Maybe this is stating the super obvious, but it felt like a real revelation at the time: Hey! I'm still me!
I wrote this concern down in my high school journal. I guess there's some sense in late adolescence that you're in a state of flux.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

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 look more rad than Lutheranism
I don't want to interrupt this conversation, because I've really been enjoying reading it, but I've had this sitting on my chest all day, and I need to get it out:
My brother told me today that the restaurant will not be reopening. Basically, they're kind of screwed by all the FEMA requirements (the brewery was in the basement of the building, and it's the only place they can really put it, and they're not allowed to have it there on rebuilding), and they aren't getting as much from insurance as they hoped, and the owners are already in huge debt.
They still have the separate cannery facility (which opened the same week as the hurricane), and are going to expand it slightly, so he has a job, but that's really not the point.
It's kind of a sucking chest wound. My bro is fine, but it's still such a fucking loss.
Ugh. Perspective-wise, he has a job, the owners still have the cannery, but -- it just really sucks.

That does really suck, Steph.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's a shame, Steph. I'm sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Damn, Steph, I'm sorry.

It may be for the best; it may push them to distribute more widely, which they really ought to be doing. Their quality is well-regarded, by beer afficionados who know their shit. More people deserve that beer!
But it does suck right now.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, I am really sorry, Tep.

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

That really does suck, Tep. So sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm so sorry, Tep. Even if they can turn it into a really great next step in time, I know that place was a big part of all their hearts.
