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.

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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

The sales lady was more amazed that the head office approved it than I was! Wow. I think that is the best haggling I have EVER done.

That mortgage is for 809 sq ft condo. There is also $395 HOA fees per month.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, none of my surviving Aunts and Uncles are on FB, my cousins who I friend on FB either don't care about politics (esp. US politics) or don't talk about it, my parents' Canadian friends are all extreme leftists, and Dad's cousin is a former NDP MP who mostly talks about environmental and health issues.

So it's not about them being Canadian?

Good job, omnis!

Thrive to spite them

I'm not sleeping well, I have no idea what's going on but it's annoying how bad it is and the klonopin is not helping and I don't think a higher dose would help.

But after therapy today I went to the yarn shop so I can start a new project I'm making fingerless gloves for Dad for Xmas. He said they'd be helpful for when he's hunting and needs to load a shotgun. The pattern K picked for me is based off a pair a female character in Twilight wears. Here's the pattern [link] But I think in the brown heather yarn I got they'll look fine.

They are knitted on double points so I'm also learning something new.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Don't let all the ends on the dpns scare you. It's all just knitting. I've done more fingerless mitts than I care to think about. Those look straight-forward enough (and certainly manly enough for a hunter)

Those look great! I'm scared of dpns.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm scared of dpns.

Magic loop.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I do magic loop. Does that mean I don't have to learn double pointed?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I find magic loop more intimidating than dpns, but maybe that's because I learned how to use dpns a long time ago and am very comfortable with them.

I feared magic loop until I did it (it was new! And talked anout by those hip knitters! And i didnt realize it was actually the same as that thing i called "faking it because i can't be arsed to get the right size of dpns when there's a circular right the hell here!") and then immediately quit using dpns for anything. I never feared dpns, but I was never comfortable with them either -- too many pieces pointing in too many directions, and I tend to lose 2 or so of each set.
