Happy Birthday, erika!
How the heck do hyenas mate, then? I mean, with a penis and a pseudo-penis... there's only keys and no lock, if you know what I mean... poor hyenas, no wonder they're snarly bastards.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I guess Jamaica has Netflix because we will never have a local variant. Its very crippled, though. My sister tossed it after an hour. Frustratingly, my Instant account is limited to that when I'm there.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I said happy birthday to erika, right? Never hurts to say it twice - happy birthday!
I'm having a drink tomorrow with StW. I'm giving him the last of his stuff back. It'll be the first time we've spoken in person since, uh, May. Somebody say something wise I can use for a mantra? I find myself still angry and disappointed, and still caring what he thinks but not wanting him to know I care. I just want get through it calmly and politely, without crying in public or being petty or spiteful. Oh, self.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It is what it is.
It's what I've been using with Dad and moving and just life. Because things are so far from ideal and they are not what I want, but I can't change the fact that my Dad is declining. I can only deal with the reality. And that is what it is.
You wanted something from StW that he wouldn't or couldn't give you. And it doesn't matter which of those it was. It matters that it wasn't there. It's not going to have changed. You can return things, be nicely civil but it's over and that doesn't change. So respect yourself and just get through it.
Also, ((smonster))

Smonster, it's like the guy I was sort of dating who told me that he wanted someone to go with him on a spiritual journey, and he didn't think I was ready for that, so we decided to be friends. And then he turned around and started dating a 23 year old.
It was not that long ago that I would have thrown an epic fit when I found out (one of his friends blurted it out when we were at a bar). But, I decided that the important fact was that he didn't want to date me. In the long run, it didn't really matter why.
Just keep reminding yourself that it wasn't going to work out. And if you think that you won't handle it well, just cancel and drop the stuff off at his house when he's not home. It's about what's best for you, not making him feel comfortable.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
It's funny how hard it is for the heart to catch up to what your head knows is right. Be kind with yourself, smonster.

This is my bottom line. Take care of you. Drop his shit off if you need to. Though if he hasn't needed it for 3 months...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I've booked the December cruise for the family Tea. Biyi's parents were concerned about the size of the ship (because of her father's motion sickness) and sought confirmation that it weighs more than 10 tons. It weighs 77,000 tons. I like to think they find that reassuring. (I have my own reactions, but then I didn't need reassurance in the first place.)

RIGHT. I knew there was an obvious one I couldn't bring to mind. That will do nicely. Duh, it's what I returned to again and again with B.

So freaking true.

OMG! I remember the first half of that story, but I don't think you gave me the update! Wowza.
I'm going to go through with it and see him. It will most likely be absolutely fine. Thank you all, your support and wisdom is muchly appreciated.
