I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

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.

askye, maybe the perfect dose is somewhere in between? :)

Ooh, Norway is an awesome posting.

I just downloaded some books from the library. Finishing watching Glee.

move out and draw fire

Ooo, Norway.

I am heading to Caracas, Venezuela, for two years or until we get evacuated.

Fun facts: a resident of Caracas is 10 times more likely to be killed than a resident of Baghdad. 60% of the city is off-limits to us at all times, another 30% is off-limits after dark, and the remaining 10% is where 50% of the murders and kidnappings take place.

So it's basically 2 years of house arrest.

I'm in tech. I know you are all shocked.

Thrive to spite them

meara, I'm really not that upset. The next step is either adding a new medication or going off Seroquel and trying something new. And I'm ready to do that.

I've been organizing some genealogy files, doing laundry, and cooking. I've got some Cincinnati chili cooking now.

Oh, and I think my neurons have gotten totally confused -- soap smells like cilantro now. I smelled some soap, and thought, "Oh, that's kind of interesting, they made cilantro-scented soap," and then I realized that it was just soap-scented soap. But cilantro itself still tastes good to me.

Oh, Raq, Caracas is a wild place, definitely more dangerous now, but it's also a wonderful place, with some fantastic people.

Eeep! I'm hoping you update us often while you are in Caracas! That sounds troublesome.

I'm somewhat patiently waiting for DH to finish some work so we can catch up on Fringe. I'm done with work today.

I did swim 60 laps. I am a spoiled baby. My rule is when I turn off the house A/C I turn on the pool heater. So worth it! But having both running in the same month would result in an electric bill that would hurt way too much. I've had the A/C off for a couple weeks but only cranked up the heat on the pool a couple days ago. Ahhhh.

Yikes, Raq. I hope your posting goes as well as possible.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Good for you, Laura!

I am starting work now. I'm at the folks' place, while the SO goes hunting. It's with the pastor of one of our supporting churches, one of the members (who owns the cabin and the land), and a guy who works at the major camp where we got our funds the one summer. So it's kinda sorta networking too. But mostly fun.

Anyway, I'm here, and it's nice to see the folks, and I have a metric tonne of stuff to get done by Wednesday.

I dislocated my shoulder this afternoon. (My shoulder has been OK for a while, but I haven't really been doing my physical therapy exercises as often as I should, plus I've been carrying a lot of stuff lately.) It didn't hurt too much at first, but it's hurting a lot now.
