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!
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

[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.

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.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yeah, one reason I changed my ticket was to see KM. The eye is looking pretty good. Even got a little time with B - he enjoyed looking at pictures on my iPhone. That kid is a trip. We saw T, too. I've managed to see most of the people I wanted to already, though I'm planning on getting back to the L9 again to hang with Mack and Smitty some more.
OMG, the new EPA lead paint regs are a fucking bear. I've got, like, ten tabs open and am trying to track down someone at the EPA who can give me the Idiot's Guide version. I'm torn between appreciating the safety concerns and wondering how much is overkill. And it's not yet clear how material reuse is affected.

I used to have phone fear. Working campaigns killed it though.
Not campaigns, but serving the IDF in a job which required a lot of talking to high ranks over the phone and in interviews killed mine. I mean, I was still terrified, but I found ways to get over that and still make the call. And for someone who, for a long time, didn't call her friends because she thought she'll disturb them with her thoughts, that means something.

Trust my rage
THe thing I hate about sympathy situations is that I always feel like I'm overly sympathetic/empathetic. Like the person is going to think I'm some sort of emotional stalker because, well, I don't know that them well, so why am I all upset for them?
Having said that, I always appreciate so much the support I get here or on LJ for even small stuff. That's what pushes me past feeling like I'm being too close to people.
