Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

It depends, Maria. The trilogy is pretty wrenching, but...

Every time I have a truly bleak depression episode, I know I'm coming out of it when I can watch "Once More With Feeling" and sob for an hour. It's cathartic for me.

But it's kind of a personal ritual at this point, so...YMMV.

ETA: Or, what sj said.

Is it advisable for me to start reading the Hunger Games trilogy now, considering my situation?

Plei said I have to wait another year before I read the trilogy. I can go see the movie, but no reading the books for me right now. So I suspect you probably shouldn't read them right now, either.

I was just about to post that you said it better.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I love each and every one of you. Just in case you didn't know....

I shall ponder.

Ponder away, Maria. I know that personally, I'm still avoiding a lot of media that I know makes me cry (Big Fish, Lilo and Stitch, Mirrormask), because I was crying at everything, and didn't need additional triggers.

And because I felt it should be in a separate post: the HR guy emailed me today and said the initial feedback has been good! And to please send them samples of my technical writing. Ohshitohshitohshit. Because I have LOTS of editing samples, but tech writing samples? Um.

Thankfully I was able to download the two big docs I was responsible for during the hell job, and sent him those. Now I freak out.

That's not breaching confidentiality? I would have a very hard time coming up with a writing sample--everything I"ve written is confidential to the company I wrote it for.

For Connie and any other beader - wow ... just wow.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'd also have a hard time coming up with a writing sample, but for different reasons. I've authored some documents that have been published, but only after so much review that you can't really call it my writing any more.
