Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[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.
Oh, and just various details for the record so the story is all straight: it was my brother's girlfriend's idea for him to use the cat excuse, and he did tell my mom the girlfriend-related reason for not coming, after which she was silent for a while and then told him to bring her card games she can take on her India trip.
I hope you have a great time seeing your brother during the holidays.
SO MANY GAMES. No! Sleep! Till I beat BioShock!
PC, ah, man. You deserve better.
Not until I got to college did I realize how awesome I have it with my own slightly-fucked up but wonderfully goofy family that loves me.
And each year that passes, I am more grateful.
Way to channel your rage into delicious productivity, Nora.
So my mom burst into tears shen I told her about the potential offer, and then again when she thought about Frankie leaving. And that's perfectly fine and natural, but I just didn't quite expect it, though I should have.
Taz has also been extra snuggly and sweet today. Cat makes me happy! (well, less rage-y.)

Ah, smonster, that's hard. But it's your dream and hopefully, she'll come around. And hey-- you'd be moving for an actual job that allows you to follow your bliss as opposed to just following your bliss like I did. And even my mother is finally sort of starting to forgive me. Kind of. She acknowledges that the kids are doing great although when she was here in August she let loose with a plaintive, "Nate, will you let me take a picture of you-- your mother never sends me any and the next time I see you you'll either be in college or I'll be dead."
Family-- what can you do?
Well, she said through her tears that she knows it's what I want to do, but it's just so far. And I told her it was fine to be sad, that I understood. It will be fine.
I'm so happy things are coming together for you, smonster. I'm sorry your mom is sad about it but I hope she'll adjust.
Aw. Definitely better than "all righty then, good luck with you!"
It's hard, I still have the guilt from my mom. Plus my grandma's health went downhill shortly after I left, so my guilt is thusly multiplied. On the whole though, I'm 1000% pleased with our decision.
You know, amazingly for me? I felt no guilt. Just sadness and compassion. Fucking miracle, that is.
PC, ah, man. You deserve better.
