I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

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.

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 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.

Good lord, Stephanie, that sounds miserable.

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.

The status is NOT quo.

This time of year is murder for gifts. Both my parents' birthdays are in December, then Christmas, then our anniversary, then my birthday, and two days after than Valentines. We don't tend to exchange gifts for our anniversary or Valentines as a result.

Smonster, I'm sorry about the money thing. I have a lot of November and January birthdays in my life too. Amazon just sent me a reminder for my older nephew's birthday. I used up all my ideas for him for Christmas. No idea what to do for his birthday.

sj, keeping my fingers crossed your stomach recovers quickly.

Thanks. I was thinking of you. My stomach is never good to begin with, it doesn't need this extra fun.

Yeah, I know it's "not about the money," but if you don't have any... it kind of is.

Hey Hil, or anyone else with a TENS unit, what kind do you have? I'm looking at this one on Amazon [link] because I somehow busted D's. It's cheap but gets good ratings.
