Debet, I am so sorry. Much love to you.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Debet, I'm so sorry. It's so hard to say goodbye to a beloved pet - especially when you have to make the final decision. Charlie was much loved.
ION, I really need to learn to deal better with my kid when he hits me. I think I'm a pretty good mom in general, but I really feel the fight or flight reflex kick in when he hauls off and smacks me. I just get SO pissed and I raise my voice and it alarms him and hurts his feelings - queue the tears and him not wanting me around for a bit. Yes, he needs to know hitting is not acceptable, but I need to learn to deal in a reasonable, adult manner. This parenthood thing is hard.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
It's a pack of lies, I tell ya. It's otter slander and I won't stand for it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
BTDT, Glam. Sure, go ahead and work on not losing your temper, but you're human. It happens. I feel guilty every time I do it, so I get the guilt, but you're human.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Maybe he'll start connecting hitting you with hurt feelings and stop.
ETA: Not a parent, so my input's probably not worth much.

Where are all the Bitches today?
I went out with TCG's stepmother today to a tea shop and to get manicures. I haven't had my nails done in a very long time. They're now a gorgeous shade of very dark purple.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I'm at work. In spite of today being 4/20 it's not super exciting here. That is nice. I've been brushing up on my Buffy trivia cuz...well, just cuz.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm sorry, Debet. That's so sad.
I'm at work. In spite of today being 4/20 it's not super exciting here. That is nice.
amyth and I ended up in the Wendy's drivethrough that night behind someone who took ten minutes to place a $40 order, and then another five minutes to pay and receive the order. We wondered at our foolishness in hitting up a fast food restaurant on 4/20.
Glam, you are human. Would it help to acknowledge your anger in the moment? To tell him that it makes you upset and angry? I mean, that's one reason he oughten't do it, right?
