Hil - send him a message via OKC saying basically that.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Just did that. And blocked him on IM, at least for now, because I'm a wuss and really don't want to have to answer questions about why I feel this way, and I'm pretty sure that he'd ask.

Sounds like you did the right thing for you, Hil.
I took out the recycling and I think I'm done for the night. Going to bed.

stick a finger in the dyke for a second, it'll be okay.
Aw yeah, baby, that's what I like to hear...:P
I went to acupuncture for the first time this evening. One or two of the needles were a bit uncomfortable, but mostly it was fine. I feel better than I did when I went in, though that may have to do with lying in a comfy recliner, relaxing for an hour. But it wasn't super expensive because it's community acupuncture--you don't have your own space, there's just 10 recliners in a circle.
Yesterday was my first Zumba class (slightly less thrilling than acupuncture) and tomorrow I'm going to the fancy theater downtown that I've never been to, to see Hunger Games. A week of firsts!
Yay sleep, Erin! No hairfires, Sean! And big hugs, Maria.

Maria,
the pain is still fresh. I say you are good for being able to go to a job you loathe.
When I was in high school, a Sri Lankan American friend of mine wore something black (garment, or a piece of cloth pinned to her clothing) for a very long time when a relative of hers died. I don't know if it was 1-2 months, or maybe 3? But I can see why such a practice is useful. Hard to feel pressured to go about business as usual when you have a public marker of grief.
Fuck it. Take care of yourself.

Miss Manners has often decried the move away from publicly noticeable mourning, because a visible sign that the person is not functioning at their best and may be emotional at unexpected moments is very useful.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It can be problematic, though, in terms of who gets to display such signs.

And it could be awkward trying to figure out who was in legitimate mourning and who was just a goth.

And who is still mourning Whitney.

Well, I honestly did wear a black armband for a while. Or a large pin on my lapel with torn black ribbon, or a lapel pin vase holding one of the blossoms from the many floral arrangements people sent.
Not to mention that I feel there's a pretty obvious difference from someone in gothy black and someone in mourning.
