Shit, sorry! Thanks, smonster.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

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.

smonster, holy crap!!!! Blood poisoning! I hope everything turns out all right. Please keep us posted!
Thanks, Nora, for taking smonster to the ER.
migraine ~ma to Teppy, and all kinds of ~ma to Strix, and I hope you get some rest, Pix, and hugs all around.
That's a gorgeous teapot, Beverly!
Basically, what everyone else said.
Hey, remember the 'friend' who told me that I betrayed her, she could never forgive me and didn't ever want to speak to me again?
She called this evening to say that she never said any of that. She reiterated pretty much everything she said originally and gave me the opportunity to apologize. In fact, she is surprised that I have not said I was sorry, but that it's not like we can't be friends.
I quashed the very strong impulse to ask her if she was still in middle school and simply said that I could not apologize for doing a kindness for someone who had been kind to me.
The most startling part of the whole exchange was realizing that she could not _hear_ herself being incredibly selfish as she was chastising me for not taking her feelings into account around something that had nothing to do with her.
Eh. Now I just want to trade keys and get my stuff out of her attic.

Insent, Strix.
Wicked fans, is the last book Out of Oz better than A Lion Among Men? I liked ALAM, but am wondering if I want to slog through OoO. The audiobook is 29 hours!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
it's not like we can't be friends
Sounds like it is.
Get your stuff out of her attic and end any other entanglements she may have in your life, is my strong suggestion. I've had "friends" like that before. Sometimes they decide to "punish" you for your infidelity by not giving you your stuff back. YCrazyPersonMV, of course.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hey guys! I am just popping in real quick to say (1) I have my sweetheart back home safe (huge relief) and (2) if you have emailed me (and yes, bonny, i r me!), THANK YOU and I will be returning the emails tomorrow.
I need some time with my sweetie, but I did not want you wonderful people to think I was ignoring you. I am just wiped.
Til tomorrow!

yay strix! I don't know what all has been going on, but sounds like relief is a good thing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Strix, I hope having your honey home gives you the strength to get everything on steadier ground. Love to you both!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay, strix!
Thanks for the ~ma earlier, everyone. I was reading on my iphone, and it did help. The pain has eased off a bit, but I'm having a packing meltdown tonight. I'm tired from not sleeping last night, and I just can't seem to find anything because of the move, including my kindle, which I'm sure I put somewhere safe. I just can't figure out where that safe place would be. And to top it all off the memory card that I bought at Target today doesn't fit into my camera.
I'm trying to convince myself that I should be in a good mood tonight, but it just isn't working for me.

Our wings are not tired.
It is good to hear strix has her honey home!
Evening with the landlord was awesome and wine filled. He insists on coming over to demonstrate fine Indian cuisine. He lives to cook, which I knew from my kitchen. Hours of lively political debate, which is a pleasure of mine. He is British and grew up in Kuwait, so knowledgable. He lives in a marina very close to here and insisted that absolutely any time we want to travel he will be happy to housesit and take care of dog, cat, fish, plants, whatever. He did say he might enjoy partying with my kids too. ( he is near 70, and understands why they aren't the best house sitters). Great evening.
