Taz has also been extra snuggly and sweet today. Cat makes me happy! (well, less rage-y.)
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

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.

“Not dead yet!”
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.
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?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
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 wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
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.
