Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, Stephanie, that's a lot of stuff! Here's to healing and emotional salve and all that stuff!

Trust my rage

Are they warming up for the traditional "death by a thousand cuts"?

I think so. Next Friday is the other 900, I think.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My smoke detector is chirping. Not constantly, just once a minute or so, and it's driving me nuts. The ceiling is way too high for me to reach it, even with a step stool. Is this something I should email my landlady about? I don't really want to bother her, since her husband just died a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure what my other options are.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The battery probably needs to be replaced, so yes.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

It will only stop chirping when it gets a new battery or the low battery warning finally runs out of power. Most people have gone mad before the latter happens. I think you'll have to call her unless you can enlist a neighbor or a very tall student.

OK, I emailed her. I also put on noise-cancelling headphones, which is helping save my sanity a bit, though it also means I can't practice guitar, which was my plan for this afternoon. I've reviewing sign language instead.

I am currently on cipro twice a day which is destroying my stomach. Yes, I am taking a probiotic and eating yogurt.

Stephanie, the situation with your ex sounds awkward. I'm sorry. Quick recovery~ma for your legs.

I hope your legs heal quickly, Stephanie.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Good lord, Stephanie, that sounds miserable.

sj, keeping my fingers crossed your stomach recovers quickly.

So, since D finally friended me on fb, I noticed his birthday is Jan. 24. Can I just say, goddammit?!? I haven't finished his New Year's gift yet. I mean, it's awesome, but not enough to serve as both. If I had the money, I'd get him a Russian rugby jersey. Wait! I has an amazon credit. Hmm.

eta no love on Amazon. God, do I hate being broke.

eata and right after that comes Valentine's.
