I dunno, maybe I watched "Vagina Monologues" too many times.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, smonster, I completely understand the mix of vague but not overpowering guilt and wanting to do right by those that come after. But -
WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO, FIRE YOU?
