I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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."

Yeah, you know what distinction would be technically possible that would be really helpful, would be to be able to block photos that someone is just forwarding from somewhere else, and not ones they'd uploaded themselves. So I'd get a few where I have whackaloons who are creating the contentious content, but mostly I'd then just get cute baby and pet pictures and could ignore all the offensive or inane ones. With my students, there are a lot of inane ones.

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

I'm going to have to go to bed just to stop myself from eating everything in the kitchen.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Of course, right when I say that, I get a huge amount of important business done via facebook. Whatever, facebook!

Don't eat everything in the kitchen, Zen! Maybe make some herbal tea or something?

Our wings are not tired.

It is so good that you saw that woman, Hil.

I know that one, Zen! Tea has been my late night thing lately. It does help.

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

Damn it. After calling the police last night, I must have put my phone down somewhere different than usual, and now I can't find it.

edit: found it. It was in the pocket of my jacket.

Always Anti-fascist!

My mom saw a woman having some kind of problem with her diabetes out here like that once.

Diabetic shock is really scary stuff. Mmmmm, pie!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

So glad you were there to see her and help her, Hil.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Hil, you did a good thing. I hope whatever was wrong with the woman, she gets the help she needs.

I think I'm going to end up going back on antidepressants soon. I was really hoping to not be on them until after having a baby, but things are really bad right now. I'm going to talk to the fertility doctor when I see him on Monday and tell him that is my plan, maybe see if he can recommend a therapist in my area.
