I had a nice dinner tonight, but OMG was so full I barely ate any of dessert! Not sure how that happened. Met a guy at an alumni event a while back who travels as much as I do (he works for a coffee importer, so he does more international travel--jealous!), so we had a nice foodie dinner and geeked out over frequent flier miles and upgrades and so on. Much fun! We're planning to do it again sometime...in December, since we're both that busy. :) (And if only I were straight, I'd totally consider dating him, but no. I'm thinking of introducing him to my roomie, though)
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[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.
bonny, how absolutely atrocious. Patience to you, and swift healing to Bartleby.
I went to a birthday party, and hung with the Americorps volunteers, and carved a pumpkin and had a couple of drinks. Texted StW and went by his house on the way home. We just talked for a while and caught up, and I confirmed that he still does want to see me in whatever spare time he can find. That was enough to put the insecurity demons back at bay. I still really like him. He still wants to hang with me. I guess we'll just keep seeing where it takes us.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

You are an awesome giver, meara.

First world problem - can't get my charger to plug into my phone. Not drunk anymore. Wtf.

Yay for StW still wanting to hang out, boo for him being too damn busy!
I figure he and the roomie were both in the Peace Corps...that's something! He might be a little old for her though--I think he's about 38? and she's 28.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
You can tell her from me that a 10 year age gap is no big whoop.

meara,
you really are an awesome roommate! Why didn't I have a roommate like you years ago?

Having Peace Corps in common can be a cool thing, I've found.
So I somehow bent over some little pins, and I think my iphone is fucked. I wonder if they can just replace that piece. ISTG, every paycheck it's something. I mean, I drop my iphone twenty times a day on the job site, and I break it plugging it in? Grr.
hmm, so I could get a new 3GS for free if I sign another 2 year contract, or I could get a 4G for $99. But they only have 8 gig models for those two.

Compassionately intolerant
I have NEVER understood why throwing a wedding is such a societal excuse to act like an asshole. (Not saying you were implying this, le nubian.)
I mean, organizing a big event can be stressful, but GET OVER IT. You are planning a party and getting married, not going to war. People do not get a "act like a douche and get out of jail free" card because it's a wedding.
OMGtothepowerofwtf. Totally this.
I see it ALL the time and just have to shake my head. When I got married, I threw my own homemade wedding and did everything, including making my dress. The only thing I had a fit about was when the graphic arts student I hired to help me silk screen the announcements MISSPELLED MY HUSBAND'S LAST NAME...which I didn't see until she'd done 200 of them. That required ire. The rest of it, eh.

I am engaged in a "my dog is cuter" contest on fb with my ex gf. That counts as being productive, right? ...right?
