I just reread the Westmark trilogy because my mom sent me all of the Lloyd Alexander books. I remember liking Westmark more than Prydain, but I should reread those, too.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The problem I have with trusting my instincts is that I cannot always tell instinct from passing thoughts that I like the sound of.
This.
I have pretty good instincts but poor impulse control. And sometimes I confuse the two.
I am so glad C is physically okay, Kristin. I hope she's okay mentally too. How frightening.

What are people doing this weekend?
This is one of our few weekends of the summer where we don't have any social obligations. So, we may go see a movie and possible do some unpacking and cleaning.

To clarify - when I'm talking about instincts, I mean WRT to chemistry or physical attraction or what have you. In my life, when I have ignored that and dated someone hoping that the attraction would grow, it did not.
What are people doing this weekend?
Working, two dates, house stuff, errands, and cleaning up kitten poo.

Happy Birthday, Teppy!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What are people doing this weekend?
My sister is coming to visit, so I expect I'll be painting a room or two.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Brave 3D in a little bit; tomorrow, church and brunch and more movies; throughout, dishes and cleaning.
Happy Teppyday! We're all very glad you were born.
Completely unrelated to anything else, cupcake Goth Minnie Mouse ears. This is a thing in the world; I totally never even imagined.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
What are people doing this weekend?
Birthday birthday birthday!
Actually, I'm not doing a ton of stuff. I went to see Avengers yesterday as a pre-birthday thing (although I would have seen it even if it were months away from my birthday). Tim and I are going out for sushi tonight and then meeting friends at our favorite gay-friendly bar (I have a hard time describing it to people -- it's not Gay! Bar! Gay people only!; it's basically a neighborhood bar over in Northern Kentucky -- like your basic corner bar with a pool table and a patio and occasionally a band, but it's got the Pride flag out front and just has kind of a funky, everyone-is-welcome-here [except bigots] vibe).
Also, the Ulta store has a brow bar and people who belong to their frequent shopper club (or whatever it's called) get a free brow wax on their birthday, which I desperately need. So I am going to drive all the way up to where my office is, just to get my brows wrangled. Because -- free!
Tomorrow, I really have to get a new cell phone. Mine has been on life support for 6 months at least.
Happy Birthday, Teppy!
Happy Teppyday! We're all very glad you were born.
Thank you! It's nice when one's birthday falls on a weekend.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday, Steph! Sounds like a fun one.

I have come to think of that as pheromones, not instinct. Good guide to attraction, not nearly so accurate at identifying a workable relationship.
