You jest, but it's almost true. My bosses thought I was a bit silly for missing work on 7/7. The tube station down the road from me had been blown up, but I was apparently meant to be finding British blitz spirit and walking the twelve miles to the office.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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.

If the British start referring to matters as "A spot of bother", then I expect to see paratroopers and berserkers in kilts turning up in odd places.

not your mom's socks.
Amyth, much ~ma for your brother and your family.
I'm winding down from an extended weekend that included co-op work, making dinner at my parents, running errands after 8pm, and then (o so very grateful for this) visiting my friends, old neighborhood, and former co-workers at ECN. I seem to have left my motivation somewhere on I95 and nearly screwed up a forgotten playdate, but I am still grinning with how fun it was. Also, ECN? Still both emo and craxy according to my coworkers, who are neither.
Lisah and sarameg, I want to meet up with you one of these times I come down. Amy and I discussed a mini f2f also.
I'm cheering you on despite my lassitude, seska.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
oohmommy... I defrosted some veggie stew and it was almost as yummy as when I froze it but I felt like it needed some cream but all I have is 2% so I tried a tablespoon of bleu cheese dressing and wow! It is scrumptious.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Vortex does have a unique ability to see to the heart of the problem, and an elegant way with a hammer.
Vortex is one of my IDOLS. And I do default to What Would Vortex Say when I am feeling meek.
For the record, I default to What Would Jilli Say when I know I need to say something but say it waaaay nicer.
I probably have others too.
Just like they need a "fuck off" response to friend requests (yeah, I have a long-time grudge I'm not willing to let go of) they should allow you to dislike stuff.
They totally should. I wouldn't really use it more but I'd feel better.

Our wings are not tired.
I default to what Megan Walker would do about clutter.

Just don't try that this week, because it would all be translated to "I DON'T WANT TO BE SICK ANYMORE! PLEASE MAKE ME MORE TEA? BRING ME CUPCAKES? YES, I WANT TO WATCH BEETLEJUICE *AGAIN*, SHUT UP."

or even an "I didn't like you then, and I have no desire to know you now" button. Like a guy from college who wanted to friend me and I thought "I found you annoying, talentless, and often strange. Why would I want you back in my life, even on Facebook."
