I suffer badly from wanting to say exactly the right thing and ending up saying nothing at all.
Me too.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

[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.

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

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I agree, but it looks so weird. Not just because of what I'm accustomed to (because I always have to think about it) but because the comma just sort of dangles when its outside an endquote.Hmm, maybe it's a guy thing then. We are used to dangles. ::snerk::
Argh, no! You're probably joking about this, but seriously, that would cause me to click away IMMEDIATELY.Yes Kate, that was a joke. I'm an idiot, but not that big of one.

Compassionately intolerant
I've mostly made peace with the fact that it's cliched for a reason and just try to let what is in my heart come out, hoping that sincerity will gloss over any poor wording choices.
This is me.
And this,

is beautiful.

I wish her sister weren't in Seattle for a wedding. I'm sure she would've liked to have seen you as well.
We were able to catch Kara before she left- hung out on Thursday night!

Was back at Nora's by 11 last night, but was so revved from second-lining that I didn't fall asleep until 1 or so.
Man, I totally did not hear you come in! You must have missed us going upstairs by like 2 minutes.

I can tell you that it meant SO MUCH TO ME just to have someone say that they were thinking of me, or drop a card in the mail or send an email. You don't think of it as anything big, but I can tell you that it means a lot to the person.
You guys were so great when I lost my dad. Meatspace was good, too, but you guys laughing and crying with me and sharing stories with each other about my dad was amazing.

Yay! How does her eye look? I'm trying to imagine the surgery, but it keeps giving me the wiggins.

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, nothing beats an actual card or note in snail mail. It means the world to me, even during non-crisis times like birthdays or whatever.

A hundred times this. Both parts.

The stitches are out, so it's looking much better.
