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.

Hi, guys. It's me.
Sorry I have been grey (black?) but I got an ARE YOU DED? email, so I am saying hello.
Arm recuperation is more painful and more annoying than my hysterectomy; at least when I was recooping from that, i could type. I'm finally off the Vicodin and my soft cast was removed, and I am in a brace.
I fell into a massive case of the blues --can only work at a snail-like pace, had to renege on a job, been in a narcotic stupor every 6 hours for 3 weeks, house is a mess, CAN'T WASH MY HAIR PROPERLY, have only been out of the house 2x, once to go to dr -- I think i would much rather have broken my leg.
I'd put on my happy-smiley kick-ass whatevs face for the first week of this, but (first world problem) this has really kicked me in the balls.
I didn't even open my laptop for a week and a half.
So. I skimmed a little, and I am so relieved that Vortex is ok (OMG, girl, SO GLAD!) and I offer a belated happy birthday to darling JZ and to Teppy and Happy Birthday today to Hec.
If I missed anyone or anything, I'm really sorry! I've been mired in the Slough of Despond and am trying very hard to fight my way out of it.
Oh, and I have a FAB new 5 inch vertical wrist scar that makes me look like I tried to commit suicide. (NOT pseudicide!) And I will no longer be able to breeze through TSA points -- I have 7 screws and a metal plate in my left wrist. Wanding and body searches for me, baybees!
(No weremonkey bites have been inflicted. 8 zillion Buffistas know I am real!)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Crippling public debt!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Strix, dear, you are entirely real, and deserving of a million hugs and a cocktail of your choice for the crappy dark patch you've been in lately.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hi, Strix! Glad to see your font! Sorry you're mired in the Slough of Despond.

Oh, that's much better than the joke I was going to make! Shorter and less filthy, for sure.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Aims, what's Greek quinoa? What do you put in it?
Everything but money!
I cook it and then chill it in the freezer while chop up the ingredients: artichoke hears, kalamata olives, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. I mix the quinoa and veggies and add pesto and feta. Though tonight, I will put the feta on the side for Joe and I to add.

That sounds excellent -- do you toss it with olive oil or anything? t edit I guess you wouldn't need to, necessarily, with the pesto. I read too quickly.

Thanks, all. I feel like I've been nibbled on by ROUS's but I am starting to kick them viciously, so there is that.
I've missed you all!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I just left an (unacademic, for SF/F fans) lecture while flipping the bird to the lecturer.
It was justified. He was distorting history, unneeded, for the sake of his argument. He wouldn't admit he's wrong. We argued. He shushed me and continued talking bullshit.
And also, yes, hi. You can pretty much expect me posting more regularly starting next week. Right now, people are wrong, life is mostly good but oh-so-amazingly-busy, and I missed this place.
(I also have no idea why I kept sitting in this place 15 minutes after he started babbling unnecessary bullshit. It was really a nice and funny piece about the differences between epic fiction and gritty fiction until he had to explain why he thinks gritty fiction is more popular today. Without facts. Just his very general ideas about life and how they are.)
So. How y'all doing?
